Jared Lee Loughner (Tucson,AZ) - 23 yo white male.

Adam Lanza (Newtown, CT) - 20 yo white male

James Eagan Holmes (Aurora, CO) - 24 yo white male.

Jacob Tyler Roberts (Oregon mall) - 22 yo white male

Eric David Harris (Colulumbine, CO) - 19 yo white male

Dylan Bennet Klebold (Columbine, CO) - 17 yo white male

Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City, OK) - 27 yo white male

Another pattern could be that the media sensationalizes the infamous exploits of young white males.

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.

You leave me no choice: Overly simplistic.

(1) a selected (cherry picked) list (IOW, you have a select statistical population you have picked, i.e., high-profile individuals who drew news attention due the high visibility of their acts)

(2) individuals picked up by law enforcement or reported by family who were *not* able to commit high-profile acts are not part of your statistical sample ‘population’.

(3) It is too early in a couple of the cases you cite to draw the kind of inferences you are drawing now.

BTW, you should really take this up with storm front dot you-know-where for a discussion of the specific ‘races’ involved ... you might be surprised ...

No, it’s not sensationalized. White guys are usually the perps in ANY given mass murder OR serial killings. It’s just the truth.

Black guys usually for regular murders and other crimes.

This is US. World-wide if anything massively blows up, probably a Moslem, usually of the Arab variety.

We’re not supposed to deal in stereotypes, but there’s a reason for them. Preponderance of experience.
