[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it IS racism.[/quote]

When EVERYTHING is racism, nothing is racism.

Even law enforcement have said there is not indication that this was race-motivated.  The shooter had frequented these places in the past.  [/quote]

Because law enforcement is repeating WHAT THE SHOOTER TOLD THEM. That's literally where they are getting this from. Not from interviewing witnesses, not from interviewing people that knew the guy, not from scrubbing his social media (including possible anon accounts), not from gathering and examining physical evidence from the shooter's home. It's just because he said so.

I'm not saying they are going to find evidence this was racially based, [b]but there's no way they can say "it doesn't appear to be" right now.[/b][/quote]

The responsible thing for the police and the FBI to say is that we are investigating the possibility of a racially motivated crime. Full stop. Instead, these white men publicly announce that "it doesn't appear" to be racially motivated simply because the dude who looks like them said so and they will take him at his word. Despite his having murdered eight people. Because his word is so reliable and trustworthy and he has nothing to hide.[/quote]
