I wonder how the GOP/right will respond to yet another shooting. Let me guess....if it's a white shooter, he/she has "mental problems", and if it is a non-white shooter, it is a "terrorist" or "thug", right?

They can just ignore or victim blame like Colorado
They're saying it started in the regional center. Man, I'm scared for those people I'm hoping those who were there for help are not blaming themselves. My brother, who goes to a different regional center, tends to blame himself for bad things that happen like this. He's definitely never been in a situation like this, but fires, car accidents, or earthquakes sometimes.
Developmental Disabilities like Autism and the like?
Could be autism in addition to diagnoses like Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injuries, etc. I worked with that population for a long time.
I am so sickened by more gun violence in this country. I am just so angry and sad.
Ah, so they are mentally ill. Phew, thought this might be terrorism.
Probably loners ETA: In no way do I intend to make light of this situation. Just sharing what I heard and I guess emphasizing the hypocrisy. I hate to make it political, but you know it will be. CNN did a side-by-side of the ways white versus non-white terrorists and their families were profiled. It is staggering and I know I'd be preaching to the choir.
