    I’m not downboating you myself, but - on one hand you’re not technically wrong - the collection of facts about that day supports both statements

    The point being made by the original poster is that this event isn’t something shocking and unique, it’s something that was statistically bound to happen.

    Fox and their conservative sphere have been mastering the art of ‘spin’ for decades. That is, they’ve found that you can take a collection of facts and make any number of stories, just by changing which details are empathized. Indeed, they’ve made this about the attack, and have used it to advance their agenda. Your statement is a ‘both sides’ thing and that too plays into their hand - that’s why you’re being downvoted. This post is about changing the narrative, not just adding details to conservative spin.
