In their fervor to demonize white people and portray black people as victims, Democrats play hard and fast with realty. The man who killed Asian massage parlor workers in Atlanta did so, not because he hated Asians, but because he was a sex addict and wanted to destroy some of the places that tempted him. But that fact was overlooked by the media who was intent on blaming Trump supporters for the mass killings. Again they overlook the facts which do not fit their narrative. White Trump supporters are not attacking Asians because of the China Virus or for any other reason. In fact, for every Asian who is attacked by a white man, 280 Asians are attacked and often killed by black men! The blame needs to be placed where it belongs so that black children are not raised in fear of white Americans!
In Colorado, another mass shooting took place shortly after the one in Atlanta, and the man who was apprehended by the police was portrayed by the media as a white gunman. And in his mug shot, his skin did look light. However, he was Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a Muslim who hated President Trump. He just didn’t fit their narrative, so the media tried to ignore the truth, sticking with the incorrect stories that they originally posted or making the corrections so small no one noticed them. Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris was honest enough to take down her original tweet about the shooting, but her reasoning for assuming he was a white conservative (read supremacist) was because, according to her “most mass shooters are white.”
But Miss Harris is wrong. At the bottom of this article are photos of all the mass shooters in 2019. There are 98 of them. A mass shooter is considered to be someone who shoots at least four people in one incident. Look at the faces. How many are white? I counted 24 I could be sure of out of the 98, some of them being light skinned Hispanic or Asian, but the vast majority are black. Drugs and gang violence run rampant in black areas of major Democrat -run cities, and no one seems to want to do what it takes to stop it. By far, despite what Democrats tell you, most young black men who are killed are killed by other black men. White conservatives may own guns for protection, but we don’t go around shooting minorities for the fun of it!
So far this year there have been 146 unsolved shootings in which 16 of the suspects are blacks or Hispanics and none are white.
As for police shootings, according to the CDC, a white man in the commission of a crime is far more likely to be shot by a police officer than a black man. And generally, those who are shot while unarmed, whatever their skin color, are shot because they are high on drugs and attacking the police with the force that drugs instill in them. Are there racists in the country? Sure, as in every country. But according to a world-wide survey, the United States is one of the least racist countries in the world!
But if Democrats were to admit to that, blacks would no longer feel like victims that only the Democrats can protect from those cruel, racist, white supremacist conservatives. Yet, the Democrats make great promises that they never keep and life in the poor black communities goes on just as bad as always, worse, now that white Democrat elites have decided to defund their police because police bad! Yet it is those very police who protect those black neighborhoods, or at least they used to.
And what do Americans really think about the gun control that those who are “working on our behalf” are proposing? A Rasmussen poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted on March 24 and March 25. When asked if the nation needs more gun control, 49 percent said no compared to 46 percent who said yes. 51 percent agreed that stricter gun laws would not prevent mass shootings while 39 percent thought they would. But most eye-opening of all was that 64 percent including 53 percent of Democrats answered “no” to the question of whether it was possible to prevent all mass shootings.
The media and the Democrat Party are not in tune with the American people on this subject.
And their constant attempt to portray the AR-15 (AR being the initials of the company that makes it) as a weapon of war that kills thousands upon thousands of Americans each year is totally false. According to the FBI’s own statistics, in 2019, their most recent data, firearms accounted for the majority of homicides — 10,258 — but the number committed using a rifle of any kind, not just an AR-15, was only 364, a much smaller number. More people were killed with hands and feet (600) or with knives (1,476) than with rifles. Perhaps we should ban hand, feet, and knives!
When an airplane crashes and burns, killing hundreds of passengers and crew it makes big news. Why? First, of course, because the mantra of journalism has always been “If it bleeds, it leads” because people are unfortunately drawn to the horror that happens to other people. But there is another reason why it makes such an impact on the news, and that is because a plane crashes so rarely. Delta Airlines alone makes 15,000 flights a day and yet the last time a plane from any airline has crashed in the U.S. was in 2009. Mass shootings and school shootings are just like plane crashes. They are rare. But they tend to happen in clusters, which frightens us and stirs up the anti-gun rhetoric once again. But research shows there is a good reason for what happened in Atlanta to be followed by what happened in Boulder, Colorado.
Mass shootings are contagious, largely because of the non-stop media coverage. One disturbed individual thinks killing a number of people will somehow make him feel better, and then another disturbed individual sees all the publicity he gets and wants his own day in the sun. So he acts upon what has no doubt been a long festering anger which he might never otherwise have acted upon. Perhaps the best way to stop mass shootings, is two pronged. Get way more police presence into poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods and perhaps even go door-to-door to confiscate illegal firearms from gang members. And secondly, when a mass shooting does occur, do what they do in Chicago. Just give the number of wounded and dead and don’t bother to name the perpetrator. If no one gets his moment of fame from such a killing, perhaps fewer troubled individuals will resort to taking the lives of others.
But don’t, don’t fall into the Democrat trap of saying that mass shootings are always committed by angry white men. They are not. It is not even close!
