Here's the ironic part of his blatantly obvious question. He apparently noticed the same thing we did about the racial makeup of the mass shooters and was naively trying to bait us with the question. You would have to be a complete moron not to notice the discrepency between that aspect of the photos and the media coverage which would lead one to believe that all mass shooters are white men. I would very much like to see a poll on that question. Might differ between parties but if I were a betting man I would guess that well over 75% of liberals would say white men as would a large percentage of conservatives. Much of that can be attributed to the media coverage but I suspect a lot of people would also be surprised at this group's definition of mass shooter. Using the term "mass" with the number 4 seems silly to me.
I also think this group did not consider the unintended consequences of pointing out that 10%-15% of the population is responsible for 75% of mass shootings in the U.S. I would also be willing to bet that the vast majority of those mass shootings by African Americans were with handguns that were obtained illegally although I haven't seen that kind of analysis. Finally, I would be willing to bet the ranch that not one of them voted for Trump. Kind of screws up the narrative doesn't it?
