7 Dead, Several Others Shot At Pittsburgh Synagogue

Enlightenment, however unlikely, is the optimal outcome. There is value in redemption and none in death.

I see a lot of value in the death of such creatures. First of all they cease to exist, which is quite beneficial to their environment.

If the shooter was a Muslim, Swampy would be all over this. Since it was a white guy, he's got restraint.

Let's not be fooled that these people feel emboldened under Trump. We can argue whether it is true or not but THEY believe it is true.

Don't know what you're reading but the shooter hated Jews and Trump ...

Well, since Trump's grandchildren are Jews, that would be consistent.

Oh please. That's emotion based. From a social standpoint, there is no value in death. There is value in redemption. However unlikely, it's stupid to throw away a lottery ticket.

It's because of ignorant comments like yours the country is so divided.
 
It says a lot about the current state of gun America that when I see a city trending on Twitter when there is no live sporting event on, I immediately know they are talking about a shooting.

I'm not going after minorities-I'm showing how stupid your comments are. I'm citing facts from the Mother Jones database that tracks every US mass murder since 1982. You babble. You regurgitate populist **** because you think you know something. You dont. You wouldnt know a fact if it bit you in the ass. You are the only one talking out of your ass. Again.

And yet, since 1982, the statistics show that the overwhelming majority of such shooters have been white men.

You're not fooling anyone but yourself here.

Trump was a RINO to this right wing loon? Wow.

Most likely a racist anti-semitic neo-liberal who also believes in conspiracy theories. This **** is getting out of hand. But when someone believes in CTs the whole rest of their political identity is skewered depending on how much they believe them.

Yep, it will likely be called either racial or political within a post or two.

Historically, nearly every mass shooting has been racially or politically motivated.

It's the most practical solution. Creates deterrence and ends the existence of the threat thus a 100% guarantee of preventing that threat from ever acting again.

You know cheering death is wrong. You know it's zero value. You know redemption inspires us all. Stop taking the emotional position.

That crap hurts interventionism and brings all your positions into question. Rage isn't worth it.

Uh, actually the opposite is true. But, sure. If the shooting happens in a black church or a synagogue, like this one, then we can bet that it is.

First you say 16 of last 30, now you're saying since 1982. You don't even know what you're lying about, do you?

Actually, what history proves is that since 1982, the incidents of 'mass murder' break down approximately in line with societal racial divides, but in the last several years that has shifted. And you would KNOW the facts if you actually READ them rather than just regurgitated stupid **** you were spoon fed by people who knew you would eagerly swallow it.

Heres what YOU 'know'. You 'know' school shootings. Thats literally all you know. You equate the incidents of school shootings...the events that get the most attention...with ALL mass shootings. You COMPLETELY ignore the 'mass shootings' that anti gun groups cite in THEIR numbers...because those 'mass shootings' are the common weekend occurrence gang and drug related shootings and those by a LARGE majority involve minority shooters AND victims.

Nah...you bleat on thinking you 'know' something...and you dont. You are embarrassing yourself. You should stop.

You wont.

THATS what is truly sad.
