Always fascinating how a white mass-murderer is “a person of interest” and a Black guy stealing a sandwich is “a drug-addict low-life thug”.

"It's too early to talk about this"
"Lone wolf"
"Difficult childhood"
"Mental health something-or-other"
"We need more good guys with guns"Ad infinitum—this is so extremely, utterly and deeply fucked-up when there's a simple solution for all these mass-shootings.
There's simply no words for the sheer level of selfish assholery some people in this country possess.

Longer term gun culture needs to be dismantled and everything but with some exceptions (hunting, sports; only with license that requires showing need, competence and with regular medical checkups) need to be illegal.
Like in other countries that don't have this problem.
