#2What's the point of this article?
Cyberbullying campaigns on from twitter aren't new.
This kind of coverage of it is making it feel like another "battle in the culture war" which I'm getting really tired of.

#5Sorry I got confused - am I supposed to interpret this as stochastic terrorism, or as the language of the unheard? What about when two teens deliberately run over a cyclist [0], or any of the other black-on-white killings, such as ones VICE themselves reported on [1]? Or when a school board president, his wife, and his children, are threatened for allowing only the US flag in school [2]? Does VICE news share guilt for their promotion of hate [3,4,5,6,7]? Do the schools, when they dehumanize whites into mosquitoes [8,9]?

You seem to equate one-off incidents with patterns. That makes anything in the links you've posted pretty meaningless.

Maybe the point is the reach - this lists dozens of school districts receiving bomb threats.
Maybe that's normal, but without knowledge of other cyberbullying campaigns that seems pretty remarkable.

I can't be bothered to run the math now (especially since the FBI tracking hispanic ethnicity separately from race complicates everything), but I believe that according to the 2016 FBI homicide statistics, a random black person is about 10x as likely to kill a white person, as a random white person is to kill a black. (There are "only" 2x as many black-on-white murders as white-on-black, but there are ~5x more white people than black, so the per-capita interracial murder perpetration rate is 10x higher. I'm going by memory, so I welcome a double-check)
Regardless, the media do not hesitate to abuse "one-off incidents". I applaud your appeal to a higher standard, but unless you apply this standard evenly, it is just another form of bias.

Did you read your [1] link? Their answer was "yes, in fact" and aside from taking the perspective that this may be surprising to many folks, the article doesn't really argue against it.

You know that these types of folks don't read articles.
