And I'm suggesting that the national news should note it, that the local news should cover it locally. Making a national celebrity of every mass killer makes more mass killers while at the same time making the nation more fearful and prone to stupidity (like three-strikes laws and gun bans that don't really ban much of anything.)

Meanwhile, regarding the tweets in question... I'm old enough to remember when we thought that extending the internet to the masses would inspire, elevate, educate and fuel a race to the top.

Maybe it does for some of us, but those troglodytes and bumpkins at the bottom are just using it to have a grand party in their own filth. It's kinda depressing, isn't it?

They all seem to be made by "young people".

Yet, wasn't this the demographic that went most strongly for the Democrat in the last election?

Explain.

If America wants to stop mass shootings, America needs to stop giving the shooters all the coverage possible.

Differentiate all you want to.
Publicly shaming these people shows the other racists that it is not acceptable.

I'll reiterate - some people are all too willing to forget and ignore. Not you specifically; this isn't for you. This is for them. There's a purpose to be served by exposing this. You don't have to like it, but I hope you can live with it.

Yeah, sure, these folks aren't hiding. But they *were* hiding to their acquaintances. The UNA coaching staff & faculty were most likely in the dark as to the extent of Mr. Patterson's unreasonable antagonism.

My question to Gurldoggie & the rest would be why you're afraid to look at what is going on in America? I find their language disgusting, their ideas horrible & disturbing, and it's certainly not comfortable reading. And yet I am glad it's out there, as it reminds me that this shit is still floating around, that no matter how many wonderful people have seen the light, there remains ignorance and hate in our country.

We've had many victories, but there's still a lot of work to do.

Is me telling you to go fuck yourself being done in the privacy of my own home? I suppose it is!

By way of analogy, maybe the people were sitting in their own homes, but they were speaking loud enough to be heard by others.
And you've been answered on the "why publicize it".
They should be publicized so that the racism is shown.
