March 23, 2021: Colorado Supermarket Shooting - Ten Dead

 

3/23/21: The death toll from the shooting at the Colorado supermarket rises to ten. No known motive has been offered for the shooter, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. His “Muslim” name, however, is likely to rivet the attention of the right-wing nuts who will suggest again that we cannot trust: 

Muslims

Immigrants

People with dark skin. 

Naturally, he used an AR-15 variant, the weapon of choice for psychotic individuals bent on mass murder.

SADLY, the misfit shooter in Atlanta on March 16 was a 21-year-old white man and a member of a Christian Evangelical church. That would mean we can’t trust: 

Christians

Native-born persons

People with white skins.

 

As CNN also notes, in just seven days there were seven shootings with four or more killed and wounded. Five were shot and wounded by a drive-by shooter in Stockton, California. Four were shot and wounded in Portland, Oregon. Five were shot inside a Houston club, with one victim, shot in the neck, left in critical condition. An unknown assailant shot and killed one person in Dallas and wounded seven. A hundred and fifty people were attending an illegal party in Philadelphia when at least one shooter opened fire, killing one partygoer, and injuring five. (See: 3/25/21 and 3/29/21.)


The suspect in the Colorado massacre was ruled incompetent to stand trial.
