Commenter Antonymous looks up who perpetrated the last 25 mass shootings/bombings according to the Los Angeles Times list of “Deadliest U.S. Mass Shootings:”
Kamikaze killers are aptly named, in that they are largely committed by foreign or non-traditional Americans.In the last ten years, there have been 16 mass shootings/bombings by non-whites, primarily immigrants and/or muslims — most of which targeted whites. There were 9 mass shooting by whites, only two of which were racially motivated. Contrary to the current narrative, whites are significantly overrepresented as *victims* and underrepresented as perpetrators.Non-white perpetrators of mass shootings since 2007:(1) Roseburg OR — Biracial black-identified man (targeted white Christians, specifically asking their religion before killing)(2) Fort Hood TX (2009) — Palestinian Muslim(3) Fort Hood TX (2014) — Hispanic man(4) Santa Barbara CA — BiracialMoroccan[Malaysian-English] man (targeted white college women, angry over rejection) [but also stabbed to death a bunch of his Asian roommates, but nobody remembers those poor bastards](5) Virginia Tech VA — Korean immigrant(6) Washington DC (naval yard) — Black man(7) Binghamton NY — Vietnamese immigrant(8) San Bernardino CA — Pakistani and Yemeni Muslim immigrants, Al Quaeda / ISIS affiliated(9) Orlando FL — Afghan Muslim, ISIS affiliated(10) Boston MA — Caucasus Muslim immigrants(11) Chattanooga TN — Palestinian-Jordanian Muslim immigrant, ISIS affiliated(12) Santa Monica CA — Lebanese Muslim(?) [first name John, so more likely a Christian Arab](13) Brookfield WI — Jamaican immigrant(14) Oakland CA — Korean immigrant(15) Manchester CT — Black man [targeting white coworkers](16) Salt Lake UT — Bosnian Muslim immigrantvs. white perpetrators:(1) Aurora CO theatre(2) Sandy Hook elementary(3) Colorado Springs clinic(4) Seal Beach CA salon(5) Tucson AZ political rally(6) DeKalb IL university(7) Omaha NE mall(8) Oak Creek WI sikh temple [targeting perceived muslims](9) Charleston SC church shooting [targeting blacks]As usual the political narrative of a big white bogey man is backward.
If you started with a different date, the proportions would be a little different, but 25 is a good round number. Another publication might include more or fewer mass slaughters. And a few of the categorizations might be arguable. I invite corrections in the comments.
But still, I hadn’t been aware that only 36% of mass shooters were regular American white guys, and I’m reasonably well-informed.
Of course, everybody, I believe, except Mrs. Farook in San Bernardino was a man.
