Anger will increase 10 fold if it turns out he's not from around here.

Has it been pointed out how much the media is emphasizing this was done by a white male... CNN also just put up a graph pointing out these types of shootings are disproportionately done by white males. I'm fine with presenting objective crime data, but It's interesting...
I feel like this has already gotten way more coverage than the Chattanooga shooting.
Politicization is inevitable.

To be fair, they were pointing out that the percentages were in proportion to the population for blacks and whites. Also, higher for Asians and lower for Hispanics if I heard correctly. Still kind of shitty of them to post this now but, the limited information being put out has them reaching for stuff.

Yeah this has been politicized to hell already. On twitter a ton of tweets are about how it was a white man and how "gun bans" would've prevented this

It's the truth. However they would never do the same for the urban crime that plagues our inner cities.

People bitching about Fox asking if this was related to Isis should be angry that the anchor on CNN just said "And as you know, what families of victims want most is change....."

So a local news channel just reported that there is some rubbernecking going on in front of the theater after the police asked that people not take Johnson St.
It's things like this ( where people are just downright inconsiderate) that get me pisses at the general public. It makes you realize how trashy people really are.

I tuned into CNN to get more information on the shooting this morning. Within a minute, they were already talking about gun control and politics. They've really gotten horrible.
May as well just follow the OT to get current information.

Shooters alone from Alabama, living in hotel , been here since July and had disguises in his car that was by the exit of the theater. All this per the 7:15 presser.

No way to confirm that is his page. Looks like there are a few more people with that name including a military soldier buried in Ohio.

Oh shite. It's on now

The fact that he's a piece of shite drifter made me mad all over again. It's not like it would be OK if it was a Lafayette native either, so I don't know why I'm so offended it was an out of towner.

Mother fricking piece of shite drifter from Bama.
I think I'm more pissed bc I know pple down here would never cause harm like this. I believe int he people here, we are good people we care for each other and we are a close community. To have someone come in to our community just to harm people pisses me off to no end.

Yeah but it also says the guy is from Alabama

You can't really get mad at people rubbernecking, I'm sure you do it when you pass an accident on the interstate. It's human nature to be drawn to tragedy.
