This type of thing happens so often the new does not feel the need to report it. Thats the disgusting part.

I see your point but it's been this way for a long long time. Heck, back in 1977 I witnessed the aftermath of a brutal murder, where a deranged guy stabbed a really nice young woman in the parking lot of the Joplin mall something like 60 times, then slit her throat. She walked in a daze into the mall, tried to say something to me, and collapsed on a shoe display where she took her last breath right there in front of my horrified self. I knew her as she often came in to the restaurant I worked at then.
It made local news for a day or two, and then a few years later when they did a story on the murderer, who had been out of the mental ward for a few years and had a family. He "served" just a few years in the mental ward for a pre-meditated murder. He rode in the back of her car for something like 60 miles, hiding, and sprung his attack when she parked at the mall. The family of the girl found out the killer was free and living large by reading that article in the local paper. He was living with his new family just a few blocks away.
