He looks black? Are you serious? Wow. People reaching these days. It's clear the guy has lighter skin. White people I guess just can't admit they also commit murders and crimes as well.
They are the world's deadliest beings. They kill people, plants, animals, the environment, etc. Nothing is safe from their proclivity for murder! It can be proven with their own detailed facts and figures.
The above list list simply the tip of the iceberg.
He says it was revenge for the shootings in Charleston, and he accused the ones he shot of "racial slights".
This has to be defined as a hate crime, the guy specifically targeted these people because of their race, because of his anger about Charleston, eitherway the symbolism is important. Whether black, white, whatever the case might, if you target people based on their race, the appropriate charge needs to be used.
I dont own a gun, but I also follow facts and evidence over nonsense. If gun control actually prevented crimes and death then I might actually support it. But all it does is deprive people of a right and a chance to defend themselves for no good reason. Lately, it is also hurting mental health care because there is a push to label everyone who ever uses mental health services as "mentally ill" and send their information to the FBI.
This was not a police shooting. So what difference does it make if the shooter was Black or White? It only makes a difference to the media, the politicians and the activist groups. I doubt if the families of the victims care what he looked like.
Is the shooter dead? If so, does it matter if this was a "hate crime" since that's only a legal term to determine the charge and penalty.
That's what I was trying to say. I mean, what could someone have done to prevent this except ban guns altogether, and then they'd be sold illegally anyway.
People who have followed my posts for years might be surprised, since I've always been a Democrat and support gun control. However, if someone is determined to commit a crime, he'll find a way. Maybe without a gun, he would have built a bomb which isn't that hard to do. You don't have to be a chemical engineer to make a Molotov cocktail and toss it into a crowd causing serious injury.
That's my issue with gun control, the fact the all those guns are still out there waiting for a black market. That black market would make the Prohibition era look like child's play. We have a serious gun culture here that's not going to go away if the government took everyone's guns away. In fact, that would probably inspire a revolution.
Drama queen much? Incidents like these get a lot of coverage but are far more rare then random gangbangers killing each other.
Didnt a wacky nut just pull out an AK on a train in France? Crazy people are everywhere, no single nation has a monopoly on them.
America, is believe it or not, is one of the most violent countries in the world. Everyone knows that!
