When it’s a lone woman shooting up a bunch of people, I think we can finally say the shooter “doesn’t fit the usual profile.”

Gale King said that this morning on CBS. “It’s so hard because he doesn’t fit any kind of profile.”

Listened to my Up First podcasts this morning AFTER I finished listening to the More Perfect episode on the Korematsu decision. I was SCREAMING at Judge Posner in my mirror with his blithe, unbothered defense of complete disregard of due process and equal protection for any racial group the president unilaterally…

I read that too, but I’m skeptical. I mean I suppose anything is possible but a white baby boomer from rural Nevada seems like an unlikely candidate for a late-in-life conversion to militant Islam. Maybe it’ll turn out to be true, but at this point I’m more inclined to believe that ISIS wants the credit for such a…

I’d like to point out that a guy just committed an act of terror in Edmonton but he wasn’t able to actually kill anyone because up here you can’t go into your local Wal-Mart and pick up a semi automatic firearm.

The point of the original statement from gun lovers is that these people would commit these acts whether they had a gun or not but that’s clearly nonsense. Of course, people kill people but there wouldn’t be this mass killing if we made guns harder to get. No one needs a machine gun or automatic rifle and no one needs…

Gun issue aside. Watching this is sad because it reminds me of a time when a president could speak intelligently in public.

As a general rule black people only shoot at a specific target, we don’t shoot at randos. I know black ppl aren’t the only ones who attend rap concerts...

Yup, and the old ‘guns don’t kill people, people kill people’. Ugh. People with access to many, many guns commit these acts - they wouldn’t be able to (or at least wouldn’t do as much damage) if our gun control laws were stricter.

I want to punch all of the reporters pointing out that he doesn’t “fit the usual profile” not only because of his age but because he is white. Some of them have practically said straight out that it can’t be terrorism because he is white. But of course, most acts of terrorism in this country have been committed by…

Why do you own semi automatic weapons - what do you plan to shoot with them?

I’ve fired firearms. I don’t intend to own any, but I was trained in gun safety and how to shoot by an NRA safety instructor I knew from church who was a Korean War vet. The man was actually for common sense gun legislation because he knew first-hand the kind of damage firearms can do.

I’m assuming this tweet came out after they found out the gunman was an old white guy because it doesn’t mention terrorists or his travel ban.

I used to live in Madison, WI and I’ve heard from friends since I’ve left that a number of the college bars downtown have tried to ban rap music for this reason. It’s not like I regularly witnessed fights outside either of the country bars in town. No siree!

Just need to point out that, once again, white dude killing dozens of innocent people, but the “Muslim Ban” is what’s going to keep us all safe.

Pretty much. We’re in denial about our guns and mental health issues, and doubling down.

Yes, the “fake news.” About them DYING. Don’t believe your reality, Puerto Rico, it’s fake news!

True, but then I remember she did nothing to deserve her fame and fortune in the first place and wonder if we’d have fewer problems if we’d stop giving people like this money.

Ok this is an aside, but I really hope they don’t let that child get any plastic surgery before she’s an adult, because oh my goodness North is a beautiful little girl! The older she gets the more I love her expressions. And her eyes, jeez. What a cutie.

This information always makes me so fucking infuriated. You know what’s medically dangerous? PREGNANCY. With an abortion, you get some anesthesia and zip bop bippity pop, it’s done. With my C-section, they gutted me open, put my uterus and intestine on my belly, and then sewed it all back into place. I couldn’t walk…
