On the other hand, 100 people per day ( 36,000/year) die in auto accidents in the USA and no one seems to care.

That's something like 0.0001% of the populationOriginally Posted by francois
Your defining word is "accidents". Any normal person understands the concept that there are reasonable and statistical odds of driving on roads and having an accident of some kind.
But I doubt that behind 'any accident' lives a 21 year old Nazi with an assault machine gun in a Walmart Store planning to finish you off.
Your comparison is more NRA pablum than reasonable analogy.

Do you have any evidence of "Nazi" sympathies?" Both shooters from last weekend were more left-wing than otherwise. One sounds like a died-in-the-wool Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren supporter. The other was obsessed with global warming and over-population
Controversial.
But after these seemingly ever more frequent incidents occur I do enjoy watching the interviews.
I love hearing the NRA spokesman saying the problem is that more guns are needed in schools, hospitals and Wal Mart etc. I equally enjoy watching the open mouthed interviewer wondering where to go next.
America is a country born out of the barrel of a gun and they've been shooting each other ever since.

In regards to the El Paso murderer, the only thing that is anywhere close to being a leftie is that he stole the name of his so called 'Manifesto' from Al Gore. Other than that ... yep, a Nazi to the core, with a stench of Mein Kampf.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/05/us/el...ius/index.htmlSuspect wrote a 'manifesto,' police say
Crusius is believed to have authored a racist, anti-immigrant document that laid out a dark vision of America overrun by Hispanic immigrants.
With the hate-filled writing, which authorities called a 'manifesto,' were the words: "I'm probably going to die today."
The four-page document, titled "The Inconvenient Truth," was published on the online message board 8chan about 20 minutes before the shooting. The writing is filled with white supremacist language and racist hatred aimed at immigrants and Latinos, and the author says he opposes "race mixing" and encourages immigrants to return to their home countries.
The Dayton shooter is more obtuse, but hardly a liberal. Sounds closer to Trumps insistence that all mass murderers are mentally ill ... in his childish and simplistic way.

On reflection - and it shouldn't take a boy genius to recognise this - there's a long association between the eco-nazis known as the "Greens" and Nazism so perhaps "Nazi" is an apposite epithet. Hitler was very keen on conservation and tree-planting, and the modern Greens parties have their origin in post-war Germany. He too was interested in keeping the German race pure - although given America's long history of immigration there can't be much that's racially pure among such mongrels
mass murders happen in all western societies....its called abortion...but nobody cares
Your Catholic schoolboy morality is shining through. Abortion on demand was once - and maybe still is - the most popular form of birth control in Japan, hardly a Western society

I am just stating a fact, Smiles. No one is doing anything about the high auto death rate and no one is doing anything about the mass shootings.
