general comment --- some body said that there were 90 deaths in school shootings this year or something like that . Not important to me although I do concede that 90 or even one death caused by school shooting is bad . Thing is , kids die by all kindsa means , its too bad but I'm not willing to do anything about it .

LOL...take away the signle or double homicides..majority white kids shooting up schools. It is that simple. I can't believe you deny their is an epidemic of school shootings by bitter white kids. You sound like a blacky saying there isn't a crime issue in the darky community.

Yet you did not source a single one of the shootings with what race the shooters were, you lumped no killings and single and double and suicide into it as well as colleges when your entire claim was kids.

College students aren't kids? Your denial is to the demise of the white race white kids are killing other white kids because they can't accept failure. DO you even watch the news? Are you one who is claiming Sandy Hook was a hoax?
