17. Do you think they would withhold his name if he was brown and named Mohammed?

He's a nice white guy and probably a district chairman for Trump, ergo "we won't make him a celebrity." Bull. In particular, I want to know about his social media history to learn if our esteemed Idiot-In-Chief is what inspired him. The only thing causing mass killings at this point is the hatred ginned up by Trump, his acolytes and the entire reich wing media machine that profits off it. Killing is now an okay thing to do if you're an angry white guy who can't imagine why he doesn't earn 7 figures as CEO of whatever business he works at. Doesn't matter he isn't interested in being educated - he's entitled because Don loves trucks (in this instance). I'm sick of it. Totally fucking sick of it. I can go out and by a gun easier than I can buy a car and that's just not right. And I've even had training and know how to shoot! Most of them can't be bothered. And responsibility? Like maybe requiring gun owners to carry insurance besides being trained? Forget about it!
