    Mass shootings by blacks happen routinely in this country in our major cities. 20 shoot in Milwaukee this weekend, I think it was ten in Chicago.
    Being reported he had had problems at school and undergone mental evaluations.

    Have you ever thought we should STUDY these guys, like to find out WHY they did this and maybe even PREVENT one like if from happening in the future?

    THEN we should fry him.

    Okay, my mistake. The EB does say Germans are a pretty large segment.

    I wonder why Italians and Spanish aren't regarded as whites.

    It’s not because I want to see it that way, it is that way. The fact you will condemn one type of black murder yet just say good riddance to the other shows your racial biases

    They probably should have left it alone for the time being:

    Bee ess. That story was everywhere. Were you expecting it to stsy in the headlines forever? The man was universally condemned. He's behind bars and will stand trial. No one is making excuses for him as far as I've seen.

    What about innocent people being shot outside a sports complex?

    Is someone preparing your dish of crow yet?

    He identifies himself as a white supremacist. Are you man enough, honorable enough, to admit you were wrong on this? If you're just going to deny, or make excuses, don't bother to reply.

    No, but they would label it as a hate crime, which carries heavier sentencing. Isn't that what they are doing in the NYC subway shooter's case?

    Crow would actually cause self reflection to the defenders, deniers and the deflectors.

    That is an excellent question. Did his parents help to radicalize him? I suspect that, like with many young white male shooters, that he's a socially awkward kid with few friends and no girl friends (i.e., an incel) who spent too much time online as was radicalized by at least one white supremacist group with a big presence on the internet.

    You just had to use political parties as consequental in this incident, couldn't help yourself.

    Now that weknow he self-identifies as a white supremacist, will you man up and admit you were wrong? I won't hold my breath.

    You're right about the antidepressants, though. They should not be given to teens. Studies have shown sharp increases in suicidal tendencies as a result.

    Is it? Have you heard anything about how/where he got the gun?

    In other words, do you know something, or is this just an excuse to display your deeply partisan "clever" remarks?

    You don't know a propaganda story when you see it. Your CNN news "story" is short on facts (five Ws) and long on innuendo.

    But keep talking about Trump on every post and subject. Please. Cause now it is starting to look like the MAGA King will return. The high powered Dem public propaganda machine should have studied Joseph Campbell in college. In particular, the "Hero's Journey". You and other libs are unknowingly aligning Trump to this archetypal myth. lol

    If the Dem party was smart, they would hire me as a consultant. I would tell them to ignore Trump and let him fade away. To think Biden paid good money to come up with the "MAGA King" moniker. smh

    If someone does some reading and finds out that a mass shooting was racially motivated, does that automatically indicate to you that the posting user is defending or praising something?

    Why do you so often assign emotions or views to to other users? It's a bit rude and very annoying.

    It's nice to see a focus on our common humanity and empathy, rather than endless arguing. That was a nice gesture towards Steve and I'd like to second that sentiment.

    Pretty sure you need to prove that.

    The shooter got his gun and extended magazines legally in Pennsylvania and secretly drove them a couple of hundred miles to Buffalo.

    Next to NYC, Buffalo has a large minority population. He probably figured it would he much easier than driving into NYC and trying to find a place to park up in Harlem.
