    It's not skin color. It's sick demented individuals acting out their fantasy...Bastards. Why couldn't they seek help or do themselves in? If there is hell, then these shits belong in the club box.

    Working in municipal government is satisfying because my compadres are real people that care for each other. Been there, have been screwed by those above in my prior Township and subsequently stressed out. BUT......no time ever did I consider wasting people

    If you’re looking for comfort then thoughts and prayers are great I guess. If you’re looking for someone to make a change they are useless. If my kid was shot in school and some politician said thoughts and prayers it would not console me.

    Well if they went and changed every law to be exactly what you wanted tomorrow it wouldn't bring your kid back either. People can do both, support and let people know they are there for them if they need, and try to enact change. It’s not like they are mutually exclusive things.

    I bet if your kid was shot it would be extremely helpful to you for people to show they supported you, (no matter your feelings on prayer).

    Of course you go there. Stop it. The Majority of shooters are white males, like the guy in vegas. Jus stop it. Keavecrace out of this. Its about mental health and the ability of sick people to get guns. But, you guys want these kind of people to have guns.

    Doubt this guy was mentally ill, probably just a loser with nothing to lose after getting shit canned and he wanted revenge.

    Doesn't fit the autistic shooter profile.

    And then YOU go there with the leftist "white males are the majority"

    Which everyone has been pushing on both sides for years. Read yahoo articles on any type of shooting and invariably if it is a black guy all the comments are 13/90 (something about 13 percent of the population commits 90 percent of crimes or murders which I doubt is true but whatever)

    OR

    If it is a white guy all the comments are (oh look, another crazy white boy the real domestic terrorists)

    EVERY FUCKING TIME.

    Which is why every time this happens I'm praying that it isn't a white guy. Anything but a white guy. A white woman would even be fine.

    What I'd rather do is wake up 3 years from now and think hey I don't remember the last mass shooting.....

    Thoughts and prayers are obviously not doing jack shit so everyone needs to work together and figure out what we can do.

    Or we can just point fingers at each other.

    Facts are facts unless you've got a racist objective and then facts are something to be manipulated.

    Technically 72% of Americans are White. Of course, this includes White Hispanics. This is a fact that Maris ignores when he includes White Hispanics in his list of colored and people with Middle Eastern looking names terrorists. I wish he'd give some pertinent statistics but that wouldn't back up his objective.

    You're the one who said to leave race out of it and are now arguing that whites are the majority.

    I never said they weren't the majority, so your one word "bullshit" to describe my stance is the only bullshit between us.

    I didn't care enough to research crime statistics by race because it doesn't matter unless YOU think whites and blacks are inherently different.

    I think they're all people.

    I agree. There is a root cause to the violent shooters and it is not race.

    Money, schools and access to mental health help and shit like that.

    If our country was all white or all black and nothing else changed does anyone think all gun deaths would end? No way.

    People would still be marginalized and poor. They'd just all be the same skin tone.

    That doesn't even take into account my belief that toxins in our environment are part of the problem.

    I'm not arguing. I stated a fact. You seem to be arguing. I don't skin color makes people different. People are people.

    Again I was just stating a fact

    When a mass shooting occurs people of all colors and races get shot. Its not just black people shooting white people and white people shooting black people.
