It is terrible. Waking up to this was just unspeakable especially the reported 28 dead. It also wasn't surprising that a American was behind it.
Yeah, this is definitely the time to be hating and stereotyping someone for their nationality.
Well, it hasn't been a week since our last mass public shooting, and wasn't a month until the one before that, and a couple months since the temple and theater shootings. I don't see how now isn't the time to examine wtf is wrong here. If we have to continue waiting a respectful period after mass shootings to talk about possible root causes, I doubt we'll ever be allowed to talk about it. It's always too soon after the last one.
Well, he said it as if he shot them because of his nationality. These kinds of shooters are called Avenger Killers and they usually try to top the last big shooting and even idolize those who came before them.
So in a way it's a snowball effect. The psychology of it is depressing. All I'm saying is that basing it off nationality is an immature reaction. That's like saying after a bank robbery, "Oh, of course a black man is responsible for that terrible robbery."
Pretty barbaric if you ask me.
The problem is, it is accurate. Anywhere else have mass media frenzied coverage of mass public shootings more than once a month for the last few years? We shouldn't be offended at the stereotype when it's true, we should be trying to figure out how to make it untrue rather than worrying someone bothered to point it out.
