Tbf it does make the news, not as often though (which it wouldn't be in the news as often if there is less of it). BUT its generally reported as 'mentally ill person commits act of violence' rather than how Islamic terrorism is. I hate that, how when its a white person its 'just' mental illness. Noone rushes to say Jihadis are mentally ill...
Also, things tend to only make the news when an attack is successful. I actually can't remember the last time it was a 'mentally ill white man'. I think possibly the attack on the Mosque, that was generally framed as retaliation to violence rather than terorrism. Which is what it is, just with different victims.
