Truth is in America once Sandy Hook happened and we decided it was fine nothing at any point was going to change the gun rights argument. It is over. We're doomed to generations of people being shot down in the streets or workplaces or classrooms for no reason.

This is the sad reality. If people weren't going to wake up to it then they never will.

Can anyone point me to a policeman saying the same about a POC for any crime, let alone a racist murder spree?

Setting it up for the loner/mental heath issues angle then as he's white.

How long until we find out he is a Trump supprter?

Really bizarre framing.

Desperate not to name the motive as racism.

What an absolutely ridiculous thing for him to say. A bad day ffs. Also it would be quite the coincidence that, at a time of sharply rising incidents of racist attacks against Asians in America, he just happened to kill 6 Asian people.

Them and QMoron are huge domestic terrorist threats, but I think it's important to focus on what matters: faux-outrage over Dr. Seuss books.
