As soon as the suspect was named, and people found their assumptions were oh-so-very-wrong, all interest was gone.

People who "just know" will pretend it never happened.

Weird. The death of four Muslims just . . . isn't interesting to them anymore.

Almost as if the caring wasn't sincere and instead was entirely contingent upon whether or not it was useful.

But no. That would be a terribly cynical thing to think.
