Anybody think the Louisiana shooting will lead to middle-aged white men getting profiled?

[Ken Burch]

...like we don't all know the answer to that...

[bravenak]

1. Lol!

Ken...

2. And maybe a gun shop owner will declare his shop a "white lone wolf free zone"

Right?

[Android3.14]

3. Because more profiling is the answer, obviously

Equality means never having to say I'm sorry.

[winterwar]

4. Never

If Jeffrey Dahmer didn't make cops profile whites, nothing will.

[azurnoir]

5. nope it won't not at all nada never...............

[RKP5637]

6. ALL white middle-aged men to be deported to land of racial heritage! Protect our borders!

7. I missed this. Is Roof being charged as a terrorist?

I don't see how his killings would not be considered to be terrorist acts considering that some very similar but less successful plans for violence were considered terrorist acts.

Roof's killings were very, very political. Has anyone been watching that story? Just trying him for a hate crime doesn't seem quite right to me.

When the Patriot Act was first passed, I thought the definition of terrorist acts and terrorism was too vague. Still is. Depends on your religion and the color of your skin more than on the nature of your act from what I can tell thus far.

9. I'm talking about the killing in Louisiana tonight. Three people murdered in a movie theatre

by a middle-aged white man.

[heaven05]

8. I'll answer

NO!!!!!! never will white terrorists be profiled, in this country. Can't, too many of them. That's their strength, always has been. Even when they were riding in the night terrorizing, good decent folk.

10. The only time they are looking for that is if a witness gave a description

of a perp and only in the area of the crime. Never of course generally. Now whites are abused in custody now and then. My cousin was arrested for a dui and at the jail in the holding area, she was beaten to near death. She has had 4 or 5 operations since and now is permanently disabled.

11. I am an old white woman, and I am absolutely terrified of any white guy who struts

around with a gun. I leave the premises whenever I see one. Why wait, why take a chance. I consider them the most likely to go batshit crazy or coolly insane and just start shooting people, knowing there may not even be any punishment. Here in Florida, they can kill at will and just claim they were nervous and afraid. Yeah, I know society will not profile them, but I do.

[mmonk]

12. Peaceful people should have places of refuge.

When society starts looking like Beirut, it's a little intimidating.

[djean111]

13. Here is my rule of thumb - no one needs to be showing off a gun when shopping.

And if people with guns who are drinking get irritated, enraged, or even just in an argument, they will use the guns.

[mmonk]

14. It's why I don't go to restaurants with bars if they don't have

a no weapons sign.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. And don't go to restaurants where guys are wearing ...

sport coats, fanny packs, or loose Hawaiian shirts. Anyone dressed like that could be carrying a gun.

Sign or no sign, you never know ...

[djean111]

17. Here in Florida - I know you are jeering, but yeah.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Only a little bit in jest

My own large Hawaiian shirts are intended to conceal the fact that I'm carrying some extra weight But other items can be, and statistically are, concealed under such a floral tent.

Of course, my shirts are no more effective at hiding the gut, than Trump's hair is effective in hiding his gleaming dome.

By comparison, guns are easy to conceal, and I'd assume they exist in most venues, regardless of signs and policy statements.

[djean111]

20. I know. All I can do is avoid the obvious. And edge away from raised voices.

If people with guns would just shoot each other, that would be sad, but a big improvement over being collateral damage or penalized for pissing someone off.

[Nye Bevan]

16. Do a lot of old white women in FL get shot by white men they don't know who are strutting with guns?

I don't recall reading about any such incidents, but perhaps I have missed those news stories. I suspect, however, that your "absolute terror" may be misplaced, and that statistically, an old white woman in Florida is more likely to be eaten by an alligator than be shot by some random white man strutting around with a gun.

[djean111]

18. As you very well know, what I meant was that anyone here can be a random target or an unfortunate

bystander. Oops! Collateral damage. I was just speaking to the "middle-aged white man" thing. No, they won't get profiled, and they can, evidently, kill with impunity.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. I am a middle aged white guy

I leave when I see guns, too.

[djean111]

23. Thank you. n/t

21. Been listening to Infowars lately?
