Why is it always white men who go beserk and shoot people?

Yes, rose.

It is Emily r1. Not Rose.

Because nine times out of ten it is a white male. Notice a trend there?

Even in Chicago R3?

Ah no, it's usually a black, dude. Here in NY nearly all crime on every news station is black. It's awful. Tired of watching it.

While the majority of all violent crimes are perpetuated by men, American mass murders in particular seem to be the territory of white men. The Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime writes that, “Compared with assailants who kill but one victim, mass murderers are overwhelmingly likely to be male, [and] are far more likely to be white,” and the numbers prove it. According to Wikipedia, 75% of the rampage killings on US record were perpetrated by white males, as were 71% of massacres in schools, and 60% of workplace rampages – a seriously disproportionate number for the number of white males that make up the general population. Clearly, there is more at play here than the advantage of opportunity.

Not all men have power but those in power are men.

Because the types of weapons and ammunition used in these mass killing are expensive. White men typically have more money to spend on weaponry or at least their parents do. Like the Newtown shootings for instance. The kid's mom probably spent thousands on the stuff he used.

I think that wiki page needs to be updated R6. Maybe that was when only white men could afford to buy guns. Now everyone has them. Honestly here in NY its one black man after another on the evening news and nightly news committing some sort of a violent crime. Sad. People need to get their shit together.

Why is it White men commit almost all the mass murders,killing strangers who have done anything to them.Killing six years olds at school,people watching movies,people eating at Lubys,McDonald's,etc?

Not sure.

OP, your premise is partly right, but if you consider crime by race (you invoked race, I didn't, you trolling asshole racist), you'll see that black-on-black shootings exceed the rate among whites greatly.

Sylvia Seegrist shot up Springfield Mall back in the 80s. Rare for a woman. She was pretty butch though.

The guy that killed 5 cops in Dallas in 2016 was not white. The shooting occurred right at the end of a very peaceful Black Lives Matter protest. They ended up sending a bomb in to take this guy out.

Spend a weekend in Chicago and then come back and rephrase your bull shit question.

MOst that do it are pissed that their privilege is fading.

Because they're the ones who can afford guns.

Guns are fucking expensive, especially the ones affected by the Second Amendment crew. Plus you have to learn how to use and maintain them. Anyone who reads about gang related violence knows those guys are not experts--they're always wounding rather than killing people and shooting innocent bystanders. The guys who murder their exes and children or massacre buildings full of people plan and rehearse their crimes obsessively beforehand.

Because you live in the U.S. and the majority of U.S. citizens are white hicks?

Why is it always people who go berserk and shoot people? Why don't animals shoot people? Why don't my house plants shoot people? Why doesn't my lunch of chicken noodle soup and carrot sticks shoot me?

r15, why does Chicago have so much gun violence and NYC doesn't? Because NYC has very strict gun laws. Also, most Republicans don't know this because they don't pay attention to things like history but Chicago has a tradition of gun violence and gang activity going back over a hundred years, dating from the Prohibition era, mostly perpetrated by WHITE MEN.

Beats me!

The mass murderer in the US with the most victims is a black man, Samuel Little.

And world wide, the mass murderers with the most victims include relatively few white perpetrators compared to others.

Furthermore, about shootings: if a mass murder is considered to be 4 or more victims, then mass murders occur all the time in Chicago. But for some reason we don't count them as such.

Black on black violence is white people’s fault and no one else’s.

Please F&F R11 - fucking hideous bump troll.

I know, it’s 100% crazy white people!

Absolutely!

Congrats on a successful 2015 thread bump, divisive asshole @R11. I'm sure you're jerking your tiny deformed penis watching all these suckers comment on it.

This thread proves Sister Souljah was right.

You had to go back all the way to the 1980's. Sylvia had schizophrenia.

R6: According to Wikipedia, 75% of the rampage killings on US record were perpetrated by white males, as were 71% of massacres in schools, and 60% of workplace rampages – a seriously disproportionate number for the number of white males that make up the general population.

Not wanting to argue, but don't African Americans make up only 13% of the US population? And Latinos, 20-something percent? So statistically, you'd expect something similar?

Yeah, R30, I was going to point out that the wiki interpretation of the statistics seems off, especially as the mass killings are undoubtedly done by males of whatever type, so using the general population as the marker rather than the male population is another bit of statistical trickery.
