In reply to the discussion: Another reason for mass shootings [View all]StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)A person shooting three people with a pistol at their office after they got fired or killing their girlfriend and her friend in a domestic violence incident isn't the same as someone writing "manifestos" supporting white supremacy and screeching about taking their country back from "others," arming up with a few assault weapons, strapping on body armour and going to a public place and mowing people down by the dozens.
The first category clearly includes people who "snapped." The second group didn't "snap" from "stress." They are racists on a mission - a mission they carefully thought out and exectuted, the very opposite of "just snapping."
Why not calculate the proportions of black and brown people in that latter category so your "math" actually compares like situations and is relevant to the discussion? Could it be because lumping them all together allows you to obfuscate and make excuses for the inexcusable?
As I said, it's not math. It's bs.
