The left is wondering how to spin this?:smiley:
Sounds like jilted hearts. But let’s wait till the identity is released. It’s some mental or relationship issue most of the time.

Why wait when you already have a head-start?

Because it’s speculative and I could be wrong. :smiley:

I posted critics reviewing the movies made by white producers who used the word SMART not all reviews go on the posters, personally I dont see what is condescending about the reviews you speak of . Being from a marginalised group myself, am used to all kinds of attributions , some times well meaning remarks such as sweetheart and for a woman you are very a,b,c,d are not taken kindly. My indignation does nothing for my group,acknowledging the patronising comments does nothing but to give more power to the group with the privilege. Why do you as a black person need the white man’s approval? In the movie The Wife 2018, there is a scene where a jaded older woman tells the starry eyed one that women’s books belong on dusty shelves because writing for approval is a big boys club. The starry eyed woman retorts, but a writer must write,approval or none! The older one says knowingly, everybody needs approval. Grandma Moses lived in an era where women werent artists, she spent her life milking cows and cooking in her 80s things changed and she become an art icon with her paintings being the best in the world.Glass ceilings are made to be broken, if they dont let you in by the door,use the chimney, we are all in a dual for supremacy - a white person will never hand over their privilege to you. Theres advantage to being an underclass or underclass or under dog, theres only one place you can go and thats up.Personally I feel more affiliation towards my gender than my race and if anyone has a right to gripe about the discrimination in film production that would be women - not black folk, so cant say I see any condescention in critics , all I see is your attribution. That whites must patronise blacks because they have low opinion of them based on race. Blacks are minority so its not so bad if they are overlooked but what about women who are half the population.Tafuta hii documentary to understand what marginalization means. I personally make a point of ignoring movies about Black Americans because theyre all terribly predictable and awful with no plot other than the eye candy, theres nothing to write home about. The only good movies about blacks are from best selling books like The Color Purple and Biographies of African leaders like Winnie and Mandela. Movies made from african writers like Half a Yellow Sun and soon one by Koigi are eons better. The ones I liked like For colored girls 2010 the producer is a white man, thats one of the few black movies that got me shook, the rest like a boy,a girl , adream or black panda are a bunch of crap not worth a minute of my time. Yet Ive watched every movie with Denzel in it and I have never been disappointed. If you’re good at something then you’re good even age cant hold you back but if its just beginners’ luck, time tells. Maybe thats what is happening to your beloved black producer.Why didnt they condescend Denzel when he produced and acted in Fences 2016.

The last time the US had a serial killer epidemic.It was the late 70s and 80s.When the US was like 80% White and many whites still lived in the cities and inner surburbs
Today,black people kill more of their own and others in a year than all current white serial killers put together.
White people have gotten too rich to have serial killers in most places.
You cannot have a classical serial killer anywhere in Southern California,what with all those security measures in place.

It’s almost 24 hours status-post the shooting and still no word about the shooter. Why? It looks bad on the lying liberal news media if the shooter is black. So we wait…they are busy looking for his 6th grade photo.

Are you milking an unripe tragedy, my dear?

Juan Lopez, 32, bullied multiple cadets, including some women, during his roughly two months at the Chicago Fire Academy in 2014 before he was terminated, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt said.

“There was some issues with bullying that he was going to be disciplined for, and he went AWOL,” Merritt told USA TODAY.

Merritt said he did not have details of the incident for which Lopez was to be disciplined. He said Lopez was fired after failing to show up to work for several days. Lopez also did not respond to a wellness check from fire officials.

Now categorize him and put him in the Drumpfian narrative. Lord knows you guys need respite after Pittsburgh and the POTUS’s daft behaviour in the aftermath.

It’s a fact, sorry if it isn’t convenient for you. The agenda is clear: abolish the NRA and the Second Amendment.

Within a few hours of the Pittsburgh shooting we knew everything about the guy. The media went as far as linking his van to Trump.

Tick tock, tick tock…

:D:D:D

I think the differences are quite clear to those not seeking to launch another NRA/GOP campaign. This is a personal relationship based act, while Pittsburgh was clearly an ethnic hate crime.

I’m wailing to see how you’ll position a Latino shooter and a Latino cop victim. They do not fit your initial prediction.

Black Kenyan woman is now more bigoted than the white natives. :eek:

chicago is capital of ooga booga violence. there are more shootings daily than yearly in Kenya

Nope, Chicago and Detroit are extremely violent despite having the nation’s toughest gun laws.

[SIZE=7]What we know about Mercy Hospital gunman Juan Lopez[/SIZE]

[ATTACH=full]210054[/ATTACH]

Juan Lopez, the gunman who killed three people at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, had made threats with guns in the past.

A Chicago Fire Department washout, involved in at least two troubled romances and lengthy domestic court actions, shot and killed his former fiancé, a Chicago police officer and a hospital pharmacy technician, according to law enforcement officials.

Gunman Juan Lopez, 32, was killed during a firefight with Chicago police at Mercy Hospital on Monday afternoon. The Cook County Medical Examiner says Lopez was killed by a police bullet - shot in the abdomen - despite also having a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.

According to court records from 2014 and ‘15 obtained by the ABC7 I-Team, Lopez’ ex-wife accused him of brandishing a weapon against several people and threatening to show up at her workplace and cause trouble.

As the I-Team first reported Monday, the hospital siege began when Lopez accosted his ex-fiancé Tamara O’Neal, 38, an emergency room physician at Mercy Hospital, who was leaving after her shift.
Lopez shot O’Neal numerous times, investigators said, prior to the gunman storming the hospital and continuing his assault-perhaps firing as many as three dozen rounds from a 9mm pistol according to police and witness accounts.
O’Neal and Lopez were engaged to be married in late October, the I-Team reported, an engagement that was scrapped in September. On Tuesday Chicago police said that Lopez showed up at the hospital to retrieve the engagement ring he had given to O’Neal.

We’ve also learned that Lopez was currently enrolled as graduate student at DePaul University. A DePaul spokesperson told the I-Team that he was “seeking a master’s degree in public service. He earned a bachelor’s degree here in 2013.”
The shooter’s history also includes a 2014 attempt to become a Chicago firefighter. A spokesperson for the CFD says that he was terminated from the training academy because of improper conduct about two months after starting his training.
The conduct involved workplace violence, according to CFD spokesman Larry Langford who says Lopez was accused of shoving female cadets.
Also Tuesday, officials at the Chicago Housing Authority said Lopez was hired as an associate program specialist in February of this year. He worked in the customer care center in the Loop.

CHA management said all housing agency employees are subject to background checks before being hired and that Lopez’s hire was approved after undergoing background checks. Lopez did not have a history of complaints while he was employed there, officials said.
In a statement, CHA CEO Eugene Jones Jr. said, “This was an unthinkable act of violence. We are filled with overwhelming sadness and our hearts go out to the families of those who died, and to all affected by this horrific tragedy.”
At the time of Monday’s fatal shootings, Lopez was still entangled in a domestic court case with his ex-wife Monica De Asa. The couple was married in 2008 and had one child. They had a date scheduled in Cook County court on November 27 concerning financial questions in their child support agreement.

Prior to filing for divorce from Lopez, Ms. De Asa obtained an emergency order of protection against her husband in 2014. In the court file obtained by the I-Team, De Asa claimed that her husband “has slept with pistol under his pillow” and that the gun was “accessible” to their young child.
She also detailed that on two occasions in 2014 he “pulled out his gun with intent to harm,” once on a neighbor and on another occasion pointing his weapon at a realtor.
According to the court file, on December 1, 2014 Lopez “began sending threats via text message to come to my job and cause a scene.”
In the 2015 divorce filing, De Asa accused her husband of “constant infidelity and abuse.”
Lopez also had ongoing child support issues according to court records. Documents state that he had a difficult time keeping a job and refused to inform De Asa where he was working or living.
Court document reveal that in 2015 Lopez worked in security at Illinois Masonic Hospital in Chicago.
Records also reveal that Lopez was employed in 2014 at Ingalls Hospital in south suburban Harvey. The I-Team has calls into administrators for both hospitals concerning his past employment.
Lopez had a valid Illinois Firearm Owners Identification card and a Concealed Carry permit. Police investigators say he had purchased four weapons within the past five years.

Dr. Tamara O’Neal, an emergency room physician at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, was shot and killed on late Monday afternoon. O’Neal was the first of the three victims, including Dayna Less, a pharmacy resident, and Samuel Jimenez, a police officer, killed by 32-year-old Juan Lopez.

In a press conference Monday night, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson confirmed that O’Neal was shot multiple times in the parking lot of her workplace. The Associated Press reports that Lopez fired many shots and “stood over her and shot her again.”

According to ABC 7 Chicago, O’Neal’s family says that the two were engaged, but O’Neal called off the wedding in September. In his press conference, Johnson said the shooter “was in a domestic relationship with” O’Neal.
But the storyline of a black woman doctor losing her life to a former fiancé who turned violent has not been given as much attention as the fact that Lopez also shot and killed Jimenez, a young Chicago police officer, who responded to Monday night’s shooting.

“A police officer and two female staffers were killed in a shooting at a Chicago hospital on Monday afternoon,” reads the first line of NBC News’s report, as of the time of writing. ABC 7’s headline led with the death of Jiminez, as did a headline at Buzzfeed.

The editorial decision to do so subsumes a grimly familiar story about intimate partner violence beneath a story about an attack on first responders—an all-too-common trend in reporting on mass shootings. All too often, the perpetrators of these shootings are men with a history of domestic violence. It was the case in Tallahassee and in Sutherland Springs, in Newark and in cities across America. Just as O’Neal was a victim of intimate partner violence, so were Jimenez and Less.

She has a problem with expressing herself.

Here, let me help.

For every one sensible thing you say, there’s three thousand batshait crazy things you’ve said. Its really hard to tell when a moment will present itself, brief as it’ll be, where you’ll remove the tin foil hat (maybe to scratch your head) and make one sane comment.

What if all this guy could find as a weapon was a broomstick?

“Guns don’t…” ama wacha tu!:smiley:
