The death of Heather Heyer is easily the biggest factor. If no one died and no one was run over, this probably would've been forgotten by now like the fights at Berkeley. But it would've been a slightly bigger story than Berkeley because of the torches and more blatant racism.
Agreed. Though if it was a left wing guy killing a white nationalist it would still be big but a much smaller story. That story would probably be comparable to Chattanooga or Oak Creek in size at best. This story is up there with Newtown and Orlando as among the biggest of the decade. I talked to a South African media researcher and, unless Barcelona is able to make a significant impact in a day, it'll make up over half the newshole for this week.
