(26,076 posts)It isn't "sarcasm" or dark humor. It is REALLY inappropriate to be snarky about domestic violence.

And yes from the picture I saw of him on the ground he was wearing a white supremacist logo on his shirt.

(44,973 posts)Shooting occurred outside the bar, not inside.
"The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. Sunday outside of Ned Peppers in the 400 block of East Fifth Street in the Oregon District. This is the second mass shooting in the U.S. in less than 24 hours."

(8,144 posts)we dont know all the facts yet, the incident can be both an example of domestic violence and racial hatred. For all we know, the prime motive could have been domestic. In any case, we do see that many mass murderers kill family members.
The Gilroy mass murderer killed Hispanics and whites. In his mind, whites attending the festival were Silicon Valley types. He probably also was motivated by a desire to kill people who were
having fun and family time together as he himself was a rejected loner.
I hope we dont feel the need for all mass shootings to fit one particular narrative. There can be complex motives.
