Why are the majority of mass shooters

You confuse criminal activity that results in murder with the purposeful killing of innocents by a lone assailant with a personal grievance. Your last sentence is complete BS at least, pure supposition and conjecture at most.

I'm sure the dead would be amused by your idiotic gymnastics.

Generally a media recognized "mass shooter" is a only white guy. They may call in a non-white mass shooter if a narrative being spun desperately needs one.

Ahhh, that would be pure projection on your part, toodles. By your generalization here, I could compare auto accident deaths to those killed in cross fire or stray bullets. But FYI, gangland shootings of 10 and up rival criminal gang members have been called "massacres" in the press, don't cha know. My previous statement stands valid, and that just burns your ass.
 
Hello Walt,

If the average person needs 100 tons of water a year, and there are 10 billion people, that would be 1 trillion tons of water a year, or about 1000 cubic kilometers. There are 1,338,000,000 cubic kilometers, so that would increase salinization by one millionth every year... OR WOULD IT???

None of the normal uses of water destroy it. We dirty the water, but we do not destroy the water. The used water either becomes sewerage, or evaporates. Either way, it ends up back in the ocean, so the volume of the ocean should not change.

The only thing I can think of that destroys water is turning it into hydrogen. That is exceedingly rare these days, but may become more common in the future. The reason one would create hydrogen is as a partible energy source, and it would be recombined with oxygen to create water. In theory, that would mean the same amount of water, but it is possible there could be some lossage in that process. Who can tell, it is the future.

Get OUTTA here!

Did you just calculate the ocean salinity increase of desalinating all human water usage?

Pretty impressive. If those assumptions are correct.

The mighty Colorado River reached the sea up until about the 1960's. Now, it rarely does at all. 100 years earlier, steamboats used to carry passengers from the mouth to points upriver.

It supplies water for about 40 million people. If we wanted to put another 40 million people in that space, where would we get another Colorado River?

Why not defend yourself?
It's funny how so many here haven't the balls to defend themselves, yet say they'll defend this country.

Well, in the case of the Amazon shooter, I read something interesting in the paper today...

A year before (give or take) this guy was checked into a mental health facility for being suicidal and had bought a shotgun. He was known to have mental health issues around suicide. He bought the firearm he used this time just days before the incident, and obviously passed the background check, possibly lying on the form about his mental health history.

In his case, it appears that neither red flag laws nor a background check stopped him from buying the weapon.

The Fedex shooter? Yes, I saw where he was investigated by the FBI after his mother was concerned about his possible desires for suicide-by-cop. Nothing came of it. I'm surprised the Red Flag law didn't pop, but then again, due process. A year had passed and I don't know the ins and outs of Red Flag laws in Indiana. Notice in the link below is says "temporarily". IMO, the main problem is a lack of mental health care and supporting legislation. Is there any doubt this young man needed help? Why didn't he get it before he harmed others and himself?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...ress-the-gun-violence-public-health-epidemic/
The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states. Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others. The President urges Congress to pass an appropriate national “red flag” law, as well as legislation incentivizing states to pass “red flag” laws of their own. In the interim, the Justice Department’s published model legislation will make it easier for states that want to adopt red flag laws to do so.

 
For anybody who has a problem with the white men committing higher percentage of mass shootings, here's the graph.

If you sum up the total of non-whites on the graph, you'll see it doesn't come close.

Obviously to anyone outside the USA, and the majority of people inside the USA, but not obvious to the people who support the Child Molesting NRA. I really do not think it is about guns anymore. The NRA is more about child molesting and stealing money.

"Child molesting NRA?

That's a pretty fucking disingenuous accusation there, Walt Where is the proof of this pathetic accusation?

Its probably because the lawlessly hacked in tRump gutter insurgency of the sewer and his un America GOPers, engaged in conspiracies with their prostituted out foreign enemies of America to promote a environment of atrocities, chaos and violence against society and regardless of who one is at not only being on a mission to destroy Democracy from within but also the common decency of global humanity.

I look at it this way....racism is a by-product....low hanging fruit for these yahoos to go after because they can't/won't attack the folk at the top of our economic food chain WHO LOOK JUST LIKE THEM.

So anyone who is NOT a minority but disagrees with them is a traitor (lib'ral, commie, etc.). The Jan.6th insurrection was the first real onslaught against the perceived aforementioned ... the joke is that it was one of the "elites" who egged the dummies on...a person who makes his money building hotels that his supporters can't afford. Go figure.

Ever since that NY Times article from the early 1990's pointed out that "white" Americans will be the minority population by 2040, and that white folk internationally are a minority population, a lot of folk just ain't been right.

Your last sentence says it all. Who cares, really? They'll still be Americans no matter the color.

MSG, are there any other groups that you do not believe are human, or thus are open for genocide? Japanese, Blacks, Jews, Southeast Asians, South Asians, Hungarians, etc.?



Over my life I have known hundreds of people with Chinese ancestry, who were born all over, and every last one expressed they were human. I have never heard even one deny their humanity. I have known half Chinese, and quarter Chinese people, so like any humans, they have no problem breeding with the rest of humanity. I even have extended family that are half Jewish/half Chinese.

The level of racism I am seeing on the internet truly disturbs me. Most of you are too lazy to actually implement genocide. Many are just saying this nonsense to be hurtful, and without belief. It saddens me that this is all you have to contribute.

No, I like all those other folks. Except Italians. But they're still ostensibly human.

I'm not going to bother reading through your Buganese propaganda, you're either lying or believing in their lies.

Hello Iolo/Penderyn,



A good assessment. A big issue over recent decades is that we have transitioned from a male-dominated society to more equality. Many men have been pushed out of dominant roles and resent the change. They have not accepted this very well. Young men were raised to believe they would be the head of household, but that has not occurred as frequently as it used to. There is a lot of resentment over this. Families have broken up. Many younger people are raised without a traditional functional two-parent family upbringing. Young men sometimes feel they have been cheated out of a life they 'deserved.'

Traditionally male dominated work roles have slipped away. Men find themselves displaced by female workers on the job and often relegated to lessor roles. If they live in a household where women earn more than they do, they no longer enjoy autonomy in making all the decisions.

Notice that these mass shooters are almost always male. It's a fractured male ego thing.

When was the last story we've heard of a mass shooter being female?
Click to expand...

Yes, I think that's very true, and the 'race' thing is similar. This country is coming apart in a different way, but except in the worst bit of England, there is still hope to be had. The difficulty is that that element in England has been robbing everyone else for centuries, and is adept at keeping them in poverty. Our own little bit of Britain is relatively egalitarian and cheerful still, but very short of ready money since Thatcher. Our major problem other than that is that a fifth of the population or thereabouts consists of English immigrants. They take time to assimilate, alas!

Wrong, dude. It is a mass shooting and gets reported. What you are missing is that the "news media" is a business. They show what interests people to keep the viewers from flipping channels. A gangland shooting is reported, but most viewers don't give a fuck. A mass shooting at work catches viewer's attention because it could be them at work.

Do you understand this difference?

They call it a mass shooting when the victims are White. The lib audience flips the channel when the victims are Black children killed by Black Americans. The SSM knows white libs have no interest in that.

What ever happened to calling it "going postal"? Which, nobody feared.

I just look at the numbers. They freak out at a shooting, most of which are probably influenced by the Werther Effect AKA suicide contagion, then disregard the things that are most likely to kill them or their loved ones. An example are anti-maskers who are young and healthy and don't give a fuck about their elder parents, aunts, uncles, etc. Another is that about 130 Americans will commit suicide today, thousands more will attempt suicide. No one gives a fuck about them either.

People are funny.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18082110/
In social sciences and in medicine, the term "Werther-effect" is used as a synonym for media induced imitation effects of suicidal behaviour. In Goethe s novel, the contemporary recipient could find a lot of details to identify with. One of these aspects is the detailed description of Werther s mental state, which suggests that suicidality plays a role in the novel a long time before the suicidal act at the end. Even though we find several reports on imitation effects connected to Goethe s Werther in literary works, the epidemiological extent of this phenomenon could never be determined. Also current social scientific research on the impact of suicide stories on suicidal behaviour could not completely remove the remaining lack of evidence of the phenomenon. Nevertheless, many studies support the hypothesis, that some aspects of quality of reporting could trigger short-term increases of suicides in certain population subgroups. In Austria, "Media Guidelines for Reporting on Suicides", have been issued to the media since 1987 as a suicide-preventive experiment. Since then, the aims of the experiment have been to reduce the numbers of suicides and suicide attempts in the Viennese subway and to reduce the overall suicide numbers. After the introduction of the media guidelines, the number of subway suicides and suicide attempts dropped more than 80% within 6 months. Since 1991, suicides plus suicide attempts - but not the number of suicides alone - have slowly and significantly increased. The increase of passenger numbers of the Viennese subway, which have nearly doubled, and the decrease of the overall suicide numbers in Vienna (-40%) and Austria (-33%) since mid 1987 increase the plausibility of the hypothesis, that the Austrian media guidelines have had an impact on suicidal behavior.
