What Happened to The Angry White Male?

The media's "racial profile" of the sniper turned out to be dead wrong.

"This person is kind of a wallpaper white male, a disenfranchised, disrespected man who's getting back at society." So explained Brian Levin, a criminologist and director of the Center for Hate and Extremism in San Bernardino, Calif., to the Christian Science Monitor on Oct. 9. "That's one of the reasons he's kept his distance from inner D.C., where he might lose his cover."

Amen Truck Drivin Man Bump!

What Happened to The Angry White Male?

You mean the guy with the Southern drawl? He parked his rig and kept an eye on the murdering scum while contacting a radio station and then the police at risk of his own life. His anger at the killing of his fellow Americans overcame his instincts for self survival.

He did the right thing when nobody was looking. A damn fine angry white male American.

Oh, but in his anger, he has gone even farther: he has now announced that he wants any reward money he has coming, to go to the survivors of Muhammad's dead victims.

Hear hear! Let's roll (over?). ;)

A true American. Pity the NEA will never use him in class or text as a shining example of the meaning of civic virtue.

side note: I hope the authorities keep his name and address secret... some folks might want to annoy him in a final manner for his meddling.

[wardaddy]

LOL....sort of....queasily.

We have to shed the fear of being labeled. Everyone on the right has to do this. I have.....even though occasionally I have a knee jerk reaction to defend smears still.

[demosthenes the elder]

A.W.M. bump!

actually, been considering starting a grass-roots movement to gain recognition of an oppressed minority in this country: SWAMPs - Straight White American Male Persons

What happened to the "Angry White Male"?

He morphed into an evil flat black rifle. The rifle wasn't "angry", but it was evil. So evil that it made Mohammed angry. Made him kill. That evil rifle did.

That is where the bed wetting journalists of the East coast is go with this story tomorrow. The shooter was just another victim of the "Evil Gun".

bump that count up by one. I'm throwing my angry white hat in this ring.

although I consider myself more of a simmering, contemptuous reviler...but we all look alike to the liberal media anyway.

"What Happened to The Angry White Male?"

He scared all the liberals so badly that now he's living in "THE GELDED AGE!"

He got totally defeated politically in 1998 by the "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK" bumper stickers in CA!!!

He acted like the dog who kept chasing cars and didn't quite know what to when he caught one, other than to pee on all the wheels!!!

[wardaddy]

You know it comes at the price of alienating more "sensitive" friends and family...lol

Glad to have you...i woulda figured you were in.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Mr. Levin's Gilda Radner-esque "never mind," as the image of two handsome black men--who'd need no cover in inner-city Washington--fills every television in America. He has too much company to be singled out for mockery.

Mr. Levin was on BSNBC tonight doing a little tap-dance to try and reclaim his reputation. Instead of admitting he (and others) were wrong, he instead said they were mostly right, all the while completely ignoring the race issue. Truly a weasel-wording performance.

[IsItTimeYet]

did you catch 'ol Moosie say "the weapon has been taken off the streets" when he announced the arrests? Reassuring the gunPhobes that it was safe to step outside, I guess. As though the prescence of the gun, not the shooter was the real source of the fear...yeah right.

Ladies and gentlemen, the evil gun has left our city, hoorah, hooray...

[demosthenes the elder]

has deer season hiatus been lifted yet in those 4 counties? I mean, if the "evil gun" is off the streets and all...

"I'm still here and they're still pi$$in' me off!"

LOL, reminds me of an obscure movie line (shouting out of a window) "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore"

What Da$$hole & co. have done to halt the good work done by the house is enough to anger anyone!

So add me to the list of angry white men. What # does that make me on this list?

Lock and load for that ballot on election day!!!

"You know it comes at the price of alienating more "sensitive" friends and family...lol"

Oh I've paid that price. I've got a brother with one-a-them-thar college educations. He's developed a disturbing penchant for trumpeting the "tolerant and accepting" approach to just about any situation.

But I still have a little fun with it. I just buy him a dress at christmas to reward him for all the nauseating sensitivity he subjects me to during the rest of the year.

the image of two handsome black men

These two (Muhammad and Malvo) are going to inspire love, lust, and adoration among women. Fan clubs, a jailhouse marriage or two, love letters, etc. Sorry, women -- I'm one -- but women are like that. (Never could understand it, though.) These two are going to become heroes. They're going to be hero-worshipped. Their good looks may even cause people to follow in their footsteps in one way or the other.

eeeep! the evil gun is lurking in the forest! last seen hiding under a blaze-orange angry white male.
