I find it odd that this event received so little national news coverage. I remember the shooting on the strip by the pimp in the Range Rover, but I can't remember hearing of this previously.
It seems the two events are very similar: person A feels disrespected, person A "evens the score."
It might be an interesting study for some culture or communications class, as to why the news media's coverage was different. Possibly just that the pimp had evaded capture?
