Sorry OP, it's a Syrian Immigrant. Just admit you got it wrong instead of coming up with bullshit excuses.
Ok. I am processing this. It is not politically correct to immediately assume that he is a muslim just because he just carried out a terrorist attack. Even though he is. But it is okay to go ahead and assume that he is a white even though he is not. Once again, the LED light on my forehead is flickering between yellow and red. Next thing you know someone will be arguing that he is a magatard, trump supporter - even though he is not- but the script says he should be.
Oh yeah, this guy is "MAGA", you got that wrong OP. There are multiple tweets showing the Syrian Immigrant Shooter hates Trump. Definitely not "MAGA", so your thread title is incorrect.
This thread went down the toilet very fast. Don't worry...there will most likely be another mass shooting in the U.S. very soon via an AR-15 or the like...designed to kill a lot of people. Hopefully the thread will concentrate on the victims and not the murderer. Actually, I'm just glad dead kids weren't part of this tragedy. wrbtrader
There have been 2 highly public US mass shootings in less than a week, a trend previously unseen during the pandemic https://www.businessinsider.com/there-been-two-mass-shootings-in-less-than-week-2021-3 The US has had two highly public mass shootings within a week of each other. The most recent large-scale shooting had occurred a year ago, before the pandemic took hold. Experts said the focus on the pandemic left little talk on mass shootings to inspire gunmen. Less than a week before authorities say 10 people were killed by a gunman at a Colorado supermarket, eight people were fatally shot at three Atlanta-area spas. On Monday, an injured suspect was taken into custody in connection to the shooting at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. Last Tuesday, a 21-year-old man was accused of killing four people at Young's Asian Massage in Acworth, Georgia, before heading to Gold Spa and the Aromatherapy Spa in Atlanta, where another four people were killed. Six of the eight victims in the Georgia attacks were women of Asian descent. Before those shootings, the US hadn't seen a highly public mass shooting since March 2020, when a man killed four people at a gas station in Missouri, experts at The Violence Project, which tracks mass shootings, told the Associated Press in December. Experts note that shootings like the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, which left 17 people dead in Parkland, Florida, or the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, which killed at least 50 people and injured 200 more, have been less common during the coronavirus pandemic. But while such shootings significantly decreased, the Gun Violence Archive found that lesser-known mass shootings actually significantly increased. In 2020, the archive recorded 611 mass shootings, which it defines as any attack in which at least four people are shot by one person. In most of those instances, the perpetrator is thought to have known the victims. The criminologist James Alan Fox told the AP he was hopeful that the lull of mass public shootings during lockdowns would help slow down a cycle in which high-profile shootings actually inspire others to act out. Fox also told the AP that mass shootings were often carried out by people who feel victimized and that the widespread suffering of the pandemic might have made those people feel less isolated relative to others. The AP reported analysis by experts that the more we talk about mass killings, the more likely it is for a gunman to become interested in perpetrating one. Jillian Peterson, an associate professor of criminal justice at Hamline University, told The New York Times that the focus on the pandemic most likely meant less talk of mass shootings that might inspire gunmen. "There had been a hope that maybe we broke the cycle and maybe we won't return," Peterson told The Times after the Georgia attacks. "Now that it's back, a number of scholars are really concerned."
Trump won campaigning on banning Syrians from the country "until we figure out what the hell is going on".
Something that never gets discussed in these incidents are the police. You all May remember the police officer that didn’t engage the shooter at the Majorie Stone High School shooting in Florida. He was fired, called a coward and lost his pension. Maybe even faced some kind of legal problems too, I can’t recall. Fast forward to this shooting, I wonder how much that Florida incident impacted this officer to engage a shooter he was out-gunned with and was covered in body armor. It begs the question are we forcing police officers into situations they cannot win because they have a family and want to ensure they don’t lose their livelihood?
Not to mention, remember when Trump was called "racist" for banning travel to Muslim countries? If Muslims are white now, how could that have been?
