Funny how someone isn't as hostile to this thread than they were with the other one. Funny how ideology results in double standards.

Well it's not like we can't let people know there isn't a problem in the country. On the other hand this might inspire copycats ...so what are we supposed to do?

I don't think there's anyone left in the world that doesn't know about America's endemic violence. What is there left for a copycat to learn?

Seeing reports that the suspect is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa.

No motive yet. He was born in Syria, but went to highschool in the US.

Okay, I see. Gonna go on the limb here and say it's Islamic terrorism. According to old FB post he had criticized Islamophobia and was suspended from school for fighting someone who used a slur against him.

Nah. His brother has said he was neither religious nor political. He was, however, bullied a lot at school and extremely paranoid. Most likely just another case of someone who shouldn't have been able to access firearms.

Currently, Twitter is desparately trying to claim that Arabs are actually white people.

Instead of, you know... Redacting statements made earlier about how the Boulder shooting was another example of a white person going on a killing spree.

I'm not sure what's worse, the fact mass shootings happen regularly in the USA, the fact they're thought of as 'just another day in America', any serious discussions about solutions haven't led to any solutions, or that this doesn't spark hundreds of consecutive days of protest. :unsure:

The only solution is a fundemental restructuring of American society and culture. Something about living in the United States causes some people to lash out and attack others en masse, regardless of the race or national origin of the perpetrator.

Or it could just be that the types of people who will lash out and attack others en masse are capable of doing so in America when they wouldn't be able to in other countries.

Mass killings aren’t something that doesn’t happen outside the US. They just use different tools.
