Anyone got a police pic of this asshole?He did, it was posted online. He talked about the Hispanic invasion of Texas and he expressed the belief that white people would soon be ethnically replaced. He drove over 600 miles to kill those people and he thought that he would probably be killed while doing so but he's a young white dude so THAT didn't happen. It was reported that he told investigators that he was trying to shoot as many Mexicans as possible.
So he came to kill as many Mexicans as possible and as a result he 20 people and only 15% were Mexican? So he is racist, crazy and incompetent?

Who the heck are you talking to now? Is this stream of consciousness?
I find it hard to believe that you don't know what Ducess is talking about.
I find it hard to believe that you don't see the discussions in this country that point to a supposed fear of anyone that is not white-the fear of Mexico, the fear of Muslims etc etc
yet look at who is doing the majority of these mass shootings.
It ain't women!
I can't believe you are playing dumb as if you don't know what Duchess is talking about FGuy.
Yes men have usually been the shooters. But then that has about nothing to do with anything. The average man on the street is no more likely to pick up a gun and start blasting than the average female. Now the crazy person on the street, released from prison, profiled at work, or written up at school is a WHOLE nother story.
I get what you are saying. I really do. Yes, anyone is capable of picking up a gun and shooting people-no matter who they are. Sure.
What worries me about your rhetoric is I feel it is failing to look at the actual data, the patterns, the facts. When those are dismissed we could fail to find a solution to this problem. Please be open minded.
And you are right-quite often these shooters have been profiled at their workplace, school, even in their families.
If we fail to look at the patterns and similarities then we may fail to find a solution to this growing problem.
