CNN said there were 7 mass shootings in 7 days and I clicked the link because the only two I heard of were Atlanta and now Colorado:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/23/us/7-mass-shootings-7-days-trnd/index.html

Like Jason said the color of the person's skin is irrelevant.  Anyone who shoots random people, shoots into a crowd of people, pulls out a gun in a club and so on lack a normally functioning brain or just doesn't give a crap. 

Most of those happened in minority communities so people don’t care about it as much. 10 people dying in a weekend in Chicago is common but doesn’t make the National news. Then again, if gang members and drug dealers kill each other it’s not so bad. It’s the drive by shootings that are making a comeback and that is where innocent people get caught in the cross fire. We need to go back to locking up gang members and other pieces of shit like that.

Ha. So now the color of their skin doesn't matter.

That was kind of my point but I didn't want to turn the discussion there.  Some unhinged white guy shoots innocent people and it's dominating the news.  Other mass shootings happen at a vigil, in clubs, in major cities and at illegal parties and they don't get the same attention.  Until enough people realize not every problem boils down to race like the media loves to make it out to be and that we have a people problem I don't expect much progress.  Pitting people against each other is what our politicians and media thrive on and unfortunately it works too well.

He was probably bullied by white supremacists so he decided to shoot everyone.

Last week the race of the victims was the most important thing and it created hash tags. Does the race if the victims in Colorado matter as much?

Oops. A lot of people should feel stupid today. 

That maniac lives in the same city as my sister's family, apparently.

People here are into racial profiling

Probably.  Boulder is 87% white.

There is a brewery about half way between Boulder and Denver called Gravity. Pretty good beer. I stole a glass from them.

Yes, if we only had a law banning guns. The shooter obviously is a law abiding citizen

I've been there a couple times.  

I may have been to more breweries in Colorado than California.

Glasses are complimentary to whites there. Considered larceny for blacks

Malt liquor is probably more accurate

The man that started that company (along with his wife?) ... now brewery...  is cool.  Unmistakable voice that you can hear a mile away.  Incredibly friendly.   Not sure how the marketing is going.  The beer is meh.

The guy was known by the FBI and still allowed to legally buy this weapon.
