When I google Lakeisha Holloway, I get 523,000 results...
yet when I google James Alex Fields, I find over 24 MILLION....in a matter of a couple days.
Both were racist a**holes. Both drove their cars into a crowd of people (in her case, innocent people going about their lives, not violent protesters). Both killed one person. Be honest-who even knew who Holloway was without going back and googling it? Why the difference in coverage? Why was there no condemnation of her actions by the Democratic party? Why no blaming the president at the time for embracing and supporting a group of violent racists? Why the different standard?
Just an example how there's a different standard for white offenders and those on the right. The media is clearly biased against whites and conservatives.
Crimes that fit the narrative receive exponentially more attention. Fields, like Timothy McVeigh, will become one of the most publicized criminals of his generation.

Holloway's crash was not politically motivated, Field's was and thus generates more discussion - plus Fields has defenders so that would also increase number of mentions.

Um, when searching for NAMES, it's best to put the name in QUOTES like this "James Alex Fields" - 239,000 hits. Without quotes you get all those 'extra' unrelated hits because both James and Fields are very common names. Lakeisha isn't a very common name.
Because maybe you're the only one who ever said Lakesia Holloway was a rascist a..hole?
There's some psychological difference between a young homeless mother with a 3-year old who was living in a car and had not had a solid night's sleep in weeks because the cops kept waking her up and making her move on and an avowed young racist who has a long history of Nazi fascination.
There's a little difference between a woman who was living in the place where she fell apart and a young man who travelled hundreds of miles for one specific purpose- to become part of a KKK rally.
And there's just a little difference between what the police said about Holloway and what the police said about Fields. Since both were arrested, who knows more about each? The cops who did the interviews or you?
After Holloway was interviewed, the Las Vegas police said racism played no part in what she did. But she still faced 1,000 years in prison for her crime until the judge declared her mentally unfit to try and had her committed. I couldn't find what the results of her metal evaluation were, but it sounded like she was schizophrenic to me. I could be wrong, but my shop was once next door to an outpatient clinic and I met quite a few of them.
Who knows what the outcome of Fields' trial will be, but I'm guessing it will be different. Wanna bet?

Then quit googling, it appears to be bad for your health.
I agree... we should be "DuckDuckGo"-ing
