Is the Colorado theater shooter gay? Wonder if any investigative journalism is going to take place to see if he is or not.
Hey, I pretty much always jump to conclusions when I hear of things like this.
In this case, I simply think “white guy” - and I’m right again. It’s the profile. Shockingly I’ve been wrong a few times the last couple years - the “snipers” were black (and Moslem), the Ft. Hood thing, and an oriental guy for VA Tech. But those seem to be the exceptions rather than the rule.
Otherwise, though, I’m not going to tack on my view of what he should be like, until I hear more details.
And frankly, it’s not what the person’s description is, so much as what his motivation is. These white-guy mass shootings basically never have much motive except “I’m a jackass and want to shoot up people cuz I’m mad”. He could be homo but that has nothing to do with the crime; he could be raised Christian but that is not his motivation for doing it.
