Another shooting rocks the world

[The Green Barbarian]

Those are demographics of the city, questioning them is silly lol

I guess I just don't know why that even matters to anyone. Who concerns themselves with such useless information? Aren't we all just people? What difference does it make what their skin color is. Anyways...separate topic - would a gun ban have stopped this senseless tragedy (and no matter what the skin color of those killed, it would be a senseless tragedy)....

“We tried to protect our city,” she told The Washington Post. “It’s so tragic to see the legislation struck down, and days later, to have our city experience exactly what we were trying to prevent.”

Rachel Friend, a city council member, made a similar observation on Twitter, adding she was “heartsick and angry and mostly so, so sad.”

But the Colorado State Shooting Association, one of the plaintiffs that sued Boulder over the assault weapons ban, rejected that sentiment, arguing in a statement that “emotional sensationalism” about gun laws would cloud remembrance of the victims.

“There will be a time for the debate on gun laws. There will be a time for the discussion on motives. There will be a time for a conversation on how this could have been prevented,” the group said in a statement. “But today is not the time.”

Who concerns themselves with such useless information?

The people who question why are all victims were white.

He's right in the sense that Arabs are often white in complexion. Not sure they fit the white supremacist bill though.

He's right in the sense that Arabs are often white in completion. Not sure they fit the white supremacist bill though.

Shouldn't we be concerned about the fact that 10 people are dead? Not about the shade of skin color of the guy who did it? This is just nuts.

Since it appears the victims are white and the shooter is Muslim, will Biden, CNN and the rest of the left-leaning media jump all over this shooting as a hate crime?
They were quick to jump on the massage parlor shootings as a hate crime, even though the shooter quickly admitted he was not targeting asian women.

Anyone care to put odds on how Biden responds?

There is no political motive here to jump on this as there is no racial group that could be singled out for the victimhood politically correct story that Dems love. Biden won't be jumping on any planes for this one, as there is nothing here for the Dems to milk, and no racial category to cater to.

Watch our puppet jump on board as if he is the hero. It is not the gun it's the holder of it.

Shooter was/is a lunatic.
Too bad that Colorado does not have the death penalty.
Regardless of the man's name, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, he is an American and is now a monster that needs elimination.

Just watched Global news, Ya ya, I know, why, but the first 5 minutes was talking about racism, not one direct story or reasoning of starting the news with it, but then leads into this incident in Colorado.
Holy crap, can the media, we as people hear about some actual news based on the single incident with out catching a ride off it to promote Racism.
Now finding out that most of the killed were white. This is getting so sick and tiresome. 10 people killed and this national global news spends 5 minutes taking from the respect, honor this incident deserves, but nope, not a chance.
Society isn't getting better, we are getting worse.

Photographs of the 10 people killed by suspect Ahmad al-Issa in #Boulder, Colo. I was told a few days ago that the race of victims in shootings matter even if there is no evidence of race playing a role in the attack.

Boulder is 79.8% Caucasian. It kinda stands to reason if you shoot up a store, the majority of people in it will be Caucasian.

As a progressive womyn. I guess you never noticed that 6 of the 10 victims are womyn? Where's the out rage? Oh they're white....who cares!

[monilynno]

Yes 79% white, so lets ignore he was a radical islamist Trump hating ISIS supporter.

Please stop saying womyn, it's weird. And this happened at a grocery, so again, it stands to reason there would be more women present. Look, just some shootings are racially motivated doesn't mean they all are. Every situation is individual.
