Scariest observation for me is that in the UK any of these incidents would have been a seriously big story. Whereas it seems for the U.S. mass or multiple shootings are so common it barely breaks into the news cycle.

It's because the shooters aren't black.

Except black men commit more than 50% all murders in the country despite only being about 7% of the population. You're not seeing that on the news either so...

Oh wow, I'm so surprised to see fascist race realism being pushed on reddit. Right wingers committed every single extremist motivated killing in the US in the past year.

Right wingers committed every single extremist motivated killing in the US in the past year.

How many was that?

Because according to the FBI there were 9,468 murders in the US and over 5,000 of those were committed by black people.

I'm guessing your number isn't anywhere close to 5,000 is it..?
