For any skeptical people, just watch how this event is covered compared to christchurch.
This will mostly be a footnote while the other one was covered for a week 24/7.

Uh-huh. But - be careful. WHO is doing the coverage? The US is only 5% of the world's population. All of the nominally Christian world? Maybe 25%, probably not. What is the OTHER 75% of the world covering? I suspect that someone is milking this for all it's worth. Care to discuss who that someone(s) might be, and where they might be found? It is surely not US/Western mainstream media covering it, because it can't be made to fit the narrative.
