So if they don't speak of a racist attack why wonder how the headline would have been different in the shooter was white?

How would the headline have been different aside from to mention colour?



See a few posts back.

This 'Gun Madness' will not stop; bad guys will find a way to get guns. A few ways to reduce the impact of these events are to strengthen the mental health systems, allow people to have and carry firearms to defend themselves, and not defund the police, but rather increase their budget and allowing them to prosecute criminals.


What do think it will happen if everyone or every other person in New York carries a gun with them when they go out or go to work and when they do their every day business.
I would feel safe, knowing any potential shooter will be stopped very fast.


If more people or let's say the majority have guns then it's also most likely you can receive s bullet out of nowhere. The chances increase dramatically and before you know it you could be shot or even die.

We here have learned to read between the media lines to get to the facts.

A very common problem: If the crime is committed by a republican, the party is named over and over in the article and the headline. If its a democrat, you have to sus that out of the report.
If the crime is committed by a minority, same.

It's just the way it is.

So what are the facts?

And what does the person's political affiliations have to do with the sad acts of depravity he committed?

This has nothing to do with politics or race but about murder.

And why anyone would choose to make it so is quite frankly beyond me.

Well if someone is shooting at you from a scooter i tend to agree you should be able to shoot back.

But again i simply don't see how this is about race or politics.

Because the media here is a part of the forces that are manipulating us. Pretty obvious to everyone here.

What is the media like there? Honest and balanced? LMAO

Pretty obvious this has nothing to do with race or politics also.

And how are the media manipulating the situation?

By the looks of things the man's nuts, and it might turn out to be just as simple as that

Let it go.

It's clear you don't experience the same perception of the media and dont live in the same culture.

Do you have more info on that proposal in CA? With AA being shot down for uni admission, how would race based sentencing fly?

But it's the land of reparations, i.e. promises to voters that will never happen.

Warning to the wise: don't let anyone from CA ever be POTUS again, not just Gruesome Newsom

Oh my gosh.... one more stupid idea to bribe voters in CA.

It won't fly. SCOTUS will throw it out. At least until they pack the courts.

Because you don't watch the local news in these countries. Getting a gun in Germany is not hard. There were cases where people with WBK cards (license to buy a gun, not carry) went crazy.

You will also find news about machetes, knifes and other things. Banning things will not prevent the criminals from getting them and even then, they just use something different.

My thoughts are, i can't see why it should it matter one iota as to what colour the fool happens to be.



It only matters to those who want it to matter... If it was a white man then people would be screaming look at what that racist White guy did in his Hate crime. People are so triggered now to go in that direction that it sadly needs to be pointed out that the man wasn't White.

But again having guns and using them in Germany and other European countries is rather difficult. In comparison to the US gun related crimes in Europe is minimal.

This is what I said too.
A white male would have triggered a different piece of news by the mainstream media and so different motives.

Technical any crime that involves a measure of violence is a hate crime by my guess.

Thing is that the application of such terminology somewhat diminishes other crimes of a similar nature.

I too have never really figured out just what is a hate crime when all crimes are based on hate. The way I reason it is typically only White people can accomplish hate crimes and so crimes by White people are labeled as hate because it is inferred as racist hate...

. . . . . but this gun madness must stop.




Make it the death penalty for any felony where a firearm was used.

I agree with your last sentence but getting a gun (legal) here is not difficult.

The US has historical reasons for gun rights, that will never change. Advocating for more gun control will only prevent the good people from protecting themselves.

A criminal does not care about laws, that is the major problem and also definition of a criminal.
