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 ...

I have over-broadened the list to include bombers, but the main thrust should be on “school shootings.” Can we find an example of a non-young white male school shooting?
