This is what you wrote. I am not twisting anything … The picks are of teenagers … You brought race into it … so i responded … I get you were just making a joke … I hope… But if not I called it out
I saw their pics, read the article I found, and could clearly see, if only because I have eyes, that they aren’t white. I’ve worked with many bankers and I’d be willing to bet everything that none of these are bankers. So…they aren’t middle aged white bankers. You know, just like when a black cop shoots someone…he is a cop, but when a white cop shoots someone he’s a white cop.
The race baiters of the last few years are starting to get a taste all over, and that’s fine with me. Hopefully we’ll get back to cop shoots thief one day…but that day isn’t today.

Hey Matt this is what Deflecting is …
Deflecting - cause (someone) to deviate from an intended purpose.
If that helps … My undertaking was about ethnicity …
I so agree with this… It is why I do not use ethnicity … It is not being woke. Sorry to disappoint you guys… It is about showing everyone the same respect… I would say policeman regardless of race or gender … Yes… I still maintain there are 3 genders …
Nope that is correct … Now there are many factors that play into these numbers and we can debate them for days …
The most hideous of these are the social implications … Cultural repression placed upon you by your own peer group… This happens in all economic levels … Sadly it is more prevalent in lower income brackets in cities …
According to available data, a significant majority of school mass shootings in the United States are carried out by white perpetrators, with estimates placing the percentage around 81%.
Studies show that the vast majority of mass public shooters at K-12 schools identify as White.
This is the FACTS … Only reason I am using ethnicity is a rebuttal of your claims …
They are white Supremacist Bankers

Directly calling out your bullshit statement is NOT deflection. You cited a stupid example to make your non existent case.
Facts are facts.

You lost me… My non existent claim… Stupid … Since we are on the subject … I am pretty sure you can read … If you need help with any words that were used. I am more than happy to help…
Statistically insignificant lets see 81% seems high to me … If you want to make it about overall crime… Then it isn’t mexicans … One could say if more people like the Clintons or Bidens or Trump were held responsible along with many others the numbers might be a little different…
These disparities are complex and stem from various factors including socioeconomic conditions, policing practices, and sentencing disparities.
The numbers
|Race|# of Inmates|% of Inmates
|Asian|2,366|1.5%|
|Black|59,877|38.9%|
|Native American|4,511|2.9%|
|White|87,230|56.6%|
I don’t need any help weeding out this BS. Let’s drop the percentages because they are the tool of folks trying to make something out of nothing and it only works on the simpleminded.
All I want to know is in a country of 340,000,000 EXACTLY how many “white kids” shot up schools in 2024? Single digits.
Now, how many young Latinos or Blacks committed violent crimes?
YOU brought up the stupid example of white kids shooting up schools as some sort of a meaningless counter point to a violent crime committed by a black kid and two Latinos.
Now I’m out of this dumbass discussion.
And BTW in “Whites” in your numbers above, they include a metric ■■■■ ton of Latinos.

So how many people have to die, for you, to be “RELEVANT” …Quite the statement … Very callous
Wow I never knew you were so evolved in your way of thinking … No worries I am taking notes…
I think I get what you are saying Black and Latinos are evil doers … White kids just had a bad day …
I now understand why on the gun forms . When it asked you what race there is a separate area if you are Hispanic or Latino … They might think they are white … I see you know better …
Man, can’t any thread not devolve (always by two or three particular people) into a back and forth of BS stupidity?
I’ll clarify myself. Generally the stupidity comes from one or two regulars BS slingers and a few other people then try to engage and address the stupidity.
I’ll say this. I get the strong suspicion that not everyone here is who they portray themselves as. I think some s#it stirrers here are either 14 year old internet tough guys on a computer bought by mom, or they have some real inferiority issues and feel the need to put down others and start s#it for the sake of starting it.
Either way, it’s useless, immature, and not the type of behavior I’d expect from a true, responsibility armed citizen who needs a level head, good judgement, cool emotions and a real desire to defuse situations, not go around starting confrontations.
We really need to close this to USCCA members only. It’ll remove a ot of the posers and BS slingers, I’m sure.

As it turns out…no. This is the same path nearly every group forum/mailing list seems to end up at. No useful conversation. No agreement on facts (a HUGE problem in lives). What happens is the owner, big dog, or hoster gets involved. The whiners get their way, and we have to start all over again with facts.
Yesterday night, I was kicked off of a mailing list of old friends, many decades old. Ones who while I frequently disagree with , I can joke around with and enjoy the mailing list topic. They’ve gone completely mad…on their own friends. People who have helped them with many things over the years. People who have been generous, opened up their homes, lent vehicles, and more. And of course…like always, it comes down to politics, race, religion, and now…gender. A mountain of stupidity, but they can’t help themselves.
While I got many great memories from people like this, I also question what the value of being open and honest so that one might be close to others (even if…maybe especially because) if the results seems to be the same as people get older. “Agree with me or your a bigot and I won’t communicate with you any more.” Very strange adult behavior.

Please Brother, don’t let ‘a few’ spoil it here (or out in the world) for you.
NOTHING IS PERFECT TODAY (if it was ever in the old days)
People are just MORE Obnoxious and RUDE than they were years ago. Today there seem to be some with NO filters. Born that way (they usually become Politicians, or in the case(s) here Failed /Wanna-be Politico’s). With the advent of so many NEW 'UNELECTED Positions in the .gov and on it’s fringes folk’s seem to think they can say anything, anywhere, anytime (usually without being asked for their opinion) and when a little pushback happens they fly off the handle because ‘Why the Duck don’t you listen to me!’ kind of attitude.
Some people don’t know how to have a conversation
Some don’t understand WHY we have a different opinion than the one
they try to force feed us.
I HAVE A LOT OF OPINIONS,
I say my peace (as Tactfully as I can)
IF you’re not buying what I’m selling fine, but don’t get snippy
and rude to me just because I don’t wish to be your new acolyte.
I’ve said this many times, I LIKE IT HERE, I get to say my peace
and my core group here knows I mean no harm. It’s how I feel.
With the situation the way it is today I NEED AN OUTLET LIKE THIS
SO I DON’T TUNE OUT while the World rights itself.
That’s just me,
A few lil sh!t stirrers is on par with this being an OPEN FORUM.
What the duck ever.
The TDS is REAL and it’s verbal open warfare (hopefully it’s stays Verbal but if not I’m ready). It’s like at Work, there is ALWAYS one or two that feel they need to be an axxhole. It is what it is Brad.

I appreciate the comment, Don. What I’m finding is that there’s a lot of “i’m taking my ball and going home.”

Well said.The anonymity of the internet gives keyboard warriors fake courage. They are free to spout insane platitudes that in real life would get them a punch in the face.

I don’t think so. People have always been People. The only difference between the People of today and those of yesteryear is communications technology. In times past the average person’s ignorance, bigotry, jealousy, rage, hatred, (etc., etc.) only made it a few miles from their physical location. Today, thanks to modern electronic communication. any Joe Shmoe can spread themselves around the entire planet in a matter of milliseconds. I don’t know if there’s actually MORE of this behavior these days or if we are just exposed to more of the same behavior that has always been there.
To be fair, a person’s love, compassion, sympathy, empathy, generosity, (etc., etc.) can also blanket the Earth just as quickly. It just doesn’t seem to happen, or maybe just get noticed, as much, possibly because “nice” doesn’t get clicks.
MOO. (My Opinion Only)

1-While all deaths are important to someone, relevancy has a whole different meaning to those of us who think factually as opposed to emotionally.
2-You don’t need to take notes on anything I post, they are wasted on you. And PLEASE don’t “think” you get what I say, you do not. Interpreting what I type is not your strong suit since you are so far off the mark.
3- As an actual WHITE HISPANIC I DO know better.
So in summary for everyones benefit: Targeting a handful of mentally broken “white kids” to try to make some sort of a broad national level point is just ridiculous and the main tool of the left. Ignoring the ACTUAL and FACTUAL massive issue of violent crime in the latino and black youth of America is just stupid and contributes nothing to the equation.
Now I’m out. This is getting to be another stupid circular discussion…
