Not new. See: McVeigh, Kaczynski, 1960s race riots, etc.
What's new is the media being able to saturate everyone's attention with these events. In the past, there would have been some TV and radio news, and articles in each newspaper, but those didn't occupy people's attention like internet news and regurgitated social media news does now.
