Why does the media portray right wingers as being the violent mass murderers?

They do? I don't think they do...

I wonder what kraychik thinks about this.

Most of the mass murderers have been liberals. Moobopper

I don't really think this is true.

Naw it's not right wingers the portray as mass murderers, it's crazy white dudes, which is in line with the demographics for mass murder perpetuators (yes I know the DC sniper was black).

The only mass murders are the crazy white people.Fightingfan

Mass murderes? That's insane, no one portrays them as such. Crazy, insane, delusion, idiots... sure. A large portion of them are, but not murderers.

I would like to see statistics that prove that mass murderers are likely white. That's said about serial killers all the time, but whites are actually underrepresented amongst serial murderers.Rhazakna

There is truth to what you're saying, but it doesn't take away the fact that whites commit these mass murders on schools at a frequent rate. They also are serial killers, how many black serial killers have there been. There must be some, but not as many.

Of course not all white people are like that... obviously it's a minority... but it's there.

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"][QUOTE="zenogandia"]It's quite obvious. When was the last time you heard of a black person commiting a mass murder? Rarely. Yet we had multiple whites last year.

I just noticed that every right wing thread ends up being a race thread. Perhaps we should all hug and love each other, before this thing explodes :):oops: Who wants a manly hug?

This timeline is interesting. I don't know how complete it is, but it's still interesting.

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"] I would think that amongst street gangs, such a thing wouldn't be all that uncommon. Of course, the media doesn't usually report on those killings in general. Also, in general, going by media coverage to glean insight into a demographic trend is a terrible idea. Rhazakna

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"][QUOTE="zenogandia"]But the media does. Aren't blacks potrayed as Violent, thugs, gangsters and more?

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"] Seems to be in order. Their idea that men are more violent because of "male privilege" and socialization and not biology (to some degree at least) seems rather spurious to me, though.Rhazakna

[QUOTE="Rhazakna"][QUOTE="Yusuke420"]Yeah, I didn't agree with that slant either, but you could make a convincing argumemnt that it is a factor.ghoklebutter

The media protrays gun owners ingeneral as right-wingers, but not mass murderers. A Gallup poll showed that a higher percentage of self-identified GOPers were gun owners (55-40 or thereabouts), however the percentage of left-wing gun owners was rising.

Well they do tend to be angry all the time but I've never seen them being called mass murderers before.

I haven't noticed it from the media but one particular trend that is troubling is how most cartoonists portray the NRA and assault weapons.

There's so much ignorance and stupidity, I think it's starting to be contagious. Generalizations are for the weak-minded and foolish, and anyone has the capacity to do evil deeds regardless of their political affiliation or beliefs. We've seen people who espoused hatred towards the "elites" as well as kill abortion doctors, b they're not representatives of anyone. They're nothing but sick and twisted individuals who took their ideology too far.

Most of these shooters have been young males. No idea about their political ideology. Virginia Tech shooter was not white male btw.
