Active shooting situation in El Paso mall

Do you have proof that he shot his sister because she was a Democrat? Also, the shooter at the Garlic festival was half Iranian!

As others have noted, but to add further clarity, he was half Persian, an ethnic group that considers itself (and is considered) white.

Iranian is a nationality, not a race. Just as citizen of the United States of America does not indicate skin color.

Can I just say, I have mad love for some of you right now.

not many are suggesting that. when a first grade class got shut up the one request fro grieving parents was to outlaw high capacity magazine, a product that has no use other than mass killings. Not required for any legitimate gun use. Not much to ask for such a tragic event. Of course it never even got a vote.

FWIW, the murderer in Texas was a supporter of a frequent guest of the radio personality who claimed Sandy Hook was a hoax. It’s all connected.

Even so, sociopathy does not inherently make someone violent. 1 in every 25 people is a sociopath. It's not the mental illness that is the problem here.

A sociopath who has such a manifesto and spews such thoughts on social media might be worthy of being flagged though.

We have asked several times not to bring politics, discussions of gun control, etc., to these forums. The Community Board was created for people who bonded over Disney to talk about other things. This is a family forum, and conversations that bring us together are welcome. Thoughtful conversations are also welcome. Disagreeing with each other's opinion is fine. However, insulting people that have different opinions is not okay. Insulting each other's beliefs and ideals is also not okay here on these boards.

Discussions that are used to further one's agenda on hot topic subject matters are not in the spirit of these forums. Are we going to have to shut down all threads after the first post because people cannot follow these simple guidelines? Take your discussions to other places that are open to them. Do not bring them to the DIS. If you can't find another place then create your own discussion boards where posters can follow your rules or non-rules.

Unfortunately, I had to close this thread and delete several unsavory posts.
