A Tennessee man who was convicted in April of attempting to procure a chemical weapon and of possession of stolen explosives has been sentenced to thirty years in a federal court.
Has this news made the front page of the New York Times? Has Faux News been featuring the story on every newscast for the past fortnight? Are the 101st Keyboarders in a foaming, rabid frenzy that he hasn't been sentenced to death?
The answer to all the above questions is "NO".
Why I wonder. Perhaps it is because the convicted felon, Demetrius "Van" Crocker, is a right wing, presumably "Christian", white supremacist and not someone truly dangerous such as an innocent Muslim.
