It’s interesting how the media (and society as a whole) will do everything in their power to refrain from labeling white people as terrorists.

They can bomb abortion clinics.

They can stalk and kill doctors who provide abortions.

They can go into schools, loaded down with ammunition, shooting everyone they see.

They can go into a movie theater wearing a bulletproof vest and gas mask and fire into the crowd killing 12 people and wounding 38 others.

They can do all of this, and yet they will never, ever be labeled a terrorist.

Just sit and think for a minute about how differently this story would be framed if the person who committed this crime wasn’t white.

On a different note, my thoughts go out to the families of those who were killed. I hope the people currently hospitalized pull through this.
