Let's start by pointing out that the shooter is nuts and needs to be caught or killed. Preferably caught so we can hear the motivation. That being said, the coverage of the shooting and the response is irritating.
Immediately it's being called a hate crime and race based. The MSM is running with that so tensions will be high and people might get hurt because of it. Meanwhile, nobody knows this asshole's true intent. He might hate God, he might have randomly picked a building to murder people, he might have had a beef with someone there, etc.
Why do we need to immediately label this a hate crime just because the victims are black and the shooter white? This is the arbitrary bullshit Malcolm talks about elsewhere. Why stir the pot unnecessarily? Labeling crimes like this and sensationalizing them creates more hatred. It's not helping to unite anyone.
Community organizer Christopher Cason said he felt certain the shootings were racially motivated.
"I am very tired of people telling me that I don't have the right to be angry," Cason said. "I am very angry right now."
Really sir? People have been telling you that you don't have a right to be angry? Bullshit. All I ever get told about by the MSM and politicians and civil rights leaders is how angry black folks are and how they have a right to be, and how honkeys should just shut the fuck up and accept it because being white means you live in utopia.

We need action. There's a race problem in our country. There's a gun problem in our country. We need to act on them quickly.
There's a people like you problem in our country.
Today I feel like it's 9-11 again
Goddamnit, no! We'll have another useless federal agency created.

You racist bastard! Obama was a community organizer!

Exactly my point. It drove me nuts when people were saying Obama had more executive experience as a "community organizer" than Palin had as a governor, but it drives me nutser that all those people who said it then now deny saying it.

When congresswoman Giffords was shot in AZ they waited about the same amount of time before declaring it was probably a Tea Party member, so at least their consistent with their irresponsibility.

Turns out there may have been reason to label it such
Witnesses say the gunman stood up and said he was there "to shoot black people," a law enforcement official said. The shooter is also thought to have used a handgun, according to the official.
... president [Obama] said lawmakers should address the easy availability of guns, which he said helps make such tragedies possible, adding that he has “had to make statements like this too many times.”
Just fuck you.

He handled that better than B. Rock handled this. I can't believe I'm defending Reagan, either.

His immediate capture and his admission will help this wound heal rather quickly.
It'll also help curb any potential "related violence".

People flocked to Twitter on Friday to lob angry comments at the team using #CaucasianHeritageNight. Melanie Monroe, a Hispanic, said every night is Caucasian heritage night.
Except for these other nights.
Filipino American History Month, LGBT History Month : October
Black History Month: February
Irish-American evil white people History Month: March
Jewish American evil people History Month: May
Nat'l Hispanic Heritage Month: mid-September through mid-October
Only jeebus knows how many others.

The irony is the night wasn't to "celebrate" whites but poke at stereotypes. If you read the list of what they had in mind, it'd be like having watermelon and fried chicken at your African American Night.
Yet no one is angry at the poked at stereotypes, unlike if it were any other race being poked.
