ultratruman said: I do understand that, but here's what concerns me: it looks like you are worrying about the political spin of a murder while the immediate victims are perhaps still dying. It cheapens the impact of what's happening, and will inadvertently lead to more Trump supporters who will perceive distant liberals hand wringing over tolerance instead of being viscerally afraid like them.

Situations like this are inherently political because they are the direct result of a clusterfuck of political, social, and gun control failings across centuries.The only difference between this and politicizing the many middle eastern skirmishes and attacks that leave people wounded and dead is honestly only distance. This is on top of the fact that shootings happen every day, meaning we're in a perpetual state of never being able to talk about the social and political contexts of such events because of ill-defined rules, which only kicks the can down the road of actually doing something about them.Also, Trump supporters do not care. They are the most likely demographic to oppose any and all action that would actually help.
