    And yet you'll never post anything that says that 99.9% of minority Americans are NOT involved in mass shootings. That would destroy
    your narrative, wouldn't it?

    Now that’s a nice spin. After seeing article and graphic, would you say 99.9% of white Americans are NOT involved in mass shootings and take back your claim that most mass shooters are white?

    By the way, what is my narrative? I never said whites pose the most lethal threat to America. What was the purpose of that statement by Biden?

    I used to feel the same way. If you note that someone is oriental, you're saying he is different from the norm. It's easy to say it, but probably less easy, maybe painful, to hear it if you are from the Far East.

    That said, law enforcement should absolutely be able to say white, black, Hispanic, Asian,pacific Islander, native American, mixed race or Arabic in order to help identify and arrest a suspect. Doctors and ce sus takers routinely ask this as well.

    Impulsively blaming Whites for "mass shootings" requires more than a little manipulation of the statistics available.

    The first step is to clearly define what is meant by "mass shooting"; i.e. the number of people and over what time period.
    For example: Is someone who kills 6 people over a period of 10 years a "mass shooter"?

    I think that before we disagree, we should clearly define the terms we use.

    Thanks,

    A mass shooting is any shooting with 4 or more people shot in one incident.

    Keeping dangerous mentally ill people locked up kept us safer. It's a shame that's fallen out of fashion, but I suspect as we learn more we'll discover this isn't a mental health issue. That's simply speculation at this point.

    Funny how liberals harp on mass shootings only because blacks and hispanics commit the vast majority of "ordinary" murders and liberals switch the blame to guns for those.

    This is sad. From what i understood, the gunman entered an establishment where people were celebrating the Lunar New Year, opened fire, and then fled. The suspect is at large. At least 10 people now have died. And police are being very tight lipped about the details.

    We know the perpetrator was an Asian male according to witnesses, who wrestled the gun away, and the suspect fled. The police have released a sketch and have said the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous. The motive is anyone's guess at this moment.

    I don't think so :)

    Thats true, but black on black gun murder is far greater than mass murders..

    The greatest Mass Shooters of Black people are Black people. Black people also hold the honor of committing the highest per capita mass abortion of unborn black babies then any other race in The United States. Black lives don't Matter unless it can somehow be linked to Whitey and White Nationalism where there can be a lawsuit to take advantage of.

    They were defenseless, so no, not being able to carry a gun didn't work well at all.

    Way to go! Another thread that politicizes death.

    Let me change the subject for a moment...
    RIP to all the ten victims of this tragedy and best wishes to the other ten rushed to the hospital.

    It’s easier to get drugs and an illegal alien lawn guy than guns…..unless you get those guns illegally.
