@Metal-Brain saidWhile the victim has been the subject of a number of stories, murders in the US are generally only local stories - we average over 50 a day.
Good for you.
That is not the case in the USA. Nobody is talking about it.
Don't tell me what the corporate news media is reporting in the USA.
You don't live here!
So it's not surprising that the death of an average man is getting only a minute amount of coverage compared to Trump's grazed ear. You might as well complain the other 49 or so Americans murdered that day aren't getting national news coverage.

Sweet Jesus. That’s absurd!
Edit: in the Netherlands, in 2023, 128 people died a violent death.
18 million inhabitants. Living closer together that most people in the US.
Now… the US has 350 million inhabitants (I think… God only knows… ) so, 350 divided by 18 = 19.5 times the population.
So, we go 19.5 x 128 = 2500
The US is 50 x 365 (days) = 18.250
So, the murder rate in the US is 7.3 times that of the Netherlands.
Crazy!!!
