"That's just the spark son. The excuse we've been waiting for. America's wanted this war for years. "

They were going to make any attack on anyone an excuse for more violence on their part.

The people who make it a regular habit to attack others because of who they are, yet also somehow have a persecution complex, find it pretty easy to assume that when one of their own gets attacked it's because of who they are too. It's like a damned street gang that's looking for a fight. "One of themmmm killed one of ussss, time to counter attack! To waaar!"

"... oh shit THAT bullet was from our side TOO? I think nobody noticed. Can we get this party started or what!?"

It's as gross as it is predictable. Their reactions to these shootings always follow the same rule: a member of the master race killing one of the subhumans is just an unfortunate fact of life, but one of the subhumans killing a member of the master race merits national if not global headlines that will at minimum be memorable trivia for people who lived through that year.

And I say this as an old white dude.
