    White American man kills 58 in Las Vegas
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting

    If I was bothered I could link to dozens of massacres by white "true Americans"

    But a racist would never be bothered about such massacres

    That thread title looks like the OP is really really excited about this. Yay!

    To be fair that article is old...and we'd want to be living under a rock to not know about and remember that. Don't play the racist card..... It cheapens out racism. Take this post for what it is a statement of fact, rather than try to add a racist slant to it.

    Iranians are usually Shia, those who support Isis are usually Sunni. Just as a piece of vaguely related info. Could also prove to be completely wrong in this case.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    We don't know that the thread title is true at this stage (that the attacker is Iranian). That was reported by one local news outlet and picked up upon by others, but the German authorities haven't released that information at this stage. Here's what they have said:

    "The identity of the perpetrator has been clarified: a 34-year-old German citizen resident in Lübeck. There are currently no indications the man was political radicalised and no signs of a terrorist background."

    The reason that the OP mentions a nationality is just clickbait, because the usual suspects just love the Islamic Terrorism angle.
    We should probably hold fire until the actual facts are known.

    No, just factual.

    You'll find Irish people enjoy facts.

    Not fiction.

    What has the US problem got to do with germany? Another point on US murders is that black people are the main perpetrators of the murders of blacks people in the US. Is that because they are black? No. It’s the equivalent of linking that Las Vegas massacre to the fact the shooter was white. The problems are US specific. The Islamic terror attacks in Europe are a problem different to the US problem.

    OP is presumably trying to further an agenda that immigration is bad.

    For every 20 threads trying to make this point, 19 prove to not prove it.

    Can we just not do this every ****ing time?

    It only seems to matter to you...so I can't answer your question.

    Next some sjw will bring up that more people die in traffic than are murdered. So apparently there is nothing to worry about, just carry on and hope no-one you care about is on the wrong bus..

    I've seen this a lot on boards. Who are these "usual suspects" you speak off?


    Also just out of curiosity, what is your opinion on catholicism?
