SFC (Join to see) - I did not realize this. Thank you for pointing that out. If it's an intended feature of the website then it isn't her fault for using it, even if I disagree with why it even exists in the first place.

This is a fine piece of propaganda but little else. There is no over arching definition of mass shooting. If you claim the definition of mass shooter as over three people shot Chicago has over 100 mass shooters unidentified because nobody will identify them because the people are terrorized. The shooter in Daytona was an Antifa supporting, Elizabeth Warren supporting leftest.. Did that fit in to this narrative? I find this article very disingenuous. https://www.teamblind.com/article/2019-Mass-Shooters-dA4e846F. Take this with a grain of salt b cause it depends on how mass shooter, terrorists etc is defined.

Ray Stone, you're the only race baiting racist here. Trump is your president and commander in chief. Grow up, show respect and stop acting like an immature child.

Wiki lists 248 mass shootings BUT only about 25 of those met the federal definition of mass shootings. some of the25 were domestic shootings or defensive actions.

The shooter in Dayton was a Bernie supporter as such I find it a bit of a stretch in saying that all mass shootings are the result of white nationalist ideology. If anything I would say the aggressive push to accelerate the mulikulturalism is in fact part of the problem. Societies have traditional intermixed very slowly. At time even at a slower pace cultures intermixing is a violent affair just like in Rwandan.

I would bet that the more cultures you rapidly place per square mile results in more violence. It would explain why Iceland which has a lot of guns does not have the same level of violence - they only have one culture there.

That said I feel most in America do not support radical racial ideologies - as well most would not condone murder regardless of culture differences.

PO3 (Join to see) - Posting a vid of a Black Trump supporter proves what. Candace is a loon, rather ironic that she seemed to care years ago about white supremacists as she called the NAACP for help when called the N word and threatened by white boys. Try again

SSgt Ray Stone - My point I'm trying to make is that previous administration's approaches to immigration have as well helped in feeding the the white nationalist ideology.

The crisis at the border is the result of many many years of non-enforcement of our immigration laws and as such has as well stoked racial tensions especially for those who embrace the white nationalist ideology. I'd like to know the numbers on those that have taking on white nationalism due to previous policy vs Trump's rhetoric. Betting its a combination of both not one or the other. The author completely ignores the impacts of previous policy - like that of Obama - and who that has as well created racial tensions.

I'm not defending hate, racism or the white nationalist ideology just trying to understand where it is derived from. Trying to understanding the motivation of a hate is not the same as condoning it. In order to solve any problem you need to be able to define the problem and I feel the other has only defined part of the problem.

The article only points the finger towards the right - the extremes for the alt-right and alt-left are both condoning violence. If anything America's political fracture is pushing more and more to the extremes. No one from either side is interested in leading from the middle anymore - left or right. However regardless of our leadership failures "everyone", left and right, needs to look inward and denounce anyone who is suggesting violence as a form of policy or political change as the more this goes on the closer we get to civil unrest and a real crisis.

This goes for you and me -

What are your views on the shooter in Dayton? What about the extreme left and ANTIFA condoning violence? What about their hate? These guys are listed as domestic terrorist group. The shooter in Dayton was a big ANTIFA supporter? Where's the ANTIFA crisis in America?

Left needs to fix far left and right needs to fix far right as either side trying to address the opposition will more than likely not be appreciated and result in more violence.
