Reason 1: I realized that when stress is caused by other people, it's not caused by the 'other', but by people who look like me.

As I always say: We do have stressed out and white people afraid of immigrants and minorities... yet they almost never seem to notice their problems are caused by white people just like them... only richer and more connected.

Reason 2: Murder is wrong.

This man lived in a McMansion, OK, he had enough money to buy an AR-15.

I've gone to bed hungry, I have unpaid bills, my boss is a bipolar pixie ninja, and I've watched several dreams of mine get smashed to pieces in the past year.

I still believe murder is wrong.

"Something's wrong in my life, I got to KILL EVERYBODY!" is a result of systemic racism and sexism and a militarized culture.

If stress is the problem, why aren't black and brown people "snapping" like this? StarfishSaver Aug 2019 #4

Actually, they are, just in a smaller ratio. X_Digger Aug 2019 #11

Math is math, but your argument isn't math. It's just a sorry attempt at diversion StarfishSaver Aug 2019 #23

Here are the numbers, since you don't seem inclined to do them yourself, even with the link.. X_Digger Aug 2019 #24

Why don't you break it down by numbers of victims and types of shootings StarfishSaver Aug 2019 #25

Yes, lets narrow the criteria to get the result set you want. X_Digger Aug 2019 #28

+1. I've snapped before, I've thrown an object or yelled at someone ck4829 Aug 2019 #13

These guys are not snapping. They are planning this shit, often elaborately. madinmaryland Aug 2019 #15

Every now and then, someone "snaps" and kills one, two, three, sometimes 5 people StarfishSaver Aug 2019 #21
