Percentage wise whites commit mass shootings in roughly the same percentage as the population.

Non hispanic whites commit 65% of the shootings and blacks commit 19%.
Population% non hispanic whites ~63% blacks ~12%

"This statistic shows the number of mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and August 31, 2019, by race and ethnicity of the shooter(s). "

I did a google search using these words 20 people attack couple in Des Moines skywalk black hispanic.

The first result says
"A Des Moines man and his girlfriend told police on Saturday night they were ... group of about 20 black and Hispanic juveniles that brutally attacked the man, ... “Our officers have been shoved down the stairs by these people."

But when you go to the link https://whotv.com/2019/10/14/des-moi...ywalk-assault/ it doesn't use any words to describe the attackers.

The video in the link uses the words black and hispanic but it's no where in the article.
very interesting. they initially used ‘black and hispanic’ so it still comes up in a search, but the story itself was quickly edited to exclude those terms

Yes let’s be honest. Whites do not have the highest rates of mass murder, murder, serial murder, rape, child abuse, assault. Whites in the U.S. underrepresent when it comes to any of these violent crimes. USDOJ, FBISTATS.

All filmed on their smart phones no doubt .
In fact it is obvious that more and more the filming IS the motivation for the violence .
When will the same crowd constantly shouting for the banning of guns to those showing potential for violence
demand the banning of cell phones for those who film and promote violence , rape , child rape ?
Just like a felon caught with a gun .

The video here states there were about 20 black and Hispanic males and that they've caused trouble before:
