C'mon now.
Mass shootings while bad are not the large driver of the US homicide rate.

Most murders are committed by people that are non-white. You try to change direction faster than a politician.

You think I don't know that in the modern history of any other countries, that I don't know shootings have occurred elsewhere? Of course I know they happen. Are tou denything the rate in the USA isn't insane by comparison?

So yea I'm more pissed that it was a Black guy who killed 2 Whites....I'm a flawed tribalistic human like everyone else is.....
Please, speak for yourself.

I don't have selective outrage, and feel more or less for a victim based on the race of the murderer.

News is still breaking but it's been reported that the reporter and cameraman have died.
I just saw that the shooter killed himself. Sad story...

That's not what you originally posted, you said "This happens nowhere else in the developed world" which contradicts your current comment lol
