Every time a mass shooting occurs–either carried out or attempted–there is one of two outcomes. If the perpetrator is non-white, then it disappears from view.

We need not focus on the fact that the author is a D-list actor with no life experience outside the world make believe to recognize the raw bigotry and, dare I say, self-hatred involved in this tweet. Substitute any other racial or ethnic group in this puerile rant and young Sprouse would find himself hounded from Hollywood, if not from California. This was not a standalone item. It was augmented by various other outlets.
Huffington Post. “Powerful Take on Whiteness and Mass Shootings.”
Elle. If You Don’t Think Stephen Paddock “Fits the Mass Shooter Profile,” You Haven’t Been Paying Attention.
ThinkProgress. When we talk about mass shootings, we are talking about white men.
Newsweek. WHITE MEN HAVE COMMITTED MORE MASS SHOOTINGS THAN ANY OTHER GROUP.
CNN. How America has silently accepted the rage of white men.

Hmm, let’s see: Orlando was an islamo-fascist, Ford Hood = islamo fascist; San Bernadino = islamo-fascist... seems like a different pattern here. Oh and let’s not forget VA Tech = Asian; DC sniper = African American.

I don’t recognize the photo’s, nor the “featured shooters in 2013” - which I assume are the people in the photos.
Somebody post the article on Drudge about the prostitute. Paddock was a 911 truther. Not political, eh?
Yes, white liberal men, starting with themlike of Andrew Jackson on the Indians.
