Muslim shooter = entire religion guilty

Black shooter = entire race guilty

White shooter = mentally troubled lone wolf

"I just heard the guy described as a "lone wolf."

How the fuck do they know this at this point? Whenever the terrorist is a white guy on the far right, the media goes out of their way to try to portray his actions as completely unmotivated and the singular actions of a mad man."
