Former FedEx employee, he was interviewed last year by police because his mother was scared that he might want to commit "suicide by police".

If this guy turns out to have been white, I wonder how many people will try to make excuses for him due to stress about unemployment, uncertainty about cultural changes, or something like that, sort of like what happened with that guy who went to Rideau Hall armed to the teeth to try and have a "conversation" with Justin Trudeau.

Of course, if it turns out he's some shade of brown or black, he'll probably just be condemned as another example of how violent and savage "those people" are.

First off whatever race that this guy is, he was definitely screwed in the head. His own mother called the cops on him last year because she was afraid that he would commit suicide by cop. The FBI interviewed him last year.

Do you realize how fucked up someone would have to be for their own mother to call the cops on them? That totally fucks up someones life. The cops are not school councilors. Shit like that gets you put into serious files and databases. So I would chalk this one up as yet another failure of the mental health system in the U.S. regardless of the race of the shooter. We do not offer any REAL help as a society when it comes to mental health. We simply incarcerate and ruin lives with labels. The fear of being labeled a nutjob and put on numerous lists that keep people from attaining anything but the most menial labor jobs prevents many people from getting help.

That said, where do you see anyone in the U.S. attempting to make excuses for white mass murderers? Everyone that I know says to kill the sons of a bitches, and we do!!! What country kills more white murderers than the U.S.? I am going to go out on a limb and state (without doing one keystroke of research) that the U.S. kills more white murderers than the rest of the world combined. So lets cut the bullshit that the U.S. is somehow soft on white murderers. The U.S. KILLS white murderers. We kill them, and then we have to listen to a boatload of sanctimonious bullshit from people like you about what a bunch of barbarians that we are because we still have the death penalty. That is the truth of the matter. You bitch and moan nonstop when we put them in the dirt where they belong. So do not go creating some new alternate universe where the U.S. is soft on white murderers to fit some new bullshit left wing agenda where the U.S. is ran by a bunch of white supremist nazis. Its getting old as fuck already. If we were that racist we would have never elected a black man to occupy the White House for two terms in a country where blacks were only 40% of the population.

Pretty sure Jared meant 'soft in the court of public opinion' there Rick.

Any false narrative needs to be stopped though. White assholes with guns engaging in violence get killed in confrontations with the police just as much as black assholes with guns engaging in violence do. And the police take as many black gun violence perpetrators into custody if they surrender as they do white gun violence perpetrators. This thing that cops freak out and start blazing away when they see a black perp is nonsense, and not backed up statistically by any evidence at all. The recent release of DOJ and FBI statistics from 2019 absolutely prove it.

If anything the incidents of police violence against blacks has been declining as rapidly over the last two or three decades as much as violent police response has been declining across the board across the USA with all other demographics. Violence in the US is down, period. This is provable statistically and all the sensational "out of control cops" videos that hit the internet and get used in a reckless manner by race-baiters in the hard-left anti-police segment to froth up the mob won't change that reality.

Once again, race does not need to be injected into the mass-shooter problem. That's because it's altogether irrelevant to begin with and, even more so, simply because it only makes a terrible problem that much worse.

It's a distraction from the question of why so many crazy people are allowed to have guns.
