    Can we make assumptions about the colour of the shooter's skin based on the fact, that people like Marie LePen, Nigel Farage and Alice Weidel don't push this news down our throats?
    His identity is known now
    And still no posts from right-wing-assholes about that, so I suppose the shooter is white.
    A white person in Sweden? Now I've heard everything. 
    The victims, I imagine, were not "white".

    no reporting yet?  I saw a reuters article about the shooting that I didnt open. maybe prefering "on the ground" info?
    He was inside a "Swedish for immigrants" school/part of the school from what I have read. There might be a dutch person in there learning Swedish also, but mainly there are people having come for asylum etc. 

    I read through the aticle I did post after this question.

    how much of this that happens here in the usa gets reported on there? It really feels like an export of ours given the frequency here.

    When there is something big that breaks through the news cycle. Like the Parkland shooting etc.

    From what you've said, I would not be surprised. My comment was not meant to be callous, but pointing out the absurdity of bringing up race into this subject. Not everything is about race. 

    YET the shooting occured at an adult education center to train immigrants to sweden for jobs they may fill as well as teach swedish as a second language.

    so with no known motive as of the writing of the article I posted , and the suspect killing himself on the spot, its a pretty safe bet it involves bigotry in the least if not outright racism....
    It could definitely be racially motivated for what has been shared here (I haven't read any of it on my own yet).
    But to imply it's not a talking point because of the race of the shooter is another thing than the shooting being racially motivated.

    One theory they imply is coming from the Police, it was revenge on social services for cutting his social benefits.

    You don’t say? Wow, within 5 days it’s discussed. No, “now’s not the time”? Remarkable. How long ago was Columbine?
