Remember the MAGA Bomber?
I remember the Islamist who ran over near 200 people in Nice, France. Do you remember him? #letsbantrucks
You make a good point though: other things also happen sometimes.
Your comment accidentally disproved your own argument lmao.
Where is the outrage in brownsville ???????? When 12 People Are Shot in Your Neighborhood, and America Shrugs
https://www.thetrace.org/2019/08/brownsville-brooklyn-shooting/
Nowadays, the media prefers to focus on suspects who are of a particular race like the ones in TX and Ohio.
Yes Stacy just like the news report I just watched on channel 2 looking for 3 black guys in Washington Heights who robbed somebody getting out of an Uber, a bulletin looking for a black woman in a red wig and black man concerning a shooting involving a parking spot in the Bronx and a black guy aiming a gun at woman in Jamaica Queens and pulling the trigger of the gun only It jammed. Let us guess you’re a Fox News viewer.
“As The New York Times has calculated, this kind of mass violence visits communities across America with frightening regularity. Most often, the numbers show, it occurs in neighborhoods like Brownsville — mostly poor, mostly black — and struggles to attract attention outside of them. “
Thanks for agreeing that the vast majority of mass shooters are white
Good point: the news reports on newsworthy stories
I hope rain is not in the forecast. They might cry about getting wet and cancel it.
Does this include crimes committed by the police? Probably not, right?
ohbahma trained you well little boi……. Mass shootings from last week: At least 17 mass shootings by the fellas. two by white guys. Three by Hispanics. https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1005512196749352960
Are you gullible enough to read that?
Mass shootings from white guys:
* A shooting in a historic district of Dayton, Ohio, with nine people killed
* A shooting at Walmart in El Paso, Texas, with 22 people killed, the deadliest shooting of the year.
* A shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, with three people killed.
Read a newspaper and see who is committing all the grand larcenys, rapes and homicides on a daily basis.
Almost all mass shootings were done by white males; I guess we can talk about something completely different though.
