This was more than just a riot over the death of a local. This TENSION appears to have been festering over time:
The Moscow authorities on Monday scrambled to calm inter-communal tensions after the Russian capital was rocked by some of its worst ethnically-fueled rioting in years, sparked by the killing of a Russian allegedly by a Muslim migrant from the Caucasus.
Seeking to avert further protests, Moscow police detained 1,200 people in a raid on migrants as officials vowed to crack down on vegetable wholesale markets in the capital which employ hundreds illegally.
The initially peaceful protest in the Biryulyovo district of southern Moscow to protest the killing of Yegor Shcherbakov, 25, rapidly descended into bloody clashes with the police that left the glass doors of a shopping centre smashed and cars upturned.
Police said Sunday evening that 394 people had been arrested at the riots and on a later raid on a local train. The RIA Novosti news agency said all would be released with the exception of 72 whose cases would be sent to court.
Police said that the situation in the district was now calm after they brought in hundreds of reinforcements in a bid to deal with the crisis and enforced their extreme “Vulkan” operation plan which is used in case of a terror attack.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced that a special operation centre had been set up to deal with the situation, and that he had already reported about the crisis to President Vladimir Putin.

....The topic of immigration was the single biggest issue in September’s elections for Moscow mayor, won by the pro-Kremlin incumbent Sobyanin despite a challenge from protest leader Alexei Navalny.
Navalny, who has taken a tough line on immigration, wrote on Monday that the Biryulyovo market had been a crime-plagued powder keg for years which authorities had ignored.
“You have to understand that the more horror a place densely populated by migrants brings to the lives of locals, the more money it brings to the security services and local authorities,” he wrote on his popular Livejournal blog....Read the rest of the story HERE and view a related video below:

Have you seen this story on the TV News anywhere? We don't want to sour the public on Immigration now do we?
This is what policies of uncontrolled Immigration and the Government looking the other way on illegal immigrants can lead to.

Illegal immigration exists to subvert America, and it doesn't happen because officials look the other way. It happens because the homesteading Congress has a policy of illegal immigration. They want to use illegals to subvert the will of the people.
They vote for these people. This is a highly organized effort to thwart the will of The People.

But the reality is our media doesn't care about American interests. It has to be embarrassing to be part of this enemedia right now. So, your point is accurate. Yes, our media isn't covering the news.
