The Den Hollander example is a good one but the victim
was not on the Supreme Court ahead of a major decision.
“Man arrested outside of Sotomayor’s house for attempted murder ahead of landmark decision to ban firearms” isn’t fading out of the spotlight so quietly.
Fair enough. I can't say how America would respond to that story because it didn't happen. All I can do is show relatively similar stories. That story of the federal judge's family being attacked made national news, but it wasn't something we as a nation dwelled on for very long, from my memory. I didn't even realize he was identified as a trump supporter until I googled it for this conversation. So, would America obsess about an opposite case of this story? I think it's possible, but I also think the news cycle moves so fast nowadays that nothing really gets much of a spotlight anymore.
Unless, of course, you air public trials dissecting it for days at a time. Then it will last one day after the trials end
