    racism ? a white camraman and a white reporter killed by a black man with a racism complaint that was tossed out and soon after he was let go because he was a problem to work with for several co-workers, just thinking maybe it's more than a gun issue.

    Godfather.

    You are not an intelligent person
    so the white guy killing all the black people in church was not racism ?

    holy shit....the guy recorded it himself and put in on twitter. He walked right up behind the camera guy and had his gun out. None of the three victims appeared to even look at him prior to him shooting.

    do you think that it's not a possibilty or even the facts so far do not hint at a racist act ?
    but I understand, while we are all saying how sad this news is it just does not feel good to bring up racism or even gun control.

    dimi, it's like the local news is just salivating to keep showing the video...ad nauseum.

    Fuckin' crazy indeed.

    I watched the vid and there isn't really anything to see. You don't actually see them shot (not in the vid from the news station anyway... saw above that the shooter posted vids from a go-pro too?? Haven't seen those). But you do hear the poor reporter screaming. :frowning:

    which does show that even if all three of the victims had been armed they still didn't have a chance

    The surprise shooter will win every time.

    That argument (more guns) won't fly.

    In his video, as he points the gun at the reporter, he calls her a white bitch. GF isn't very far off.

    **Correction, he says "bitch" not white bitch.

    Did the perpetrator say that I hate white people and I want them all dead? This may just be a planned situation where he wanted to commit this heinous act on live TV. While the victims happened to be all white. I'm thinking it appears that it was far more important to him that this act appear on live TV to get whatever point he wanted to get across.

    The shooter posted tweets saying that the reporter is a racist, so yeah, I'd take that as a hint about this being at least partly racially motivated.

    Kids were massacred in a school, people killed on live tv, killed while at church, and even a senator severely wounded and not a damn thing has or will change. Why? Cause money and the NRA don't want it to. Truly disgusting that peoples "right" to own a gun is more important than innocent peoples right to live.

    No, I haven't had k e thought of this being anything about racism. It appears to be about a disgruntled employee. It also appears that this sick fuck used racism to file several different complaints against past employers. I don't think he picked these 2 former coworkers because they were white.

    To me the better question is how an emotionally unstable person such as this was able to get a gun. Not was he racist.

    Nothing is ever going to change. If the murder of kids in school doesn't change anything, I can't imagine what will. This will happen again and again and again and again. Some worse than others, all destroying families until this country wakes up and realizes that this does not happen in other places in the world.

    And for those suggesting people need to 'get a grip' and place responsibility on the shooter and not the gun... come home from the fair. People have attributed responsibility to the shooter. And, at the same time, they point to the obvious problems having such liberal gun laws.

    Every country has its fair share of unstable lunatics- they're definitely in Canada. But thank common sense that we have removed easy access to weaponry so that every lunatic we have isn't sitting there like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

    It's ri-god-damn-diculous. Seriously.

    What method?

    And why do people not die as often in "another method" in other countries?

    This is literally the most idiotic, lamest and most absurd argument ever focused on idiots who are the lowest common denominator in America.

    No they won't. What other method do you think they can resort to that carries the level of detachment and effectiveness as a gun?
