So, even if that is this year, that a miniscule percentage of the mass shooters. Where's your meme that announces that more than 99% of mass shooters are CIS?

What do you expect when the MAGA haters target a minority group for bullying?

This from the mayor who left antifa run his city and burn businesses down, costing $2 billion dollars to the taxpayer.
No, it's about mental health.

The Trump administration says it will stop paying out $1 billion in federal grants that school districts across the country have been using to hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers.

It's not about the shooter? Dude wtf is wrong with you? It is absolutely about the shooter. It's also about mental health and other things too, but what kind of person says its not about the shooter?

So, you're saying that we've had a series of 286 tragic, coincidental one-off mass shootings during the first 8 months of the year in this country, because each one was about the shooter. In Great Britain, where people are just as ornery as Americans, there have been 3 mass shootings since 2000.

The difference is the gun laws.

We can't make sure that all people are content and mentally healthy all the time, but we can make sure that when people snap, guns are less likely to be on their hips or in their handbags. Canada is a good example to look to for this. People own guns, as they do here, but there is enough of a hedging around the way the guns are registered and restricted that they don't have mass shootings multiple times a week.

This is a classic behavioral health problem. It's just like cigarettes, or seatbelts.

Of course, dems are taking the side of the shooter... It was a hate crime against people who pray... So it's not surprising they are saying this.

I'm not taking the shooter's side: shooting people is wrong; even brandishing a gun at them is a crime. I'm just noting that if we try to solve this problem shooter by shooter, we are failing. There will always be a person who has a mental health need or crisis; there will always be a person having a Very Bad Day. If those people have easy access to guns, particularly ones with large magazines and rapid fire rates, we will have mass shootings. It's been more than one a day so far this year.

Democrats defend crime and defunding the police because this keeps them in power.

If people are threatened, they are more willing to distrust those who fall into the “oppressor” groups. The impetus to change paradigms does not come easily when “free” stuff is offered to those with little resources. Hence socialist Mamdani is leading for NYC mayor in a city with a large immigrant population. Crime is the chaos that Critical Theory has ordered. Lowering the crime rate in Washington, D.C. by the Trump initiative is a threat to the Democratic leadership. Of course, the opposition to Trump labels this effort as racism, since Critical Race Theory is one element of this Marxist approach.
