This is great because this board is already trying to do that....

the "calling of it for what it was" is still not established - all the evidence is not in, per the police:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/03/us/el-paso-texas-shooting-what-we-know/index.html
that's your lefties' CNN, you know. The article says this sicko murderer held these views for years before President Trump....
Not enough factual information out there only speculation.
This is the way far right terrorism works: it is foolish, bordering on suicidal, to attribute attacks like the El Paso shooting or the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting to “lone wolves”
the quote is typical "marching orders" from the leftist thought purveyors who shouldnt be allowed access to a keyboard...
no, the shootings like this and ALL others are done by sick lone wolves
with the exception of the radical islamic terrorists of course
Reason: El Paso Walmart Shooter Allegedly Wrote Anti-Immigrant Manifesto Calling Hispanics 'Invaders'
Like I said: right-wing, anti-immigrant terrorism.

The problem I have with this is (label intended to divide) terrorism. Does terrorism not effectively enough convey terrorism?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

No, because it should be classified. It is violence for a purpose
Terrorism - the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
What those political aims were defines the terrorism. Islamic extremists, extreme right wing, anarchy, whatever.

So I expect you're willing to both acknowledge the grim history of left wing terrorism in this country and take responsibility for it, then?

Beto O'Rourke links 'racist' Trump to El Paso shootings
AOL.COM 1 hr agoDemocratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Saturday blamed Donald Trump in part for the deadly El Paso shootings that killed 20 people because he said the president’s “racism” leads “to violence.”
O’Rourke attacked the president when he was asked by an ABC News reporter if Trump had any responsibility for the shootings.
“Yes,” O’Rourke flatly responded.
“We’ve had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years, during an administration where you have a president who’s called Mexicans rapists and criminals,” said the former Texas congressman and El Paso native.
“He is a racist, and he stokes racism in this country,” O’Rourke added.” It does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country and it leads to violence
CNN has been blaming Trump also.

Of course they would...they will blame this president for everything under the sun.

"Take responsibility"? What are you talking about?
If a terrorist had an extreme left wing manifesto than call him an extremist left wing terrorist. Idc. Whatever bias you think you're going to get out of me it isn't here.
Understanding the motives of a terrorist is an important step in trying to find a solution. I think you look at that and you look at how they were able to inflict their terror.

Again, what this board and other right wing folks did to Obama for 8 years and counting.
95% of the time it is just ridiculous political banter. But don't get all up in arms about one side doing it when they both do.
Though, again, I think Trump literally calling this an invasion, repeatedly, along with everything else he's said, isn't a great look.

It has been an invasion. What else do you call hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the border (Illegally) ?.

I think that this type of violence has been in high fashion for 20 years since rock stars were made of Harris and klebold. The same way as serial murder was in high fashion between the late 70's to mid 90's.
Most of these guys don't have severe mental problems just like a lot of serial killers don't. FBI profiler Robert Ressler does a nice job laying out the difference between "organized" and "disorganized" killers in his memoir "whoever fights monsters". It's a great read I'd recommend it.
I do think gun control would limit the body count but the psychology of it will keep people killing. I think that the internet itself is the biggest culprit in the fashion trend of mass shootings. Not guns, not political motivations, not Donald Trump although all of those things, with the exception of trump, play a role. The ability for friendless recluses to meet other people who already share their dark fantasy worlds in which they already live, to egg them on is the most prominent factor.

In an ideal world, it should. And it should be like that, regardless of where these shooters fall on the political spectrum.
However, it hasn't played out that way here on the board (which is also a microcosm for our country at large). Every time Antifa committed violence, it was labeled as leftie/left-wing/liberal/libtard, etc, violence by right-wing posters on here. Or, blame was placed on Obama or another left-leaning politician, and none of the right-wingers on here had a problem calling it that.
But, now that the ones pulling the trigger are politically to the right, now all of a sudden it's taboo to say that political rhetoric is fueling violence and that people take exception to it being called right wing violence (not including you Cysko; as far as I know, you haven't claimed such of others in the past). The hypocrisy by many of the more conservative members of this board on this subject is frankly disgusting and pretty cowardly.

Good point on the almost glamorization of these monsters by the news. Ben Shapiro over at the Daily Wire was one of the first to notice this in media and was also one of the first to prohibit his outlet from mentioning these shooters by name; several other news outlets have done the same. But, of course, most MSM still do because they want the ratings. It's pretty disgusting.
As for the psychological aspect of gun violence, I think Joe Rogan said it best on his podcast a few years back when he said that America doesn't have a gun issue, it has a mental health issue. Guns are just the medium that these nutbags are using to express their mental illnesses, unfortunately.

I just that if you insist on pointing fingers every time something happens it becomes a roadblock to any genuine solution. It becomes an exercise in blaming people who aren't actually responsible for actions perpetrated by people they share some similarities with. I do believe that very thing more than any other has fueled the "white supremacist" problem that's currently a thing. When it's in vogue to tell one group of people that they're purely awful and responsible for all the evils of the world sooner or later they're going to start acting the part.

And yes I'm fully aware the right similarly demonizes immigrants but specifically Latin immigrants which has only had the effect of making them more abrasive in their defiance of immigration laws.
