Have You Noticed That White Dudes Keep Mass Murdering People? |
This applies to black serial killers:
Maurice Clemons +5 victims | Charles Lee Thornton +8 victims |
Colin Ferguson +25 victims | Clifton McCree +5 victims |
Hastings Arthur Wise +7 victims | William D. Baker + 9 victims |
Omar Thornton + 11 victims | Nathan Dunlap +4 victims |
Included by Mother Jones: pictures of 16 white people, one with orange hair, and one posed in front of a swastika.
The guy backed by a swastika is Wade Michael Page, the Sikh Temple shooter. He's notable because he's the only white shooter apparently motivated by racism.
Every other white shooter on the list was motivated by something else.
Black shooters who definitely gave race as their motive.
Even more notably, Colin Ferguson, an immigrant from Jamaica, tried to use his racial motive as a defense in his trial. He called it the "Black Rage" defense.
So yes, Gawker Media, we have noticed something. But it was something you didn't want us to notice.
