I think the political correctness is partly to blame as instead of people trying to talk about their differences in a truthful way we just suppress it with positive spin bullshit
Ok, we are blaming the media and so is every other comment in the comment section across the internet. So what now? Will blaming Obama and the media do anything other than to satiate certain political agendas?
The real problem is us - we humans. This is the world we have created. We talk about inclusiveness yet we're as tribal as ever. Instead of saying "Man kills another man," we say "White man kills black man." That's not inclusive.
It's really crazy. We now have these groups like BLM who are using racism to fight racism. It's like bombing countries to promote peace. You're not going to get anywhere this way.
It starts with each person. Unless we truly create some kind of harmony in ourselves there is nothing that can be done. No matter how politically correct this society gets, it's all on the surface. Underneath, we're just as tribal as ever - maybe even more.
Shooter identified as Gavin Long. Interesting twist, that's for sure.
What do you mean, an interesting twist ?
The anti-government angle, that's all.
Enjoy your ignorance.

I see.
We are in "funny" times, these days.
I'm not sure that the current president, is handling the situation brilliantly. He seems to jump in, and imply (in my opinion) too much, that the police might be responsible. When these people are shot dead, during arrests etc.
He should know better, and insist that there will be a full inquiry and please leave the investigation to take its course. The police are innocent till proven guilty.
Who the fuck said anything was "funny"? You. It's pretty sad that you feel that way about this situation. Regarding the shooting, this guy traveled from KC to BR. He isn't a local and I bet they didn't welcome his actions.
But keep foaming at the mouth about this, I'm sure it'll accomplish something.
Tell you what, tell me what they're chanting: I might be misinterpreting it.

You're an apologist embarrassment.
Serious question. What has Obama done to try and calm the tension and unite people?

Was she in that video? I missed her, hmmm... but another group used as a reference to her, gj!
Initially, "Nice truck attack" elicited a bit of a giggle from me as I had misunderstood the "Nice" to be some happy-go-lucky Truck and not Nice, France. Language, especially across languages (re: Nice), itself can be a funny thing.No I have caused a misunderstanding.
In UK English usage "Funny times" (I wonder if I'm properly understanding its usage)
Means Strange/Odd/Peculiar/Weird times, where unexpected/crazy/somewhat-bad things happen.
Not really funny as in humorous. But I accept your comments, but it is NOT what I meant, sorry.
I should have said something like "Strange times" or "Odd times" or something.
"Funny Times" can mean strange out of the ordinary (unexpected) things, suddenly happen. That's what I meant.
Turkey Coup, French Lorry Terrorists, etc etc. "Strange times" if you like or "weird times".

Mind you, I'm aware I could have showed some sobriety considering the "60 or so people died in" part that preceded "Nice truck attack" but, in my defense, I read it on my Reddit homepage and you never know what's really happening in Reddit.
That out of the way, we use funny the same way in the US.

AFAIK, Louisiana allows open carry. But police were dispatched to a guy carrying a rifle? Why?
Who shot first, and was this really the "ambush" that is being portrayed?
Are there still two people on the run, or have they figured out yet again that this was perpetrated by just one guy with a gun?
A suspect shot dead at the scene was thought to be the only gunman involved, police said. Reports earlier suggested there was more than one gunman.
The Geosurface is strong with this one... Shh... let him keep thinking he is fooling any one...
The problem is we've been forced into a politically correct corner where discussing the issues gets you in trouble.
We can't fix anything without being able to openly and honestly discuss the issues.
Heck, some words not even commonly associated with a particular ethnicity get you vacationed/banned here. And it's worse in the court of public opinion.
Yeah the issue is that people aren't using the right words.

Armed and organized black militants need to be identified and tracked 24 hours a day by the FBI to prevent future police killings.
