mytake4u, you seem to be hearing voices, as nobody has actually said the things you accuse people of saying. This type of argumentation is known as the "straw man". You're arguing with a false premise.

Mytake4u: The story says nothing about the race of the shooter or of the victim. Yup ... you're a prejudiced fool.
