I'm not willing to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who, with his family in the car, follows a stranger home to kick his ass based on interpretation of driving skills.
Actually, the victim followed the shooter to the shooter's home to "kick his ass" after a road rage incident and was subsequently shot and killed. Probably not a good idea to follow someone home to "kick his ass". Sad, but the victim was foolish in following anyone home after an altercation on a road.
In Iraq, he raided insurgents. In Virginia, the police raided him, all because of a mistake. Of course, apologies were not forthcoming.

That belongs on the Fascism thread. All citizens deserve the respect you two want an Iraq veteran to receive.
My guess is neither you nor knowell nor Raleigh actually read the opinion piece, because it's actually a takedown of aggressive police tactics, militarization, etc.
What's not desensitization?
That's what I thought you were referencing. I think ONW is likely correct. People have tuned mass killings out because they happen so frequently - generally due to guns. If the massacre of 20 elementary school kids doesn't turn the tides, nothing ever well. America's stuck with its mass shooting issue because they're clinging ferociously to their guns.
I disagree. It gets tuned out because these things are conducted by madmen and drug dealers in the inner cities. Most people do not associate with either of those categories of people.
Except when the gunman is Muslim, right? That doesn't get the tune-out treatment.
Also use of the term "inner city" is a huge tell for being out of touch with America in 2015.

Can you tell me more about the inner city in America in 2015? I want to know more about it.
