While we agree about the use of the term, this is a bad argument. "If you can't prove me wrong, I'm not wrong".



I'm stating a factual position (no common usage of this term in this context prior to Martin case). I'm asking for any available rebuttal of what I propose to be factual.

I'm predicting that rebuttal, if any, will be unsupported.

It's a completely reasonable argument using an honest premise and inviting a response.

But good effort.

Everyone is piling on that TSA tweet

I assume they're right (there is a second shooter), but I won't be that surprised if there ultimately isn't one and the vagueness of the TSA tweet is blamed.

I had never seen the term before the media worked to make the Zimmerman shooting more racial.

I don't care that much

I just know the term "white Hispanic" has been around forever

Shooter was a passenger on a Canadian flight with a checked gun.

Because it didn't exist in any appreciable way until then.

There is a pic of someone who looks just like him being arrested in the comments on his Facebook page.

Well if Obama is "black" even though he is both white and black, why aren't they just "Hispanic" if they are both white and Hispanic?

So, the dude was a passenger that had checked his gun. He retrieved his bag at baggage claim, went into the restroom to load it and came out shooting. That is nuts.

Something I've never even thought of.

I'm going to bet that checked guns will be a thing of the past soon.
