As horrible as this event is, contrast how the media and even Freepers approach the story as compared to how they compared the mass murder of members or the Living Church of God.

At the very least, will anyone call for a close examination of the religious doctrines of this closed in society of racially-oriented people?

Will anyone worry that something might be wrong with a group that discourages its members to select a mate from within the group?

Will the also delve into the background of this society and examine decades-old literature about what they teach their members?

To all three questions I would hope not. But I only raise them to illustrate the absurdity of the reaction to Ratzmann's murdering of 7 fellow members of the LCG.

"But I only raise them to illustrate the absurdity of the reaction to Ratzmann's murdering of 7 fellow members of the LCG."

Religious cult murderers have different motives than depressed loner murderers. It could have been that Ratzman's primary motive was depression also, but that isn't usually the case in religious group killings. Thats just the way it is, and denying the truth isn't particularly helpful.
