ETA so he's definitely alive, they confirmed that he sat up. Hopefully that means he's not fatally wounded.

If I hear anybody else say something like "Oh but they aren't white, the news said they were muslims"
I am going to curb stomp some people.
White people can be muslim.
Stop trying to push this tragedy on another race just so you have an entire race to blame. This is about a handful of AWFUL PEOPLE. Not a religion, not a race.
I don't feel bad for saying that when the suspects were IDed I took a tiny sigh of RELIEF because yea,if a white person does something horrible and runs, it's a mad man on the loose (usually a misled, misunderstood, crazy, etc.. man, but just a mad man basically)
when someone of a different race does something crazy it's a reflection upon the entire race and DOES end up in racist backlash. Big time.
If one more MORON frikin asks me how I feel about the boston marathon bombings "as a middle eastern person" (which for the record, regardless of the tan skin and dark hair, I am not) I am going to lose it.
How do you feel about the sandy hook school shootings, as a white person?
Not so pleasant when people assume you have some personal connection or POV to a tragedy because of your race now is it?

I know, I'm so disgusted. The moment so many people I've seen found out where they were from, the racist ugliness appeared.

Oh I don't know. I saw A LOT of "right wing whack jobs" and "tea baggers" thrown around before they had any suspects. if you are white and doing these things it's just assumed you are a right wing fanatic, Christian lunatic or tea party whacko....
Might not be about an entire race but bigotry flies in all directions.
When the Sandy hook guy was caught I don't recall people being all "oh it's so sad... what a misguided young white man". People were pissed and I don't think anyone took pity on the shooter.
I just want to know WHAT ON EARTH ... what kind of EVIL has to take over the heart for people to want to do these things especially at the tender age of 19? how can you have so much anger, so much hatred, such an inhumanity in you that you want to do this
