Yesterday it was a Muslim in a mass shooting. Today it’s a Cuban/Mexican (by what his name is and what he looks like).
Before, it was all sorts of others doing the mass shootings. It seems to be part of our culture to do mass shootings...

Mass shootings/killings have been part of our society for a long while now... On and on it goes...
How long before the media and the left will call for seizure of guns from honest, law-abiding citizens, while deliberately and with full awareness leaving them in the hands of criminals.
Yes the media is now saying he is suffering from DELAYED stress from being terminated TWO years ago.
I AM SICK OF THE KILLERS BEING PORTRAYED AS VICTIMS.
STOP THE MADNESS.
They’re whipping up the anti-gun movement again.
So let me guess, they’re now going to spend more time covering this, and saying about “general mass shootings” than covering the 1st major terrorist attack (on an army base, no less) on US soil since 9/11
