I know that Whbilbo, Jmvvana, or any player who recently got the news of the shooting, would likely post this with some strong words, or not. But, I found out minutes ago, and it tells me that the incident happened because the shooter was depressed to see the amount of hate his people have gotten, in the past few months, because the man is African American. This crime would have likely never been committed if it wasn’t for racism, specifically in the United States.
If you would ask me if I, ever (in my life), felt better than someone, I would say yes (it’s being selfish). But if it was because of his race, it would be no.
The death toll was the major question that came out of, what I think, everyone’s mind. After the shooting occurred, the death toll has five police officers dead.
I am sorry to the people that had to endure the incident, and I am sorry to the officers that had a tough time in protecting the people of Dallas. I don’t want to see any hateful comments in this topic, and I hope that everyone who has any horrible thoughts, or fells vengeful, to go to therapy, rather than cause a catastrophe, and likely have your face on the news.
I’m sorry, but what I’m reading here is “it’s not the shooter’s fault, because the victims were racists”
EDIT: rereading it, it now looks to be “it’s the victims’ fault, because they were racist”, which implies they somehow deserved it.
It was a tragic occurrence, out of a riot over the death of an African American by police. However, the protest did not remain peaceful. Shots rang out, killing several officers, which is terrible. These officers defend our country day to day, and if these protesters find the need to murder someone out of vengeance, especially if said person keeps our streets and cities clean disgusts me. Racism is an issue, but it should absolutely not go to the point of five police officers dead.
Up until the actual shooting the protest was actually very peaceful. This was nothing like Ferguson with some burning buildings and cars. You could see the protesters running for their lives in the many videos taken. The general protest was fine, it was the actions of 2-3 individuals that was the problem. I do agree violence is never the answer though, just do not blame this on what would’ve been a peaceful protest if the shooting didn’t happen.
Sending my deepest condolences to Dallas, the entire Texas law enforcement community, and all those affected by the recent tragedies across the United States.

Asmodean, you’re right, violence wasn’t the answer. The people who killed the five officers could have joined the protest peacefully, or just walk away. Acting vengeful only brings more terror to the people.
