Social platforms allow an outpouring of this hate, and if anyone is "on the edge", the constant "hatespeak" will effect them and perhaps move them to this kind of action.
My mind NEVER went to any specific group as yours did, and whether you were "defending" anyone or anything means little.
We are a country that just have stopped understanding or even trying. We just verbally show hate, and some WILL take it to more than just words.
That was not my point. Heck, more kids have been killed in school shootings than by terrorists, BY FAR. I am sure I am not verbally qualified to get my meaning across, but let's understand...our country is filled with hate...we need to recognize those who show signs of turning the hate into action.
Again, my entire purpose was to agree with those who say that reducing guns alone will not solve the problem. These are children....we, as adults should show some qualities that they should aspire to. These children have no knowledge of politics BUT they sure can identify hate.

Well stated.
The other important thing that some people have a problem grasping is that the KKK is only one....of
many hate/white supremacist groups.
In fact, the SPLC has identified almost 1,000 different 'hate' groups.
And the focus of these groups hate, runs the gamut from religion to skin color to yes...even politics (regardless of which side of the aisle one stands).

In this latest atrocity, one has to ask how someone who is three years away from legally purchasing alcohol...can legally buy a weapon that is primarily meant for only one purpose?
