Yes...

If you are Black, you are a terrorist.
White Mass shooters are considered good people gone crazy.

If you're brown you're considered a terrorist, if you're black you're labelled as a thug.

Just a sidenote to this. Mother Jones doesn't consider mass shootings like this with many injuries and only one fatality to be mass shootings. They used "indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker" as their criteria and excluded robberies, gang violence and domestic situations.

Yeah, I should have been more clear about that. If they included gang violence and other shootings without mass casualties the numbers wouldn't be nearly the same. It would have also affected their findings about the percentage of people who committed mass atrocities who suffered from a mental illness.

Holy shit, that's horrible. I actually lived around that area about a dozen years ago.

What a terrible story I can’t imagine going to a birthday party and having it end like that. Condolences to everyone involved.

 

[Tom Nook]

Awful.

 

[Maiorum]

Damn, that's a 5-10 minute walk from where I live. That's crazy.

 

[Mattakuevan]

Christ, thats right next to where I work.

My condolences to the vicims.

 

[roflwaffles]

I went to college a few blocks away and had a ton of friends who used to live in this complex. This hits too close.

"Relaxing and shooting people?"
This guy is insane.
And yes I think ISIS fighters who have been brainwashed into driving their cars into crowds are also insane. They all have something wrong mentally that we aren't properly addressing.

It's so bizarre that he was just posted up in a beach chair. One of the weirdest​ mass shooting details I've ever heard.

How is this not a front page story on the national news?

If it were a brown or black man, it would be.

 

[SapientWolf]

This is absolutely ridiculous and should be national news.

It's one of the top national news stories in my feeds.
