Why won't people address the massage shootings as the mental health issue rather than racism?

Are the people who called the Atlanta shooting on this thread a hate crime going to call the Colorado shooting a hate crime?

The guy's family says he has been having paranoid delusions. I doubt hate crime will factor into this.

Wait. Now it's okay to talk about the perpetrator's mental health and this does not erase the voice of the victims?

What was the race of the victims and was there any evidence of racial animosity from this guy?

And the guy actually posted in FB that he needs a girlfriend. So this might be a raging hormone issue.

It's as if you can't comprehend that unrelated crimes have different motivations and fact patterns.

Dumb or obtuse? I can't decide.

Seems like the only thing missing now is that the sexual addiction treatment

No. Paying very close attention to the reasons I was given for why it was racist and ignorant to even discuss this issue a few days ago. I've already decided you are truly clueless because you don't seem aware of your own narrative and how it changes to fit your preconceived notions. You can insult me again if you want, I don't care. It's your narrative, not mine.

Not my point. My point is that you've already bought a certain narrative hours into a shooting that is not yet well supported by any known facts. Previous shootings of all types have had a similar dynamic. The narrative changes, but not the ease with which people accept them and their anger at those who disagree, even slightly, with that narrative.

This is a very meta comment intended to cause you to think. I have no answers.

oh. you already know different motivations and fact patterns in these cases? That's amazing. I bet you marked those SAT bubbles in HS randomly and somehow scored 800.

DP. Good point. Earlier in this thread, regarding the Atlanta incident, someone claimed facts didn't matter in response to someone else who thought we needed more facts about motivations. I'm just noting again how a preferred narrative quickly dispenses with the needs for facts in one case and just as quickly asserts they are already known in another.

The CO killer got his gun 6 days before his shooting spree. That would have been last Tuesday - just 1 day after Georgia. With people eager to minimizing Georgia victims, the timeline is very suspicious. All it took was one mentally deranged person for another tragedy.

His name is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. Doubt he's a white supremacist.

Middle easterners are considered caucasians.

And how many white supremacists think that? What do you think those white supremacists want to do with a guy like this and everyone else with a similar name?

Middle easterners can be white supremacists. Jason Reza Jorjani. He’s in the same league with Spencer and his friends.

"Can be" and "often are" are two different things. The leader of the Proud Boys is black.

White on white crime can’t be racial.

If race really is a social construct then a racial crime is whatever you say is a racial crime. Otherwise you are saying racial differences are real, which is often considered racist.

For many, it is a social construct when it is convenient (alleged police profiling) and real when it is convenient (higher impact of disease among blacks).

Whatever it is, there are mentally challenged people in every community. And every community has grocery stores. The CO grocery store could have been any grocery store anywhere in the US. So, stop feeding these people with victim blaming and victim shaming.

Or - more effectively - let's regulate guns a little more tightly so a schizo young man can't buy an offensive military-grade weapon and mow down innocent people only 6 days later

Mandatory 30-day waiting periods, training, licensing, mental health evaluations, and family-enabled red flag warnings would've saved the lives of 10 people.

But instead you suggest a farcical remedy - "[stop] victim blaming and victim shaming" - that does bupkis for innocent people.

Was the CO gun or rifle legally purchased? They are still investigation. Only law abiding people will follow the law. Criminals have their own ways.

What's an offensive military-grade weapon? Answer: something civilians cannot legally buy.
