    Because that's what the topic is about.

    Would you like me to address what happens when two ppl are hitting eachother with their handbags?

    What is the only race it is socially acceptable to denigrate?

    Are you saying that this is the case ONLY for mass shootings?

    Your words were "Awww poor you" not a statement disproving my comment. In other words you accepted that what I said was true. The odd thing about racism aimed at whites is that it comes from people of all races including whites.

    Except it's self-hatred rather than racism when it's white people being anti-white.

    Are you saying that the media manages to remain totally objective while they sell advertising?

    Gotta have the clicks.

    I also think mass shooters should be hanged on national TV so those who are thinking about it in the future can see the suffering. But then you have to be insane to do it in the first place so nothing really will demotivate them;) Maybe they’ll shoot themselves more often instead of getting caught.

    Just need to enforce the laws we have more consistently to prevent any legal ways for those with records or flags to obtain them. But even that can be abused. In most cases mass shooters had warning signs family and friends ignored or the police didn’t do what they needed to do early enough.

    I’ve made this thread before with different words.
    Stop making them famous and there will be less shootings.
    Unfortunately the MSM values ratings and money over lives.
    It should be a LAW not to make shooters in the media
    People see the attention it gives and then they do it. This is why you always see the mass shootings happen in clusters

    I don't know. They teach white children in grade school these days that they are inferior because of their skin color. Seems pretty racist to me.

    I don't understand how this would get clicks. It's not as if on mainstream media websites it says: "click here to discover the name of the shooter."

    How does it make them money by saying the shooter's name?

    I assume that you mean NAME shooters. Wouldn't this be censoring the free press?

    I've heard of racist piece of crap black teachers teaching this racist filth, but maybe there are self-loathing pathetic white guilt ridden white teachers teaching it too.

    It has been taught in some high end private schools as well. I have no explanation for it. I wish they would limit it to people like me who are adult and don't care rather than to children.

    Apparently the classroom is a legitimate 'marketplace of ideas!'

    USA/UK are violent nations, they love doing it, reading about it and watching it. Episodes like this are clickbait for a nation that obsesses over it. The media just provides the story.

    Two questions, who perpetuates it, the media or the viewers?

    And why is USA/UK so obsessed with violence?

    In rare cases, teaching white children in grade school that they are inferior because of their skin color.
