And the left does the exact opposite - showing the Dylan Roof racist shooting as just that, racist, but downplaying or even omitting the racist motives of Vester Flanagan because he himself is black.
What are those "racist motives" exactly?

Are you advocating for him?
No. In response to the "why isn't the media reporting this as racism" stuff that Simon was asking, I showed, that OF COURSE the far right is reporting this based on racism, while the same people reported on Dylan Root, who purposely targeted a black church and visited and aligned with racist imagery and sites, focusing on mental illness.Given that this instance is obviously exhibiting schitzoid/bipolar disorder, with a dash of JW-infused persecution complex and martyrism, it's obvious as to why mental illness has a focus here among more balanced media.
Look at the text of the post above the images - it's pretty clear. edit: Oh, Simon erased the images, uh, okay. -

Do you honestly believe this idiot's sole drive for what he did was to start a race war?
I find that distasteful that no one can admit this guy was out of his mind.
Uh, I'm not Matt Drudge. Did you read that post wrong?

Theory of Evolution and humanity are moving in parallel, and in opposite direction too!
by iconoclastic inproponents of evolution theory was comfortable with their easiest method of induction that says something like this: i saw a blind man in the us, then in russia, then in australian, then in africa ..., hence all men are blind.
yet proofs are abundant for the decline (opposite of evolution) we experience globally!.
1) most humans declined into greed, the result of which is climate change which has the potential to wipe out all life from the earth.

Our social evolution is also tied into evolution as social animals will often evolve in ways that are focused around group survival as a whole. Much of our morality is centered strictly around that. -

Funny too how the news is all about mental illness, not the clear racist motivation of the shooter.
That's because when someone has a history of extreme paranoia and violent reaction to that paranoia, they're most likely bipolar or schizophrenic, which are both mental illnesses. And since the shooting was directly targeted towards individuals that his paranoia told him had slighted him as opposed to random people of a skin color, it ties more directly into the illness issues.
But don't worry, ridiculous right wing sites are giving you just what you're looking for (and here's a comparative to show to how they are reporting it as compared to other, related things)

What more can America do about "gun control"? It's not the 1980's anymore. People can't walk into a gun store, buy a fully automatic Uzi or Mach-10, M-16, etc, fill out a "mail-in" form with a fake ID, and walk out with the fully auto sub-machine gun. Those days are OVER. We have instant background checks. You can't own a fully automatic weapon, silencer, etc without a thorough background check, expensive tax stamps/permits, and without a lot of money, period!!!
I feel background checks should be tied into ones mental medical history though. Currently, because of HIPPA laws, they are NOT. Only if you were "involuntarily committed", does mental illness show up on a background check before purchasing a weapon. That is the ONLY "loop-hole" that I am aware of in this country. Gun Show "loop holes", etc are pure myth, or are being done illegally to begin with. (I've never seen in 20+ years of attending gun shows).edit: Sigh, the quote button lost my response here, but I was basically agreeing that mental health screening would be a huge help.

Evolution has nothing to do with making things "better," that's something stupid that's told to religious people by other religious people that didn't pay any attention in middle school biology. Your premise is wrong, thus, the post is kind of pointless. -

the pacifist liberal pussified call
...this is why nothing can be done about it. The NRA lobbied, politicians politicized the issue, making it an either/or, zero sum, right wing/left wing thing as opposed to a nuanced issue that can be improved to some degree.

Owning a gun DOES increase the risk of suicide, because it has an 85% effectiveness rate as compared to 35% for the next highest thing (strangulation). Suicide is also, most often triggered by manageable or curable mental illness (something Simon thinks "doesn't matter" for whatever reason), which is actually even more damning to the pro-gun cause (since many people who have attempted suicide regret it later when their mind is more clear, having it immediately more easy for people to commit suicide is not really a good thing).
edit: While there is a self selection bias in play for those that own guns, that bias does not account for most gun injuries and deaths to happen in accidental/domestic situations as opposed to "those evil people out to get you from outside."

Actually, owning a gun makes you much, much more likely to be killed by a gun, as the vast majority of gun deaths in the U.S. are domestic or self inflicted. Fantasy "protect myself from those evil people" scenarios almost never happen, and it's more often that it results in friendly fire. But, whatever makes one feel safer to themselves, I guess.
