and I may catch hell for it, but here is why not..
This country is spending a literally uncountable amount of money on the premise that black and brown people are a threat. War on Terror, War on Drugs, it's all the same emphasis, kill those people before they kill your cute little children.
And of course, the biggest threat to the children turns out not to be someone in Iraq or Mexico, but someone here, someone that the police would not harass nearly as much as someone "driving while black." If Adam Lanza was an Arab or Afro-American, you know the topic would have been brought up, and the judgement made.
And yes, it is appropriate to wonder how come, even if you had documented mental issues:how come these people NEVER had a problem getting military grade weaponry? Jared from the Gabbie Giffords shooting, Eric and Dylan from Columbine, and others discussed in the articles below ALL HAD DOCUMENTED MENTAL ISSUES. I will bet hard cold cash that mental health treatment was a lot harder from them to get.

And yes, as the gungeon folks will point out, overall gun violence is going down...which makes talk of the shooter's ethnicity fitting, because for all their sincere efforts, it is not the Bloods, Crips or Latin Kings, or Mafia, that are the ones shooting up people in malls and elementary schools! Apparently the shooters are all of enough means to get the military grade crap, not the Saturday night specials those of different ethnicity can afford.
