So, let me get this straight. [View all]

1 person tragically murdered in Paris, France via a knife, perpetrator was eventually shot and killed by police--Donald Trump makes a public comment within hours.

4 people tragically murdered in Nashville, Tennessee, United States via an AR-15 rifle, further casualties are avoided only due to the bravery of an unarmed man who manages to disarm the perpetrator--Donald Trump has been silent for 22 days and counting.

Funny how perceptions suddenly change where the perpetrator happens to be a foreign and apparently Muslim extremist with a knife vs. a crazy American white guy with a gun and the involvement of a black man who manages to save lives without having using a gun.
