Why is the religion of the mass killer never important when the killer is white?
@catawu I don't see how it's important to the Incel shooter, unless misogyny counts as a religion...

@catawu if indeed the Incel shooter is who you were referring to. In general you're right, it's a double standard. -
@StephenMeansMe they always say if the shooter was a Muslim, as if religion mattered. But white males? Religion never matters. -
@catawu gotcha. More than that, nothing else matters. It's always a "solitary" or "lone wolf" incident. -
@StephenMeansMe too often PR buzzwords designed to neutralize our critical thinking on any event or series of events. -
@catawu Yuuuup. Definitely a "move along, nothing to see here" implication with those sorts of words. -
@StephenMeansMe my fave? "Fell through the cracks" 2 give impression the incident is rare or the system is strong just 'imperfect'. -
@catawu especially dumb because if a handful of well-off white guys fall through, why is it not the case for, e.g., black/brown gangsters? -
@StephenMeansMe Also, when a child is murdered & it turns out there were multiple warnings ignored... - 2 more replies
