A mass shooting at a news outlet? Wow! So the shooter was exercising his first and his second amendment rights! God bless America.
Doesn't seem like Zombie was suggesting that, just curious about what stops a domestic terrorist from burning off his fingerprints or whatever he did.
@Tererun Imbecile, I make no claims about any racial basis for mass shootings, other than to dispell the myth that white guys are somehow overrepresented. They're not, and I've provided evidence to that effect.
Maybe, but really, how could anyone think this would keep them from being identified? Sooner or later, his picture's going to be on TV.
Actually, no you provided twenty picture spanning decades. If you cherry picked twenty shooters from this year that would not be statistically accurate either because of the number of mass shootings and the ratio you used. Unlike you I can do math. Now where is my ban for math in the red room?
Police have confirmed that it was a targeted attack. But apparently @Sean the Puritan and @oldfella1962 don’t think there can be any rhetorical influence.
what are you doing about yours Ma Kettle? My zip code has an extreme rate of gun ownership, but a low gun violence rate. For example my subdivision has a lot of military, government workers, retired military, cops/GBI agents, etc. and leans conservative. And my neighborhood is ethnically "diverse" in case you were wondering. Any thoughts?
If there have been 97 mass shootings (per @Tuckerfan ) in recent decades, 20 is a significant percentage. If *every* other mass shooter were white, white males would be mass shooters in direct proportion to their share of the population.
I didn't say there couldn't be. So while we are on the subject, prove that every killing in Augusta Ga wasn't influenced by rhetoric. Last night somebody killed a 60 year old wheelchair-bound guy right out there in the street front of god & everybody. What rhetoric influenced him counselor? Right wing hate? I'm a jury member - convince my ass.
So your argument now is that because some crimes are influenced by rhetoric, all must be? Are you mentally ill?
Let us see. A simple search for the imbecile who cannot use Google, aka Palin. http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting?page=6 Oh look, 7 pages of shootings and it looks to be over twenty per page. That is just this year. Oh, Palin caught in another lie. Wish that was news, but stop working off of tuckerfan and do some real work next time liar. This is why the right has no place in the gun conversation until they can stop deflecting from solutions and pretending the problem does not exist. Three seconds worth of work and that is all the great Palin is worth.
okay El Chup...so if you don't agree with the rhetoric then it influences a crime. The rhetoric vomited by those you side with is harmless. Fuck it's a good thing you aren't a trial lawyer - your clients would keep the prisons filled to capacity!
Third straw man in a row. You have so little intellectual honesty. Nobody said anything about agreeing with or disagreeing with the rhetoric.
Dyofdw. You are the one making the claim, and my claim has been proven mathematically. If you want to pretend that this is not a white people problem you need to prove that the ratio of incidents from the beginning of your timeline is equal to the ratio of white people in society. Twenty incidents would not even cover a percent if the incidents in the decades since your list started. There are far more than one percent of non white people in society. If you wish to claim this is not a white problem do the proper work and show that over the past few decades mass shootings are performed by other races far more than white people. You are not even close with your present Intellectual dishonesty, and I welcome you to correct your reputation and do the honest thing. We may very well see that you can make that proof with the stats, but it is not my claim not my job to support the idea.
You'll never know, will you? But keep playing this like it's a fucking ping-pong game to avoid any responsibility for Gunlubbers of Merica.
Do you spew this much bullshit on a daily basis in your line of work? Nice work if you can get it I guess.
If the surname is an indicator, this fucknut wasn't white. Sources identify suspect in Annapolis Capital shooting as Jarrod Ramos, who had long-running feud with paper
Ramos? Hmmm......but he isn't very brown. Not brown enough to get sympathy from the left that's for sure - kind of a Zimmerman thing I guess. But the HUGE thing here the narrative about guns.... turns out he may have used a SHOTGUN! Well it must have been a scary looking military style "assault" shotgun no doubt.....employing bump-fire of course.
Looks like in 2011, he was charged with criminal harassment, and got mad at the paper for its coverage of the case, sparking a years-long grudge that included a lawsuit.
