In custody?  My only question is, how old is this angry white male?

Reports are saying he was a white man in his mid 30's.

 

 

 

I am so sorry that this happened to the victims and their families. This just keeps on happening without any real change being made to stop it or at least reduce the frequency of it.

Can't wait for the BoycottWalmart tags trending on Twitter, even though most of the people in their communities have little to no choice but to shop at Walmart (or the dollar store). 

 

I guess blaming video games wasn't cutting it anymore. 

 

Laws are not changing anytime soon, even if a Democrat wins the White House, so this is the only real way forward. 

The shooting that is so far, garnering little attention.  I suspect Trump won't use this mass shooting as a distraction talking point, since the victims (as well as the assailants) are Latino.  Two of the the victims are also Mexican nationals.

 

KCK MASS SHOOTING: Scenes from the Tequila KC Bar. 9 people shot. 4 dead. Witnesses in the bar tell @kmbc they heard about a minute of shooting. People started running and hiding. They say a man who got kicked out of the bar, came back and shot ppl. Vigil planned at 7pm. pic.twitter.com/FE3Kpg9Ext

If anything, he'll use this to justify restricting the borders even further.  (Get ready for the snakes and crocodiles and the bullets to the knees, ladies and gentlemen.)

Didn't this happen late Saturday night/early Sunday?  He still hasn't mentioned it.

I can't keep up with all those shootings anymore. Can barely read the news sometimes. Tragedy before breakfast.

Boy, those "thoughts and prayers" are REALLY doing the job.  [/sarcasm]

Terrible how little people care about kids.

Unfortunately this thread should be bumped up.

Given the tragic events in Colorado.

Yes, I guess the lull in mass shootings is over. First those poor spa workers and now 10 people at a grocery store. It's heartbreaking to think of how much damage one person can do.

Even sadder is no one will care and nothing will get done. The best I can say is this time we probably won't be hearing the police and some press trying to make us feel sympathy for the shooter and ignore the victims.
