Sometimes people really are insane.

That's true.

And sometimes they are driven to act out on their insanity by things they read in the press, videos they watch, churches they attend (all religions are sometimes guilty, BTW), their FB friends, websites, etc...and they grab weapons that can do the most damage to the most people, very efficiently.

If this man was named Mohammed - he would have already been labeled as a terrorist.

Considering the age, ethnic background and gender of the shooter - he most likely will be declared insane.

Just my guess...

BTW - 33,000 people die each year in the USA from guns. I'd love to see picketers at a gun manufacturing facility. We have no problem considering another ME war over the Paris incident (some potential leaders are calling for it ASAP)- why not the same outrage and attention over what is happening right here, year in and year out???

No need to try to spin this into something it isn't.  The statement about the guy's age, coupled with the Mohammed statement, sound rather stereotypical.  

Moderators, why aren't these gun control statements considered a controversial or political topic here?

---

"No need to spin this into something it isn't" ...

That's EXACTLY the attitude I'm seeing. Same with the guy who shot the waitress - just call him insane and move on.

And shut down dialogue.

Thanks...you proved my point.

the only point proved here is that day after day after day, you start these threads under a guise of concern when really all they do is pit one side versus the other side and people can come out and say things to each other like "well, now know what kind of person you are".

The dialogue about this shooter or the restaurant shooter is not "shut down" as you say, you can go to any news source and find out what's being done. The dialogue on this forum should be shut down when posters find new ways to say mean things to each other. 

Why else would you want dialogue to continue on a shopping forum about volatile news stories?

Re-read your comments.  If anyone is shutting down dialogue, it's you.  No need for that tone here.  😀

Most outlets are leading with the potential unrest in Chicago, that's ok right?

His name was not Mohammed. 

Don't change the fact to suit your biased agenda.

[Plaid Pants2]

He might be schizophrenic.

For all we know, he may have been listening to the voices in his head.

 Did I say "now I know what kind of person you are?" No, I didn't and I wouldn't.

Why do you try to make this into a personal attack? "Mean things"??? I don't think so.

But you'll probably get this thread shut down...congratulations.

Agreed, I wish she'd just lay it all out instead of thinly veiled hints.......
