c.wilmot where do you get off assuming noone cares about these deaths.
Why do you suppose some of us are willing to suffer the childish slings and arrows of the 2nd Ammendment misconstruers?

John M get back to us when puberty kicks in.

"Prey we never meet in person"...

Why's that SpudButt?
Could it be that actually meeting someone would challenge your pre-conceived and biased assumptions.

Why do you care SpudButt?

First, though it's already been mentioned ad-nauseum, this is not a "climbing" forum it is a "climber's" forum.
Secondly you do care which is why you stalk me. You really should be embarrased to be so juvenile.

Did ‘whiteness’ save the life of the alleged Planned Parenthood shooter?

By Peter Holley November 28 at 3:53 PM
After Dylan Roof allegedly executed nine worshipers in a historic black church in Charleston, S.C., in June, police arrested the 19-year-old without incident, bought him a hamburger and later described the white supremacist as “quiet” and “calm.”

His peaceful apprehension echoed the arrests white mass murderers like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and Aurora, Colo., theater shooter James Holmes, both of whom ended up alive and in handcuffs after carrying out mass slaughters.

Months before Roof’s arrest, meanwhile, widely circulated videos captured 12-year-old Tamir Rice and 22-year-old John Crawford III being shot and killed by police within seconds of authorities arriving on scene.

[Investigators search for motive in Planned Parenthood shooting that left three dead]

At the time they were shot by police officers, both individuals were playfully holding fake weapons, and neither had harmed a single person. Both individuals were not only young, innocent and black — they were also dead by the time the public learned their names.

For some observers, the humane treatment that Roof, Holmes and McVeigh received from authorities versus the split-second executions of Rice and Crawford, highlights a disturbing contrast in how law enforcement treats suspects depending on their race. During moments of alleged crisis, critics maintain, police not only perceive white suspects versus black ones differently, but may also perceive the existence of a crisis differently.

That disturbing contrast resurfaced again this week after two incidents that ended up fatefully sandwiched together. The first was a shocking video — shot more than a year ago — showing Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke fatally shooting Laquan McDonald 16 times, suddenly and without warning, while the 17-year-old appeared to veer away from police. Van Dyke has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting.

Days later, photos of Robert Lewis Dear, handcuffed and calm, emerged after the 57-year-old stormed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colo., killing three people, including a police officer.

On social media that striking juxtaposition — one an alleged killer, alive and well, the other a teenager, innocent, but dead — produced outrage.

Using the hashtag #WhiteTerrorism, the tweets argue that attacks by right-wing groups in America account for a greater share of violence and domestic terrorism than attacks by Muslim extremists.

According to a study released in June by the New America Foundation and cited by Global Post:

Almost twice as many people have died in attacks by right-wing groups in America than have died in attacks by Muslim extremists. Of the 26 attacks since 9/11 that the group defined as terror, 19 were carried out by non-Muslims. Yet there are no white Americans languishing inside the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. And there are no drones dropping bombs on gatherings of military-age males in the country’s lawless border regions.

Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, told CNN that some estimate the number of people “involved in some way with sovereign citizen extremism” as high 300,000 people, with around 100,000 people forming the heart of the movement.

Meanwhile these types of killings go on every day in inner cities across the US. The difference? The victims are black.... and so are the perps.....

How come none of you care about THAT?

Because the hand-wringers aren't good with critical thinking. They respond emotionally to what they're spoonfed on the teevee. And the scum in our legislatures know that and immediately attempt to exploit that temporary blindness.

And I'm not talking left or right or whatever political nonsense is the panic du jour. You can just as easily spin up the right to wantonly bomb brown people with "Islamic Terrorism" as you can spin up the left with "Scary black icky guns killing women and children".

It works every time.... simply amazing. But it is what it is I fear...
