Why do we think there is so much difference between these 2 events? Why are the Media and the Politicians all about one event and totally ignoring the other event?
Most articles show a picture of the 17 year old shooter. There is no reason to mention his race. Here’s the NYT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/31/u...-shooting.html

At this point there seems to be many differences between the two shootings.

There was a dispute amongst some attendees at the Mobile football game. The 17 year old pulled a handgun to resolve the dispute. Police are speculating he targeted opponents and others were in the way.

The Midland- Odessa shooter randomly shot people in cars and on the street from a moving vehicle, then hijacked a mail truck and continued.

The identity of the shooter has not been disclosed beyond that it’s a white male in his 30’s.
Once his identity is disclosed, it’s likely a picture will be released.

White refers to skin color, not ethnicity.

Sounds like some here hope the shooter was Hispanic or perhaps of the Muslim faith to validate their own perceptions.

We have a name for the second shooter and a mug shot-- the 17 year old kid.

So the press reports all they know so far is the victim is a 30 year old white man....the 17 year old kid's name is out there and we can see he is black.

Again, the "news" has a million times been found to be liars and frauds with an agenda. The "only white males are terrorists" filth they peddle today in itself is a filthy and disgusting, divisive lie. That alone proves they are LIARS. Hence they have earned the title of "Fake News".


So we are supposed to believe them that the shooter is "white"? Why? Didn't they say George Zimmerman was "white"? Didn't they say the MAGA "bomber" was "white"?


And I will post it again, just to refresh your memory:

Since there is no Hispanic category in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports and approximately 93 percent of Hispanics identify themselves, or are identified by law enforcement officers, as white, most arrests of Hispanics are added to white violent crime rates.

So even if the perpetrator is a Latino, they might still be labeling him "white".

You want to know who's really okay with mass shootings? The deep state.
But that Mobile football game shooting did completely fly under the radar. Naturally.

Used to be that some here who identify as Texans claimed a ( spectacular) mass shooting could not happen in Texas given Open Carry.

Most businesses with a gun free zone sticker on their front door do not scan or search those who enter. The only consequence of carrying is one MIGHT be asked to leave IF the carry is detected.

I'm very curious to see what the motives are for this attack. And whether that will change the level of outrage we see from both sides.
"Damn. What in the hell is going on in this country? " Not trying to divert attention from this shooting, but, just looking at the perspective!

"5 killed, 9 others wounded in shootings overnight Saturday" in Chicago, and NO thread about IT, no national news about it. This happens over and over just about EVERY weekend and NO threads nor national coverage.

We can guess WHY!

In addition these "Mass Shootings" that the Media promotes pale in comparison to the number of Black on Black inner city murders that occur daily. That and SUICIDES are where what the Democrats and Media call "Gun Violence" make up the vast majority of the statistics they use to disarm only the law abiding.

You want to live in a Free Society? You already suck up the 35,000 auto deaths a year, so suck up the 2,000 legitimate homicides where people use a gun.

There are tons of Latinos in Odessa (Texas in general) so until you provide me above info, I will reserve my assignment of race to the perpetrator.


Read it and weep, chap:

Why so sensitive about this? Do you think white people don't commit violent crimes? Is it only the bailiwick of people of color or brown people?

Let's face facts here.... domestic terrorism and mass shootings are more of a problem than foreigners. While not solely white, right wing nationalists seem to be a growing threat in this country.

Yes. This morning the pathological liar Chuck Todd said this month alone there were 51 homicides from mass shootings. Wanna bet the majority of those were committed in black communities?
