Following complaints from Muslim Somali families, a school district in Minneapolis has backed down and allowed them to withdraw their children from LGBTQ+ programming. Similar efforts made by Christian families are often branded as “fascist” by leftists: https://t.co/ZrpzZV786l
I look forward to reading the above news item, but this report from last night is the reason why people are generally very wary of "nuclear power plants".
I mean, anything that can be this dangerous, whether by operator error, earthquake/tsunami, war accident or terrorism sabotage should never be created.
I wonder why this mass killing has received no wall-to-wall coverage.
. . . it has, though?
Who are the mass shooters?
These came to mind. Along with the Sandy hook guy.
But Wikipedia says:
According to The New York Times, there is no common profile of people who carry out mass shootings in the United States, except that they are mostly men. By race, according to a study, the proportion of mass shooters in the United States who are white is about equal to the overall proportion of white people in the general population of the US.[50][51] According to the same study, Asians are overrepresented in mass shootings, having perpetrated 6.06% of attacks despite being 5.7% of the population.[52] The proportion of male mass shooters is considerably larger than the proportion of males in the general population.[51] According to the Associated Press, white men comprise nearly 50% of all mass shooters in the US.[53] According to the National Institute of Justice/The Violence project study, the demographics of shooters were 97.7% male, with an average age of 34.1 years, 52.3% white, 20.9% black, 8.1% Latino, 6.4% Asian, 4.2% middle eastern, and 1.8% native American.[30]
According to the Center for Inquiry, mass shootings of family members (the most common) are usually carried out by white, middle-aged males. Felony-related mass shootings (connected with a previous crime) tend to be committed by young Black or Hispanic males with extensive criminal records, typically against people of the same ethnic group. Public mass shootings of persons unrelated to the shooter, and for a reason not connected with a previous crime (the rarest but most publicized) are committed by men whose racial distribution closely matches that of the nation as a whole.[54][55] Other than gender, the demographic profiles of public mass shooters are too varied to draw firm conclusions.[54] In its 2014 active shooter incidents review, the FBI found that the perpetrator was female in only 6 of the 160 incidents (4%) and that in only 2 incidents (1%) was there more than one perpetrator.[42] Analogously, in December 2013, the Journal of Forensic Sciences published a sociodemographic network characteristics and antecedent behaviors survey of 119 lone-actor terrorists in the United States and Europe that found that 96.6% were male.
I agree that white people are proportional to their population in premeditated mass shootings, like school shootings. Is that what happened here? This seems more like a gang shooting, which is predominantly done by minorities, despite being less of the population. We really don't know what race the shooters are because the media is being incredibly tight-lipped about it; far from simply naming names.
There is a widely viewed video of bystanders tackling one of the shooters. You can feed your obsession with race by going through that video frame by frame to determine his race. As for whether it was gang related, the news stories I saw described it as a personal dispute between a few people. That could be gang related or it could be a "you stole my girlfriend" or "you clowned me on Tik Tok" situation.
I don't have an obsession with race. I rarely post about it in a vacuum. 95% of the time it is in response to someone here asking for reparations, disparaging white people or Asians, or at least already in a racial discussion.
Hmmm. Allow me to guess. This otherwise "vacuum" you live in is a white bubble, right? Engaging in such discussions here on BI is getting out there and mixing with the crowd, right?
No, the vacuum would be me bringing up race without folks here already bringing up race. That should be clear for folks who objectively read my post. I live far from a white bubble. As I type this, the last 3 folks I just spoke to at my work were not white. I live in a big city and employ many workers, many of which are not white. My life is integrated with many races. I do not live in a gated community. I see folks of all races work hard and succeed or sometimes struggle. I also see folks of all races who don't have the drive to succeed, are incredibly immature, yet expect things to be given to them. I am on or at least near the front line.
Touche! From one fund manager to one non-"white-bubble" worker, you win this point! Good on you!
PS: although, maybe that "front line" bit gives you away. Is that what makes you, uh, shall we say, "race focused"?
Your interpretation of what I posted certainly reinforces that you are race focused.
Frontline workers: Frontline workers are employees in an organization that provide some essential service to the general public. Not all essential workers are considered frontline workers.
The distinction is based on how much interaction they have with people, and whether they're customers or recipients of the service provided. For example, frontline workers have a higher rate of face-to-face interactions than essential workers, who aren't necessarily required to work in public-facing roles.
Some essential workers can work from home, while frontline workers usually have to report in-person to complete their job responsibilities. Both essential and frontline workers help society function and contribute to the economic growth of the communities in which they live and serve.
Good morning,
I want to commend you for your decorum. You have exhibited significant restraint in typing toxic barbs at your detractors. I respect that.
Thank you for explaining that you mean "public facing" where you used "front line".
I hope you have a good day today. See you in other threads shortly, I'm sure.

According to The New York Times, there is no common profile of people who carry out mass shootings in the United States, except that they are mostly men. By race, according to a study, the proportion of mass shooters in the United States who are white is about equal to the overall proportion of white people in the general population of the US.[50][51] According to the same study, Asians are overrepresented in mass shootings, having perpetrated 6.06% of attacks despite being 5.7% of the population.[52] The proportion of male mass shooters is considerably larger than the proportion of males in the general population.[51] According to the Associated Press, white men comprise nearly 50% of all mass shooters in the US.[53] According to the National Institute of Justice/The Violence project study, the demographics of shooters were 97.7% male, with an average age of 34.1 years, 52.3% white, 20.9% black, 8.1% Latino, 6.4% Asian, 4.2% middle eastern, and 1.8% native American.[30]
According to the Center for Inquiry, mass shootings of family members (the most common) are usually carried out by white, middle-aged males. Felony-related mass shootings (connected with a previous crime) tend to be committed by young Black or Hispanic males with extensive criminal records, typically against people of the same ethnic group. Public mass shootings of persons unrelated to the shooter, and for a reason not connected with a previous crime (the rarest but most publicized) are committed by men whose racial distribution closely matches that of the nation as a whole.[54][55] Other than gender, the demographic profiles of public mass shooters are too varied to draw firm conclusions.[54] In its 2014 active shooter incidents review, the FBI found that the perpetrator was female in only 6 of the 160 incidents (4%) and that in only 2 incidents (1%) was there more than one perpetrator.[42] Analogously, in December 2013, the Journal of Forensic Sciences published a sociodemographic network characteristics and antecedent behaviors survey of 119 lone-actor terrorists in the United States and Europe that found that 96.6% were male.
I agree that white people are proportional to their population in premeditated mass shootings, like school shootings. Is that what happened here? This seems more like a gang shooting, which is predominantly done by minorities, despite being less of the population. We really don't know what race the shooters are because the media is being incredibly tight-lipped about it; far from simply naming names.
There is a widely viewed video of bystanders tackling one of the shooters. You can feed your obsession with race by going through that video frame by frame to determine his race. As for whether it was gang related, the news stories I saw described it as a personal dispute between a few people. That could be gang related or it could be a "you stole my girlfriend" or "you clowned me on Tik Tok" situation.
Did we find out whether Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays were gang members?
I wonder why this mass killing has received no wall-to-wall coverage.
. . . it has, though?
Who are the mass shooters?

In Costa Rica and Latvia today, the Atlantic Council is hosting its 360/OS Summit at RightsCon Costa Rica and NATO's Riga StratCom. Among other things, the influential think tank will be previewing its "Task Force for a Trustworthy Future Web" report, which they hope will "lay the groundwork for stronger cross-sectoral ideation and action" and "facilitate collaboration now between the expanding community dedicated to understanding and protecting trust and safety."
In human terms, conference attendees are discussing how best to stay on-brand by presenting the Censorship-Industrial Complex as a human rights initiative, and as #TwitterFiles documents show, they have the juice to pull it off.
One of the many startling truths coming out of this must watch interview because it’s the SEASON of JUSTICE, “The Atlantic Council is headed by 7 former CIA directors.”
Truth is being exposed about this “think tank” in Washington D.C.
And dozens of 'former' ranking FBI officials working at Twitter, Fakebook, Google, etc. You know. Because Ivermectin is 'horse medicine' that would prevent Pfizer from making $400 Billion. s/
Most gun crimes are gang related, and as such are big-city issues. In fact, if mayors in larger cities were more diligent about controlling gang warfare, state and nationwide gun violence rates would fall dramatically
