    No, you’re correct. Based on the names under the kid’s faces in the meme, they are referring to the Moscow, ID killings.

    Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were students at the University of Idaho who lived at a nearby off-campus residence in Moscow, a college town of about 25,000 people.

      I lived in Moscow a few times. Now everyone knows about the place “oh Moscow, that’s where that quadruple homicide happened yeah?” And that’s literally all they know about it lol. For anyone curious part of why it was such big news is because murders don’t happen too often there, like one every 5-10 years, so for it to be a quadruple is bonkers. It’s the kind of town where people don’t lock their houses before going to work, they leave their cars unlocked with keys in ignition to stop in a grocery store, if your bike is stolen you’ll find it a few blocks away, and it’s not uncommon for young kids to wander around alone because the community generally looks after them
