It is deeply concerning that the mass shooting tragedies our nation continues to endure are used as pawns in the political arena. As a conservative republican voter and a Christian, these mass shootings are not democratic nor republican led... they are a result of pure evil and should be treated as such.
Our leaders need to stop blaming one another, the NRA, etc ... and need to unite as one. With the constant attack on God and division amongst our society & our country it is not shocking to see a continued pattern of evil/terrorism afflicting our nation.
I pray and urge all my friends and family to do the same. Take a knee not for people like Kapernick but in prayer to God. Pray for our country..for peace..and for unification under Jesus Christ.

At work this morning, people are sying this guy went on a rampage because his sister was dating a black guy but can't see any conformation of this online. Anyone seen anything regarding a motive?
Ok someone else just told me apparently he was a leftist nut. Starting to think the people I work with aren't reliable sources of information.
Every year you have a 7.5/100,000 chance of being murdered. You have to approach it by asking what are the chances you don’t get murdered in any of the 76 years you live.
That is (1-(7.5/100,000))^76
I.e. you have to get ‘lucky’ every year and the chances of that happening are 0.999925 * 0.999925 * 0.999925 * 0.999925........ 76 times.
The probability of you not getting murdered in 76 years is 99.4316%. So you have a 0.5684% chance of being murdered in a 76 year life span. This is 1 in 175.93.
The answer is nearly the same as yours due to the chances of being murdered in any one year being nearly 0 but would have got very different results with a higher probability and your answer would have been way off.
Reports are that on social media he was a not particularly interesting left wing bloke but in real life had a history of violent misogynist threats, including supposedly getting kicked out of school for getting caught with a list of girls he wanted to kill. His sister was indeed one of the victims. Not seen anything suggesting he himself attempted to provide his reasons for mass murder.
EDIT - Apologies if I've confused any of the information there with the other shooting. Also, I'm just saying what I've seen claimed a few times from sources I have some degree of faith in but I'm absolutely not confident of any of it. It's still pretty early to know much.
If that story checks out, we'll in two days have seen the difference between a mass shooting and a terrorist attack. The first one was obviously politically motivated, online manifesto and everything, while this one... might just be some guy who wanted to kill his sister and some other people? There's no difference as far as gun policy goes, of course, or the suffering caused.
It isn't just criminals who are buying America's guns. P sure if anything they'd be a small percentage of sales outside the country
Looks like people want to say the Texas one was inspired by hate and bigotry while this one the guy was insane
No, just the above.

Far right groups are going to some lengths to make the
Or they are telling the truth that he was left wing and often tweeted support for Bernie and Warren
That doesn't make the shooting an act of terror, i.e., linked to a political agenda. Unlike the other shooter who wrote a fecking essay of racist lunacy to justify his actions.
Irrelevant now. Right wing media and the crowd will go to town on his twitter feed now and paint him explicitly as a left wing terrorist.
Yeah, already at it.
So it's an act of terror when it's a right wing shooter but not when it's a left wing shooter ? 
If a right-winter kills someone, it's murder. If a left-winger kills someone, it's murder. But if either writes a manifesto detailing the very specific political reasons for their attack on a very specific group, it's right- or left-wing terrorism.So it's an act of terror when it's a right wing shooter but not when it's a left wing shooter ?
Well, let's be honest, these days it's always right-wing terrorism in the West. The left hasn't really done any since the Cold War, except for separatist terror - and not much of that lately.
If the left wing shooter left information explaining he did it because of his left wing views, we'll take that seriously. At the moment it looks like his history of violent misogyny is the answer.So it's an act of terror when it's a right wing shooter but not when it's a left wing shooter ?
The white supremacists, being terrorists and all, have a tendency to tell us their political motivations.
Fox headline: "WSJ: 'Dayton shooter is a leftist but don't connect him to Warren' "
Never ever have shame or scruples when saying a word to these people. Lies>truth and the point is to use them broadly and well.
