It wouldn't be useful.

We're not talking everyday spur of the moment crime, we're talking rare incidents all over the country.

I don't even see how you "profile" mass shooters.

One of the most annoying quotes ever
But true all the same. Nobody laments the "cultural pathology" endemic to suburban white communities. Misdeeds committed by whites are individualized and never explained in terms of race or culture. The point the author of the article was trying to make was that this kind of interpretation and analysis should also apply to crime stories wherein the perpetrator is non-white.

Making an evaluation with these limited figures is absurd.

See, Whites are becoming just like minorities. Now we need some leaders and form the "White community".

CNN's Don Lemon discusses the possibility of profiling white men in an attempt to prevent gun violence and decrease the amount of mass shootings.
That worked real well with the DC Sniper case

So CNN does favor racial profiling as long as it's not blacks, Hispanics, or Muslims being profiled? Good to know. So how would they classify the Fort Hood shooter and the DC Sniper?

I thought that racial profiling was supposedly "racist".

Now the loony left is in support of doing it because it will target white people?

the whole thing is a farce because there is simply not enough data to make any aprox whatsoever.....Example...if it was 50-50 Black White population and there were 20 events ...5 Black and 15 white...it would mean nothing against the presumption of 50/50 with those figures and the population The proper estimation out of this would be CNN is the perfect place for a card game because they are stupid. They really are showing themselves to be very very dumb. You need allot of numbers to show a measurable influence.

Like I said before, if his name was Muhammad instead of Lanza he would've been labeled a terrorist and nobody would've batted an eye..
