In reply to the discussion: Angry White American Man [View all]Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)6. A very sad and ugly thing he did
seems to have had a thing against religion and parking spots. Yes, he appeared to have a CCW license and used that firearm to murder three people. That does not change the fact that CCW holders on the whole are much more law abiding than the general public. I hope he goes to jail for a very long time. It also does not take into account that alcohol and distracted driving kill many more innocent people.
Go ahead and write your song but also think about writing a song for this mother and officer who were also was killed with a deadly weapon. Of course there is no outrage for them, is there?
Theres a case out of Los Angeles that Crime Feed is tracking and it involves a 43-year-old mother who was fatally stabbed to death during a dispute over a parking spot.
The attack occurred reportedly the week before last, but authorities announced Thursday that two people a man and a woman would be charged with murder.
According to a Whittier Police department press release, officers were called around 9:30 p.m. to the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet for a fight in the parking lot. When responding officers arrived, they found the victim, Elizabeth Yanez, on the ground. The police press release said she had been stabbed multiple times in her back and neck and officers immediately began to administer medical aide. Unfortunately, the victim later died at UCI Medical Center.

Or this other one killed with another deadly weapon
Police there say Brian Stevensen, an off-duty Baltimore police detective, got into an argument with another man over a parking space. The argument ended when the man, Sian James, allegedly struck Stevensen on the head with a chunk of concrete, killing him.
It's hard to believe that someone would take someone's life over something as trivial as a dispute over a parking space. But that's what road rage is all about

An added stanza about angry white RACIST man with many guns, and cable news, would complete the picture.

Cross-posting in both groups seems appropriate, but I bet you'll take some heat for it here

MLK also had armed body guards. Would you have had him arrested if he entered your class?

Yeah. Those militant atheists sure do get out of hand from time to time.
