barthel:

• Number of tweets about the Colorado theater shooting in the first 24 hours following the incident: 52,657
• Number of tweets about the Sikh gurdwara shooting in the first 24 hours following the incident: 9,031

Olympics, to be fair. 

And the Colorado shooting had the synergy of happening at a midnight showing of the biggest film of the year, as gross as that sounds. 

But apart from that, yeah.
