Don’t think anyone should be embarrassed about it other than the perpetrator himself, although I doubt he will be embarrassed due to his mental health issues.
No point in pretending there is some massive racist problem when one white guy (out of 20 million people in New York State) commits an act like this. It’s shifting the narrative somewhat intentionally.
There is certainly a mental health issue in New York State though, anyone who has been there can tell you that. The subways are almost no go zones.
This guy was held for a mental health evaluation last year and made threats against his high school.
Didn’t hear too much about black supremacy when that racist black male ran over scores of white people in Waukesha. 5 dead and 40 wounded in that attack.
I suppose it depends how you want to view these things. I would suggest these events are largely down to a decline of the national mental health standards.
There was also a shooting in a Brooklyn subway a few weeks back that wasn’t spoken about on here. Don’t think that’s down to any sort of agenda other than these shootings becoming somewhat normalised.

I think you should. You have denied the huge racism problem in the US, you deny that this is being perpetuated by right wing media (stand up Tucker) and the right of the GOP. It this was perpetuated by BLM or an islamist attack you would be all over it. Usual lack of principles on here (not principals-please note).
Had enough of the right wing take over on here.
So bye!

I have never been able to understand what white supremacists, black supremacists, Islamic terrorists and all extremists/others expect to achieve by spree killing 5,10, 20, 30, 40 or 50+ innocents when the vast of majority opinion is (and always will be) against them.
Thousands killed on 9-11 and the entire world continued... Laughable that you've got wasted lives of individuals rotting away in miserable hellholes of Rikers Island type prisons where they sit to be worthless and ignored with forever forgotten man-child manifestos. Like I said losers!

You think I should be embarrassed because a kid with clear and documented mental health issues shot people in a shop? I understand you like to use these things to promote your false left wing agenda based on complete mistruths, but you really shouldn’t take it out on the posters of this forum.
I haven’t denied anything. I have factually given context and data to wild sweeping statements like you tried to do in the OP.
You didn’t say the murders in Waukesha were proof of the massive anti white problem in the US, did you? So it’s quite ironic that you make that point to me.
You have dramatically left this place before only to return a day or so later to continue to peddle this nonsense so I don’t expect this time will be any different.
You may want a racist world, but sadly for your narrative - it’s extremely rare.

Well this guy was just unhinged, I don’t think he wanted to achieve anything other than destruction.
But it is funny that the same people trying to make out there is some white racist problem, would be the first to call someone racist for saying there was an Islamic terrorist problem after a planned an organised attack by a terror cell.
That’s the difference between those that identify as the left and everyone else. One side blurts out nonsense driven by emotion, the other discusses things based on reality and facts.
This thread is a prime example of this extreme left type of thing that is poisoning society and trying to drive a wedge between people based on myths.
For shame.

Otherwise known as The Great Replacement Theory if that helps.
I'd suggest that if an opinion news show was going to report on a news story they'd do it in the immediate aftermath.
The fact Carlson has talks about it 400 times previously yet not in 3 days after a mass shooting where the killer's 'manifeso' contains it is somewhat telling.

Mental patients manifestos aren’t really the bastion of literature to take seriously, I highly doubt it’s shaping the way media is approaching the news.
I just don’t know why people can’t approach these things honestly. A kid who has serious mental health issues, after threatening murder suicide plots against his own high school, tragically shot people in a shop.
Pretending it was people’s fault other than his, is just wrong. This kid was clearly going to end up doing something similar to this, whether it was his school, a shop, his place of work - whatever.
I’d be more focussed on the declining mental health issues the state is suffering from at the moment and also the declining effectiveness of the police force in the state. Crime is up all over.
Using it as a political tool probably isn’t the best approach for it, especially when the people using it as a tool completely ignored incidents like Waukesha.

One messed up country regarding gun laws with armour piercing ammunition and expanding dum-dum bullets about.
And .50 caliber sniper rifles with a range close to 2,000 yards. Nuts! The IRA South Armagh brigades most feared weapon! The U.S gun laws are an absolute disgrace! Thank God these never make it through U.S/U.K customs!
Somebody sent me a video yesterday on WhatsApp of the start of these shootings after Five seconds of watching I deleted it and blocked the number absolutely disgusting that people spread these vile videos

Don't get me wrong the shooter may very well be mentally ill, but I assume the prosecution/jurisdiction may question the validity of mental illness diagnosis by the facts that he had written his manifesto, pre-planned his attack and live-fed his shootings. Is someone that does that of sane or insane mind?

Sounds pretty mentally ill to me. Not what one would call normal behaviour is it…
But there is a difference between being mentally unwell and being unfit to stand trial. I fully expect he will stand trial and be behind bars for the rest of his life.
But it would be foolish to ignore the obvious nature behind his behaviour and his documented mental evaluations. Not something I imagine too many teenagers have had before their 18th birthday. This wasn’t a normal bloke acting on his bigotry, this is a disturbed teenager who threatened to commit mass murder on his school and kill himself in the process.
Pretending this is now par for the course and a problem America is facing based on race is just false. It’s fear mongering for political gain.
There is a mental health epidemic there, largely brought on by the opioid crisis. Combined with gun access, it’s a recipe for these things to happen. Which of course they did a couple of weeks ago in the Brooklyn subway, but of course nobody cares about that because you can’t make a race or political narrative out of it.

He had a previous mental health/psychiatric patient hospitalisation that would without doubt give credence to mental health defense. It'll be interesting to see if his mental health at the time of the shootings will be explored or challenged?

And what a loser that shooter was! Apparently he wanted a race war where his dream would have meant loads of innocent whites being murdered because his lot would have murdered loads of innocent blacks! How much he cares for his beloved race hey?
These extremists and irrational thinkers of all beliefs are so unwitting and have a lack of self awareness, common sense and critical thinking ability that's absolutely staggering!

Fan? I think he’s a fantastic reporter, but not sure what that has to do with anything?
Was there evidence of any mental health history of the killer in Waukesha then? A seasoned criminal, but I don’t seem to remember any evidence of previous mental health issues.
Do you think it was a shining example of racism towards white people in Waukesha that the leftist media refused to report on?
I mean, let’s have some balance here.
