[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the Gun Violence Archive, this was only the 25th (by my quick count) mass shooting (defined as 4 or more people getting injured or killed) so far in November in the US. So, completely normal in Murica, except this one may be a hate crime.

Is every shooting at a gay nightclub automatically a “hate crime”, or are you aware of any mitigating circumstances that might make it so?[/quote]

I said "this one MAY be a hate crime" because the club itself said that. But so sharp of you to quickly pounce on that. You can be assured that investigators will consider the possibility that it is a hate crime, among other possibilities.

There will be a press conference at 4:00 CET today so let's see what the authorities say. [/quote]

If it is done by someone with extreme right wing views, it is a hate crime.

If, like the pulse nightclub attack, it is done by someone with extremist Islamist views, it is "terrorism" and not a hate crime.

If it is done by someone with no ostensible political beliefs, it is random, senseless violence. [/quote]
