Mass shootings in the US, that are not islamist inspired (i.e. the majority), seem to be socially acceptable. If the attack is somehow connected to islamists, the whole nation goes crazy, every agency sends its incompetent bureaucrats (or special agents, because that sounds better) to the scene, an...

Jump to postTo use that analogy, it would be similar to someone claiming that no one should ever fly because a plane crashed last year. When a plane crashes, a special team is called in to find out what happened and steps are taken to correct those mistakes and make flying safer. With cops, all they do is get ...
