+- No federal hate crime was pursued |
|
47 |
+- Headlines ignored the racial component entirely |
|

|

+- Media framing emphasized Johnson’s mental state, military background, and frustration over “social injustice” |

+This is a textbook example of hate crime **reclassification through omission** — a crime that met every standard for racial bias but was **deliberately stripped of that framing** because the victims were White. |
