No. But the school shooters seem remarkably white.

Look, I can't be responsible for people who are "lost and feeling adrift". These discussions are getting ridiculous, and bordering on asinine.


Wow you people really don’t get it. Lost and adrift? Absolutely ignorant.

No, you can't. Which is why we need gun control.



I'll control my guns. Don't make me responsible for another person's bad actions. I do not inherit their guilt.

So when there is a "terrorist" attack by a Muslim, do you not make comments because the discussions about them are "getting ridiculous, and bordering on asinine."? Somehow, I doubt it.


Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people; or fear to achieve a financial, political, religious or ideological aim.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism

I don't believe a school shooter (yet) is setting out to do that. They're setting out for notoriety or they're just plain insane. They may write rantings, but are they political? Not that I can remember. Are they grouped together and acting in concert, one after another? Not that I can remember.

Suicide bombers blow themselves up due to poverty? Does Allahu Akbar mean “I’m so poor”?

You are right. When you read about suicide bombers and the like, it made sick type of sense. These were people who were so poor that blowing themselves up was the only way they could actually make sure their families were taken care of. ISIS is way scarier. These are middle class disaffected youth with all the promise that a western middle class upbringing can offer that are being radicalized. Sure looks like there is a similar phenomenon going on with angry white youth getting radicalized.

You know, the problems are obvious for those of us that lived it. I could explain it and tell my story but this thread is probably a troll and I doubt anyone cares.

How about you lefties stop drowning everyone in lawyers so no one will do anything for fear of "offending" someone and getting sued.

See something, say nothing.
