        Unfortunately yes. You know if his parents were from Japan, this would not have happened.

        It's about religion. VT wasn't. Will some Japanese guy get angry about gay kissing and kill 50 ppl? Very unlikely.

        The point is that people get killed no matter the motive is.VT not being "religious based" doesn't make less significant

        Less motives, less kill. So it's important to know murder's background, what the motive is, and what can be done.

        998 shootings since Sandy Hook. 2 involved Muslims. 998 involved males. yeah, must be a Muslim problem, not a male violence problem.
