I saw a headline that "motive was unclear", so I knew immediately what the skin colors weren't. I didn't read further. Now with your post, I can infer what the skin colors were.

"Police have not confirmed a motive. The suspect faces 10 counts of murder.....
The suspect has been named as 21-year-old Ahmad Alissa."Judging by the suspect's name the motive was probably based on religious fanaticism or some superstition derived from religious belief or he is a nutter who shouldn't have had access to firearms in the first place. Maybe all of the above.

Well, if they are Muslim, it doesn't fit the narrative...

I never judged what happened based on a name or a skin color, maybe I am in fact more woke. Wow.

No, if you're Woke, you know some people, genders and skin colors are inherently bad.

It fits a different narrative pretty well. "Any time a muslim kills a load of rando's, he's a terrorist. Any time a white guy does it, he's suffering from mental illness."

Nah, I think you're behind the times. Things have changed. Terrorists are now domestic white supremacists. Muslims are a group of people that are mostly peace-loving and oppressed by Zionists....

It all depends on which particular bunch of bigots you listen to.

But then again, maybe none of the above.
What narrative might that be?

So it’s been super quiet about a narrative from the news. I was wondering why.
It will be an interesting day now.

Read two articles this afternoon that suggest racism against him made him an angry and paranoid person. So I can breathe safely again knowing white supremacy domestic terrorism with a twist is the cause.

Also Trump. This guy clearly was infuriated by that orange demon the racists elected. This sort of retribution, while regrettable, is also completely inevitable if we're going to elect someone like Trump. This blood is on the hands of Trump supporters.

If there's a shooting and the shooter is white:
Side 1: "Yes!"
Side 2: groanIf the shooter is not white, switch reactions.

I dunno. Side 1 is throwing parties, er, rallies, over factually false, totally fabricated motivations of the murderer. Side 2 has factual motivations on their side (presumably, in this case,) but still doesn't throw parties to celebrate the confirmation of their biases.

Call me cruel, but I can't really process the human tragedy in these sort of events anymore.
It's too frequent. It blends into life's many unfairnesses that kill people everyday (child starvation, cancer, car crashes, etc.)
You aggregate those up, and they're big numbers every day. But people don't stop and think about the daily tragedy since they're commonplace and unavoidable.
I think for many - the narrative value of these things are much more real for their life than the sadness.

I am entirely convinced of that.
But I don't really think the right is as bloodthirsty in their desire to see Islamic violence as the left is in its desire to see "white supremacy" violence.

I made a call to Boulder to check in on someone. It was real to me and these tragedies are awful.
