We either go all out or do nothing at all.

Can't just do it once. We have to binge or abstain.


... "we" being young white males?

I said overwhelming majority, not "every single case ever"

See for yourself, go do some research.

The question still stands, why are young white males the main perpetrators of such massacres?


I know the stats, and in my opinion There haven't been enough "Mass Shootings" to declare that white males have some inert predisposition to commit these events.
In that case you're either thick or willfully ignorant. It's a fact that the overwhelming majority of these are committed by white males.

At least 2 a year for the past 30 years not enough data for you?


As is right now whites have did the majority of these shootings, But I can go out on a limb here and say that in countries where the population is not white then most likely the majority of the people committing mass shootings won't be white.

All I'm saying is I don't believe that any one race has an inert predisposition for violence, Like I said in my comment above

Okay either prove that the number of young white males is in fact proportionate to population, or get out of this thread.

I'm sick of this.

This is a forum to post anything you want, I am posting my opinion, I never claimed anything as fact.

Calm down man, You're not providing any evidence other then the fact that the majority of mass shooters have been white.

When you can prove to me that whites are in fact more likely to commit mass shootings other then a handful of events in a largely white country then maybe I'll change my mind.

Until then calm down and stop getting angry at anyone who doesnt share your opinion.

So the argument is that they don't have a good family structure and fathers to raise them. This is a lot more plausible than the non-sense "it's because they're poor" that is usually spouted. This is a problem that only they can solve on their own. 72.5% of blacks are born out of wedlock. Scary stat.

The thread is off the rails, and sadly another opportunity for an honest discussion has been lost.

Another failure to idiocy.

I'd like to hear how this thread is racist against anyone. It is an undeniable fact that young black males are the overwhelming perpetrators of non-rampage shootings. It's a fact.

When we can stop being such idiots about this we can finally start talking about why and do something about it.

Very funny. Trying to get me banned?

I hope if a mod looks at what you posted, and that my original post has no edits, they will ban you as well.

  • 12.15.2012 4:54 PM PDT

Half of the time I'm dead serious.
The other half not so much.

So exactly what is the implication of this fact? I don't think anyone can accurately state why most of the shooters happen to be white without concrete, scientific evidence. Generalizations, maybe, but nothing solid. If you were wondering about ways to assess and possibly prevent massacres from happening in the future, then that seems like a much bigger topic for just an internet forum.

The conversation has to start somewhere. And does everything have to actually do something? We talk about stuff here. Sometimes its serious, other times not.

You seem to think that this place serves a purpose, and that you can dictate it.

If your original post wasn't inherently racist, then why would changing it to reflect another truth make it ban worthy? I see nothing worth banning if your original post was indeed non-racially motivated.

Whoah whoah I'm not trying to get under anybody's skin here. I was just offering my insight about the situation, not saying what I said was fact. And true, these things need to be addressed, but it seemed that you were getting overly frustrated by people's reactions on a simple internet forum. Really, it isn't that big of a deal, and it always makes me feel sad when people fight over the internet.

What pisses me off is that OP tried to start a conversation on why a certain group suddenly starts to snap at a greater rate than before. If you look at rampage style shootings, you will see that the perpetrators all had similar characteristics. They were white males, aged 16 to 26, intelligent, isolated, and alienated. All but two shooting rampages in the US share this commonality.

Look it up for yourselves.

So, why are they snapping? We, as a society, need to have this conversation. Previous to 1990, this rarely happened. We have already over a dozen this year alone. Something changed in our society, and it should be examined, if anything to prevent this from happening again.

So we can have counter productive gun arguments, even blame video games or TV. But we aren't getting to the root cause.
