    To whom are you referring to as "you guys"? Edit: Common sense would dictate that most Americans don't walk into bars and restaurants and shoot people, despite what Hollywood says. So when you say "you guys", I have to take pause.

      Jesus. And the shooter's an ATC; an educated man, not some dumb hick. I suppose that this kind of thing has to be expected, when politicians start drumming up nationalism. Tell some people that they're allowed to hate, and they'll go at it with gusto. I dare say that some elements are already hailing the guy as a hero. I would hope that Trump will harshly condemn the action -- and then tone it the **** down.

        So the "Get out of my country!" is an unimportant detail? That's what "drumming up" is all about.

              Sometimes I worry about this country. The guy who thought who had shot two Iranians did not know that Iranians are the wrong guys in the first place. Then he got the wrong guys again. Wrong twice over. And this person worked as a radar operator in a US navy nuclear sub ??!! :omg: :omg: It's not an isolated incident, none of the hate crimes intended to target a certain ethnic group managed to get the right guy. I think there is something wrong with this country's education system. Why don't you guys read a book or something :D

                  By "us", are you referring to the European immigrants (or their descendants) in the US? The joke's on you: A Chinese man walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him,and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here. "The astonished Chinese man replied, "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour, it was the Japanese". "Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg. In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg two slaps and says, "You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship. "Shocked, Spielberg replies, "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

                                I've no doubt that there are numerous racist lunatics like the one who committed this murder, but thankfully most of them are not retarded enough to go out and kill other human beings. This situation is true, regardless of where you turn. In India, the Kannadigas fight with the Tamils, the Tamils fight with the Mallus, and it goes on. On the other hand, and fortunately, there are more good people for every such racist in existence. People like the one who committed this murder though, they go by the "finders keepers" ideology - one which lets those deluded ones believe that "mmuricah/straya/insert whatever land these criminals invaded and committed a genocide in to grab/ is THEIR LAND, and everyone else should go out". "Finders keepers" would sound cute or understandable when it's proclaimed by a 7 year old, or a developmentally challenged adult. The rest are all grumpy old deluded hypocritical shits who are in serious disconnect with reality.

                                    In fact the greatest leades of the world banned civillians from having weapons, as they are not fit to have them. Mussolini and Hitler knew what was right for us!

                                      I know, right? The newspapers are just full of reports of those people shooting up the place because of Trump's rhetoric.

                                        I've no doubt that there are numerous racist lunatics like the one who committed this murder, but thankfully most of them are not retarded enough to go out and kill other human beings. This situation is true, regardless of where you turn. In India, the Kannadigas fight with the Tamils, the Tamils fight with the Mallus, and it goes on. On the other hand, and fortunately, there are more good people for every such racist in existence. People like the one who committed this murder though, they go by the "finders keepers" ideology - one which lets those deluded ones believe that "mmuricah/straya/insert whatever land these criminals invaded and committed a genocide in to grab/ is THEIR LAND, and everyone else should go out". "Finders keepers" would sound cute or understandable when it's proclaimed by a 7 year old, or a developmentally challenged adult. The rest are all grumpy old deluded hypocritical shits who are in serious disconnect with reality.

                                        Ehm... actually it's how any nation has been founded. Either people settled and held it agaisnt other people from different places or they conquered and held it from other people.

                                          Owning a gun would not make a huge difference to my lifestyle. Mind you, if my brother ever decided to give me his Winchester bicentennial...

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
