I read the manifesto the killer told no lies. He targeted no Blacks. Mass murder is evil of course, but why does the media forget about
Here's the list of immigrant mass shootings, defined as a shooting at the same general time and location, not during the commission of another crime, that leaves at least four people dead -- i.e. no gangland shootings, no "man kills family, then self" and no drug deals gone bad.

On account of the Rule of Journalism that permits the word "immigrant" to be used only in sentences with the word "valedictorian," you may not have heard of some of these mass shootings at all.

1) Omar Mateen, son of Afghan immigrants, killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016.

2) First- and second-generation Pakistani immigrants Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a community center Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, on Dec. 2, 2015, killing 14 people.

3) English immigrant Christopher Harper-Mercer killed 9 people at Umpqua Community College in southwest Oregon on Oct. 1, 2015.

4) Kuwaiti immigrant Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez shot and killed five people in attacks on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on July 16, 2015.

5) Second-generation Malaysian immigrant Elliot Rodger killed six people on May 23, 2014, around the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara.

6) Second-generation immigrant John Zawahri opened fire at his Southern California home and later at the campus of Santa Monica College on June 7, 2013, killing five in all. (The New York Times never mentioned that he was the child of Lebanese immigrants. The Times didn't even mention that his father used to beat up his mother, despite that paper's usual heightened interest in stories about men being mean to women.)

7) Cuban immigrant Pedro Alberto Vargas fatally shot six people in his apartment complex in Hialeah, Florida, on July 26, 2013.

cool Probable Barbadian immigrant Aaron Alexis shot and killed 12 people inside the Washington Navy Yard on Sept. 16, 2013. (See this.)

9) South Korean immigrant One L. Goh opened fire at Oikos University in Oakland, California, killing seven people on April 2, 2012.

10) Mexican immigrant Eduardo Sencion shot up an IHOP in Carson City, Nevada, on Sept. 6, 2011, killing four people -- three National Guardsmen and a 67-year-old woman.

11) Second-generation immigrant Nidal Malik Hasan, son of Palestinian immigrants, killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, on Nov. 5, 2009.

12) Vietnamese immigrant Jiverly Wong shot up the Binghamton, New York, American Civic Association on April 3, 2009, killing 13.

13) Bosnian immigrant Sulejman Talovic fatally shot five people at the Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City on Feb. 12, 2007.

14) Seung-Hui Cho, a South Korean immigrant, slaughtered 32 people at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007.

15) Hmong immigrant Chai Soua Vang killed six hunters in northern Wisconsin on Nov. 21, 2004.

16) Mexican immigrant Salvador Tapia shot up the Windy City Core Supply warehouse in Chicago in 2003, killing six of his former co-workers.

If you missed your favorite immigrant mass shooting, please note that I excluded Jamaican immigrant Colin Ferguson (Long Island Railroad massacre in 1993); Nigerian immigrant Peter Odighizuwa (Appalachian School of Law shooting in 2002); Haitian illegal immigrant Kesler Dufrene (North Miami shooting in 2012); and Nigerian immigrant Henry Williams Obotetukudo (Bronx-Lebanon Hospital shooting in 2017). We are only counting mass shootings since 2000 that left at least four people dead.

First- and second-generation immigrants have committed more than 40 percent of all mass shootings since 2000. I know we've been admitting Third World immigrants at a breakneck pace, but I don't think immigrants make up nearly half the population yet.

Once we exclude the immigrant mass shooters, a clearer pattern emerges. The typical American perpetrator is a young man with paranoid schizophrenia -- or, as we're now euphemistically calling it, "autism" -- probably exacerbated by pot, a deadly combo platter.

An immigration moratorium and widespread deportations would not only cut mass shootings in half, but it would also free up the FBI's time to focus on these delusional young men with the terrifying stare, who hear voices no one else hears.

Young men like Nikolas Cruz.

They're keeping the guns because of self de fence so how come the victims were not carrying their own guns to de fence themselves at the mall or wearing bullet proofs since it's clear to all everyone has guns and you need to defend self? angry

It only goes on to show that the reason for wanting to own a gun is flawed and lopsided undecided

Since the guns aren't helping to protect one from these madmen, it only make sense to repeal it and NRA take responsibility. Useless people.




Explorers:
Local reports indicate that at least 22 people were killed in the shooting in El Paso on Saturday.


Nearly two dozen people were reportedly killed and at least 22 others, including a four-month-old baby, were wounded on Saturday after a gunman reportedly opened fire inside a Walmart in El Paso.

One suspect is in custody.

Dan Patrick, Texas' lieutenant governor, said that the suspect in custody is a 21-year-old male.

Thanks for bringing this up. Switzerland requires their citizens to carry arms. Also, the areas of the US with more guns are the safest. Georgia for example, have had several attempts that the shooter was killed before he could kill a single person because a lot of people have guns, but the FAKE NEWS media won't report it because it's not going to play into their naratives. They want to confiscate guns from innocent americans so they will be a sitting duck, criminals will always have guns no matter what.


Lienus the lying lump. Where in Georgia? Atalanta? Where? You guys just whip up lies anyhow. Of all places to mention, it's Georgia. Please shift.

Dumbass Nigerians everywhere. Let's speak the truth, America is a glorified shithole. Trump is a stark racist, who has given a voice to white nationalists. El paso used to be a peaceful border town until Trump showed up with his racist rhetoric. Expect more mass shootings.

You this brainwashed clown must be sleep-reading my post. Everyone already knows the shooter is white but the white nationalist thing is in your deranged mind only.

You still haven't refuted my claim that the shooter is a patsy used by ds to muffle the dclass week starting on Monday and also to boost their anti gun law. Go back and read my post again and separate what I said from the post I said Anon dropped on Friday, also, stop diving head first in comments that are bigger than you.

You need to go and learn the meaning of conspiracy and evidence first before saying another word because there have been so many evidences upon evidences staring you in the face but the universe you liberals are in is totally out of touch with reality. Democrats are so delusional, they went to court on Russia collusion without evidence and lost this weekend even by a judge appointed by Bill Clinton. Infact, he threw the case out and warned them never to bring a case to his court without evidence.

You are far gone my brother!

Deep State only exists in your delusional mind, keep dreaming! You can’t prove a negative, so is your delusional claim that he is pasty planted by the ds....do you care to provide any verifiable proof beyond what currently exist in your delusional mind?

BTW, the Democrats only controls one arm of the law making entities in the US, and the GOP controls the other two plus the almighty veto power.....and as such they can’t pass any gun control laws. They can only play defense to right wing laws proposed by the GOP.

You clearly are making up sh1ts as you go to suit your delusional narratives. Your previous post clearly stated he was part ISIS flown across the Mexico border by the DS.... now that we know that, he is a white boy, a home grown terrorist, who hate Latinos and immigrates and sympathizes with the other of his buddy who killed 51 in New Zealand and also a White Nationalist and a Trump brainless supporter like yourself; you changed faced and start spewing some more sh1t.

Yes, I said he is a white nationalist; google and read his manifesto...if they have not taken it down to prevent copycats wannabes from the same white washed brainless camp that spew your type of conspiracies.

No mind them o. The media is full of ish. If a black man were to be suspected of mere pick pocketing, they would be sure to state his race and even include his picture. But now all of a sudden they are silent?? Because na their own person? The media provides exxagerated and lopsided report and is responsible for all the unfounded stereotypes that follow black people in this country.

BTw, almost 100% of the serial killers and mass murderers in this country are white. If na another race now, they no go let us hear word.

The US is one of the most unsafest countries to live in. You might just be in a store buying something and some kid will just walk in with a rifle and open fire for no reason.


You can fault them on that but their emergency response team is second to none.

Someone is already in custody! You can’t beat that. Whether it’s ecological disasters like earthquakes, typhoons etc or this sort of incident, the government respond well. This psycho wouldn’t have escaped, even if he/she did, security will hunt him/her down no matter what it takes.
