    @Captain X What's so fantasy world about this?

    Racist bullying happens all the time in school and black kids aren't mowing down crackers left and right.

    Because not all of these shooters have been white. Hell, the Virginia Tech shooter just off the top of my head. Or does that not count because it was at a college? :diacanu:

    You did say "not all of these shooters have been white. Hell, the Virginia Tech shooter just off the top of my head."

    In response to the assertion that all of the shooters were white. Do you even fucking pay attention to the conversation going on, or are you too busy looking for cheap "gotcha" moments to attempt?

    No mention of the 56 Angry White Boyz posted in #2133. No wonder you're such a scared widdle rabbit, hiding behind the sofa in your 81% white suburb. Or have you moved to the bathtub because it'll hold up better under fire?

    Only two years' worth of Angry White Men for @Forbin's perusal. I'll gladly provide all 56.

    We all have to deal with smarter, more successful peers, kid. Granted, not as frequently as you do, but still - most of us can get by without wanting to shoot them. If you feel you can't, turn yourself in before this shit escalates.

    Post #2143, and you expect me to do your homework for you? This is where you Righties always go wrong. If you want to prove a point, you have to prove it. Clearly the post in question is stuck in your brain. You just make yourself look foolish when you refuse to provide it.

    I think I'll just continue with the list of Angry White Men who have committed 1.37x as many mass murders as All Others Combined:

    Is it bad that 2/3rds of those guys look like they could be user avs for this site?

    Silka's only excluded due to implausibility since he could be FF's if the kid could grow facial hair.

    It is interesting an rdevealing that so many FB posters are more interested in trying to discredit and dismiss the protesters instead of coming up with their own counter arguments. It's really no wonder there's no dialogue. When anyone who doesn't think that giving everybody in the whole fucking country a gun is labeled a leftist gun grabber it really doesn't leave any room for serious discussion.

    Here's another chart from the same source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/476445/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-gender/

    Number of mass shootings by men since 1982: 94
    Number of mass shootings by women since 1982: 2
    By men and women (I'm assuming that's the San Bernardino shooting): 1

    Yeah, but I don't think anyone would argue most shootings in general aren't perpetrated by men. :shrug:

    There's a rather silly argument going on in my corner of FB that "men are toxic." The push-back is "No, some men have developed toxic attitudes for a number of complex reasons, but being male isn't the qualifier." Some of us are mentioning men who are anything but toxic. First one to come up was Mister Rogers, followed by Leonard Nimoy. Can't exactly see either of 'em even owning a weapon (well, except in those cowboy flicks Nimoy did early in his career), much less using one, can you?

    There’s a persistent urban myth that Fred Rogers was a former SEAL with double-digit confirmed kills in Vietnam. It’s said he always wore a sweater to cover his extensive tattoos. :lol:

    Not that extreme, but sounds like it could be based on Bob Ross who was in the air force for many years and adopted his soft spoken speaking patterns as a way of drawing a line under that experience.

    As for the "why can't kids just be nicer to everyone" approach, no-one is buying it because those now pushing it as a solution are generally the same ones who for years have been complaining that kids need to harden up and that safe spaces and trigger warnings are liberal nonsense.
