The media has been pathetic today IMHO.

Right! They're so accustomed to getting their talking points handed to them...they can't think on their feet and accurately report a developing story.

He looks white to me and his name is Roberts.

Roberts looked to me as if he was partly American Indian, or maybe Hawaiian ethnic background.

But you're right, mass murderers in this country have tended to be young caucasian men ..with the very notable exceptions of the 9/11 murderers, and the Fort Hood murderer.

Serial killers otoh tend to be of more "diverse" backgrounds. Remember the DC snipers? And Wayne Williams, the Atlanta serial killer.

As someone posted on another forum:
,,

Why have most of these tragedies only occurred recently?
,,

Repeating firearms have existed for over 150 years – the Colt revolver for example.
,,

Why didn’t those kinds of massacres occur 150… 120.. 100 years ago?
,,

Why didn’t these tragedies occur back when select fire – fully automatic weaponry were easily available?
,,

Why do these tragedies almost always occur in “Gun-Free” zones – where the law-abiding are denied the right of self-defense?
,,
And why do they happen a lot of the time in heavily Democratic states with that already have tight gun-control laws?

I have been staying on CBS because John Miller seems the least pathetic. However, he did report the Ryan was the shooter.

it;s too early to speculate about the way parents raise their kids, too early, HUH.

Er what kind of parents rasie kids to get guns and kill children?
I guarantee that these boys who did the shooting enevr really had much family time, but of course many will not mention the failed social issues because many don;t bother raising their kids either, go out to dinner, get a nanny, they;re too busy, they’re too tired from work.

I hear it every frigging day

And I’m already hearing about gun control.

My version:
With a fixed and steady hand I aimed my firearm and stopped aerating the sum only after running out of ammunition.

"Remember the DC snipers?"

Sure do. The thing I remember most is how before they were caught all the xpurts said they had to be white guys.

What are the dates for those mass shootings committed by young white males? I don’t mean specific calendar days. I mean what years and under whose leadership.

Self-inflicted gunshot wound ..... I’ve seen this reported a couple of times, but considering the crappy reporting & everything the presstitutes have gotten wrong today, no telling what the facts actually are.

I wonder if she had kids by another man? Might be Adam’s half sibling or step dad?

No kidding.

When and where did Adam become the shooter and not Ryan?
