More mass shootings

What? She's Iranian? We need more walls! More guns! More travel bans! Why isn't anyone DOING ANYTHING about this religion of death? What will it take? How many people have to die? How . . .

Wait - she's Persian? Where is that? Uh . . . thoughts and prayers. Nothing can be done. Don't politicize. Needs more study. Too soon to talk about it. These things happen. Let people heal. Anyone who wants action taken has no soul.

******So far this morning I've heard / seen reports of her being Iraqi, Iranian, Turkish and Afghani.


She's Persian.

Don't worry about it America. All those shithole countries are the same anyway. Totally populated by losers.

So Sad. So many haters and losers.

Dammit. You got the reply before I managed to delete my post!


My experience (and it's limited so may be wrong) is that Persian people don't like being called Iranian, despite that being their country of origin.

I'm sure they don't like being called Iraqi any more than I would.

I've got a lot of Iranian friends and I'd never heard that one. The only time one of them used Persia was during the hostage crisis. Vahid "Victor from Pittsburgh" Kashani was jumping with us in West Virginia and never knew who was joking around or what, like when Neil told him that his brother was one of the hostages and his Mother was getting upset while gearing Vahid up for a student jump. So he started telling everyone he was from Persia which worked since none of them knew that they were the same thing.

Of course not. It doesn't fit their agenda.

The only time I've heard them refer to themselves as Persian is when they're differentiating themselves from Arabs. The context was an Iranian coworker describing differences in food and how they eat. It's otherwise a dated word that nobody seems to use, like referring to Asian countries as the Orient. We now refer to Asia as a much more expansive continental reference but we don't refer to anything as the Orient because the differences between China, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc who make up that region are vast and there's no conceptual body that they form.

From my personal experience it is when they do not want to be associated with the current regime in Iran.

I haven't met a single Iranian that liked their country's regime, and there have been quite a few.

Vahid kept his Iranian citizenship for years then when his Father was dying he got permission to visit him. After they way they treated him he changed it as soon as he got back and now is a US citizen only.

Nothing to see here Bill! First off, the shooter was a woman. That destroys part of the narrative to begin with. Second she was extreme left-wing, a vegan and a member of PETA. Lastly, she used the pistol. That the story is over.

Bill's reply to you is a great example of the left losing the argument. You come across with a great point which is absolutely correct and he has to move towards shaming you into silence. Don't let him do that!

All guns should be restricted. Probably by one of the methods discussed here ad nauseum.

It doesn't matter whether a shooter is a man, woman, child, arab, christian or left OR right wing nutjob. Guns don't care about your politics or sex.

Look, story is open again.

That was simple enough.

I think you're missing the joke we're all sharing here. We're very much aware that people like you see this woman as some kind of Lefty Extremist and it's your big chance to throw mud.

Yet, it's another case of someone's unrestricted access to a firearm that enabled them to go from assault to murder.

There's no "losing the argument" because she's a vegan or a she. She killed people and she killed people with a gun, another statistic in American gun violence that doesn't happen as frequently in countries with tighter gun control laws.

All of which is totally irrelevant. Nutters shouldn't have access to guns regardless of gender, dietary preference or political affiliation.

As far as I know, she only killed herself, so fortunately her aim sucked when it came to shooting the other 3, relatively speaking.

The news of this story died fast because it did not fit the left gun ban narrative. Not a joke.

This story has not a fucking thing to do with access to guns.

The joke is on the left an its compliant left media!
