That saved some time, I guess. At least no one else was hurt. And now the report of him being a quite loner that kept to himself in the next couple of days.

Supposedly the shooter was from the same station, and some people are saying it's a relationship motive - the reporter and cameraman were in a relationship together.

Not everything in life needs to be funny. There is a time and a place. There are enough funny things in life that we don't need to lighten up someone being shot to death.

A posted that article to highlight the dark side of PC culture people choose to champion. If anybody says something that can be construed as racist, they can be marked for death.

you seriously lack empathy and intelligence if you think pc culture is responsible for a mentally unstable man who thinks shooting people for racist comments is ok

Williams tweeted after alleging Parker had made "racist comments" about him.

The shooter used that as a justification for killing two people in cold blood. That is not ok.

this runs much deeper than pc culture... pc culture is more of a lighter symptom of the same underlying tension, but it itself is definitely not the cause

I am unsure if you are trolling or delusional. We don't know why he did it, only what he said.

I'm trying to figure out exactly when we stopped judging people to simply be crazy when they do heinous things, and when we started bending over backwards to suss out some kind of justification or rationale for the heinous acts.

justifications and rationales can be crazy, but sometimes they can be telling of something regardless

unfortunately, i'd say most people glean the wrong messages from attempting to analyze such things... mostly people just uphold their own biases

My main question is what this has to do with US Politics, rather than just "fucked up things that happen to have happened in the US". People get murdered all the time, for the most inane reasons. This one happened to be captured on TV, other than that, it is no more or less fucked up than other murders. I don't think it was a political statement. It was just some lunatic with a gun. Now you can maybe restart the endless discussion over gun control laws, but other than that, let the justice system deal with it and lets move on?

When the number rose to such heights that people started looking for an underlying cause.

"There is nothing we could have done" says the only nation where it happens on a regular basis.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

i suspect the main reason it's being discussed here is nobody made a thread for it, but people wanted to post about it anyway.

yeah it's not a very good topic for this thread, probably.

Also just calling them "crazy" is an easy out. They could be completely lucid in their desire to kill others. We label folks like this as crazy because its easier to assume they are broken and that is was caused the violence. It also makes it easier to to convince ourselves that we couldn't have done anything and it was beyond our control. Trying to figure out if we could have stopped it is harder and might expose how we failed. Not to say every violent act like this could be prevented, but we seem accept that we couldn't much earlier.

So the shooter included that they made racist statements for no reason? That was his motive. The PC movement contributed to this motive, thus the PC culture has blood on its hands. Someone offending you dose not give you the right to kill them.
