I had to watch this a few times and imagine the pain the families are going through. I imagined the responses to those who tout 2A and additional gun laws won't work, and neither will additional background checks. I thought about how convenient it is to give the instant "mental illness" clause when someone who isn't a minority commits mass murder, yet when ONE illegal immigrant commits a murder, a law is passed, is guaranteed to make the news, and will become a political event. Muslims are paraded as "instant Jihadists" even if they have no intent on doing anything short of going to work and diagnosing your medical condition or working on your computers. But when one does commit a crime, it's going to be paraded as all hell is breaking loose, tighten immigration laws, and ban the hell out of em. Multiple laws will be proposed, it's guaranteed to make the news and become a political event . How come we cannot do the same when it's home grown? Now it's not a political event? How come we can give a "get out of jail free card" by labeling it as an "illness" when a white nationalist commits mass murder? Not a damn thing "ill" with this fool. Went through a few social media sites today, and the only real condemnation came from the families. Everything else was the pre-packed, reused, canned rhetoric we hear every single time. It's not the weapon, it's the person. Rather convenient when the person isn't a racial minority or a religious minority. No gun laws aren't the issue. Mental health isn't the issue. It's how we see, and react to each other when a home grown terrorist does this and the "pass" is given. The news anchor nails it. Nothing will change until WE change.

*exhales* I'll just copy and paste what I told a friend earlier.
"You're obviously passionate about what you believe in, but, I do not believe that taking away firearms from law abiding citizens will solve the issue of people who hold hate in their heart. Obviously the FBI was warned about this and didn't do a thing, but, how could they? At what point does our right to feel safe supersede another individual's rights? Where does that begin and where would that end? I'm sorry the government failed us yet again and I don't know where we need to go in order to fix this, but, I personally do not believe the government deserves more power, it obviously cannot handle such a thing and historically, it only abuses such a thing."
As for the white supremacist, I don't know if he was or not, but, from certain actions that he has taken, and if I had to venture a guess, I think he used them for the training.
Personally, I think we should take Nikolas Cruz out back and put him down like ol yeller and then wipe him from the history books.... there's no worse a fate than to be forgotten.

SSG (Join to see) - Body cams were one of THE BEST things to ever come into law enforcement. I'm a big fan of them, and thought it was funny how some jurisdictions had every excuse (DC fought for awhile) as to why they cannot get them, but leave it to CA to get them suddenly crime drops in a particular area (have to look up the city) and the exchanges between cops and the locals get better. That's even more of a reason for all to use em. It should be mandatory they're used across the law enforcement spectrum and like dash cams unable to be shut off or manipulated by the user. Or at least that should be the intent. Body cams just nabbed some bad cops in Baltimore. Sometimes it really can show the truth, even when an entire community has been screaming somethings wrong and no one believed them.
Some of the bodycam footage used to show how they did it was shown on the local news.

SSG Warren Swan - Parroting the reporters statements shows the same problematic issues. You should note that I stated that the information came from the reporter/broadcaster, and my summation was that it was foul of you to parrot them with this statement - "It's not a bad question, it's not even a political one....yet, but a solid question. The "simple" answer is no. There would be no "mental illness" if anyone else did the same ignorant ass crime."
All of this talk about marriage and divorce is hogwash. And in this particular case, adoption. And bottom line on this particular subject discussion - Hispanic, European, African, Asian, and American can be interchanged because what they are not a race, they are communities based on a common denominator such as place of origin or language.
When you parrot and dissiminate a false narative then you do or have fallen into the trap of their narative or agenda.

SSG Warren Swan - while body cams have enable us to police up the police, it has also empowered the police to do their job in situations where they would have just looked the other way. How many times this last year did we hear that the police did (insert accusation here) and when the footage was released it showed the complete opposite? Body Cams are a double edged sword and I do agree that they are one of the best things to come out.

They had his capture on the news, he was tackled football style by a herd of Cops from behind. He had no clue they were comming nor did he hear them approach. That is why he was not shot. Further he lived in a upperscale nieghborhood, was not wearing baggy layers of clothes in which a weapon could be concealed. He was wearing black jeans bloused into black Army combat boots, and a purple shirt.........no jacket. That is how he was dressed when he was tackled. He was walking non chalantly on what appeared to be his lawn towards his home with his back facing the street.....then WHAM!. They did not think they injured him in the aprehension but he complained about the tackle and they took him to the Hospital as a precaution to check him out medically.

Interesting that a Hispanic that used to be separate from Whites and by some considered to be 'brown skinned' or colored, is now a "white nationalist."
I see that it is convenient for some to ignore the fact that a Hispanic person can be of white, black, AND even Semitic (includes of Jewish and Arab origin), when it is convenient. All that statements like this does is to show and prove how ignorant (uneducated (for those of you that do not know the difference)) some of our fellow Americans really are.

Also in an earlier article posted on RP the White Supremacist Group recanted the statement and stated they made a mistake on the name. The poster of the article has a history of posting articles with click bait headlines and then not reading through the article themselves..........which I find humorous but yeah there are people that are posting here just to irritate others with little regard to what exactly their posted article contains.
