As an Oberlin alum, I’m heartbroken by this.

I live in Austin. The bomber was a terrorist. There is no conflict about that in me. I understand that people want to use this for a larger argument but that shit gets lost on the masses. Too much subterfuge. He was a terrorist. Ashes to ashes.

This. Is. So. Sad.

Tragic.

You know who was an amazing, talented, smart kid we should all be talking about instead? You just posted his picture.

Fuck, that's so sad.

The flipside of this is that a lot of people think the criminals and terrorists have big signs on their foreheads. The camp guards and the machine gunners of civilians looked like normal people. For the weak minded racists, skin color is an easy hook for fear.

Heart breaking!

You left out what is the most important characteristic in determining how the media is describing him: he was white.

What a smile and talent American should never forget. DRAYLEN MASON.

The two can be true at the same time. Demonize the action not the actor

I wonder if we'll hear about the French supermarket hostage-taker's academic record?

Furious. It’s it’s not even a dog whistle. Fundamentalist white Christians can’t be terrorists! .

F--K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
