All morning, Twitter has been inundated with tweets decrying the lack of media coverage about the alleged terrorist bombing near an NAACP office in Colorado Springs, Colo.
PLEASE everybody, mainly national news outlets, CARE MORE ABOUT THIS, it's barely getting coverage:http://t.co/F0FCESedOr #NAACPBombing

Soooo, no media outlets are gonna discuss what happened in Colorado today?? #NAACPBombing

The silence on the #NAACPBombing is because it is not viewed as a threat to White America. And it isn't. But #AllLivesMatter though, right?

Indifference of most US media to NAACP terrorist bombing in Colorado may have inadvertent consequence of not inflaming copycat attacks.

To the surprise of nobody, racialist agitator Shaun King is fanning the flames:

The idea, according to the Left, is that there is a moral equivalence between the alleged “NAACP bomber” and the homicidal nutjob who assassinated two New York Police Department officers a few weeks ago. Seriously?
MSM seems to be ignoring #NAACPBombing because it was just a lone nut…but so was NYPD shooting

As for the purported media blackout, here are just a few of the articles published during the past 24 hours:
- FBI investigating explosion outside NAACP office in Colorado
- Colorado explosion could be a hate crime, NAACP official says
- Colorado Springs explosion recalls violence against NAACP
- “Improvised explosive device” set off near Colorado Springs NAACP office
- Bomb explodes outside NAACP office in Colorado
- ‘Bomb’ explodes outside the NAACP office in Colorado sparking FBI search for ‘balding white man in his 40s’
- Man sought after IED detonates outside NAACP building
- Bomb explodes near Colorado Springs NAACP office
- FBI seeks man after explosion near Colorado NAACP chapter
- A Bomb Went Off Outside a Colorado NAACP Office on Tuesday
- Blast Near Colorado Springs NAACP Chapter: Police
- Bomb explodes outside NAACP building in Colorado Springs
- FBI investigating explosion outside Colo. NAACP branch
All for a “bomb” (probably an M-80 firecracker) that did not cause any injuries or significant property damage and which has not yet been determined to have targeted anyone specifically.
The Colorado Springs Gazette said the explosion occurred at Mr. G’s Hair Salon, which shares an address with the NAACP office. A Mr. G’s employee, however, told Twitchy the explosion occurred in the back of the building — some distance away from the entryways of both Mr. G’s and the NAACP office.
Does it strike anyone else as odd that the “NAACP bomber” didn’t place his firecracker in front of the NAACP’s office?
Yes. Yes it does:
@Polarinski I bet dude had his hands up when placing the firecracker next to the BEAUTY SHOP.#BeautyShopFirecrackering not #NAACPBombing

Have you ever seen a more self obsessed, self important, desperate to be victims of gas can firecracker attack than #NAACPBombing people?
