If the United States government actually surveilled the communications & social media of white boys & men like they do everybody else - they'd see thousands of warning signs that these mass shootings were going to happen.
The #SantaFe shooter was a public white Neo-Nazi gun nut
The #SantaFe shooter was a literal terrorist. In addition to an arsenal of guns & ammo, he had a cache of bombs planted in multiple locations.
The warning signs were not hidden. He publicly embraced hate & violence.
It sincerely got a pass because he was white. That's it.
This much is clear to me.
The United States government is not going to confront the crisis of guns or of white supremacy/bigotry.
In fact, Trump has emboldened this ugly nexus.
Whatever is going to get done, we must do it ourselves.

It's actually a despicable update on illegal false arrests from the NYPD. It's utterly shameful that they city has allowed these actions to continue for years on end.
Police & prosecutors should be arrested for what I am about to report.
The City of New York has ROBBED Pedro Hernandez of his childhood. He literally spent his entire high school matriculation fighting for his life with these bogus charges from police & prosecutors.
New York will ultimately pay his family tens of millions of dollars for this.
1. Tyrese Revels is shot on July 12th, 2015.
Pedro Hernandez was arrested for it on July 14th, 2015.
All charges were dismissed against Pedro on February 29th, 2016.
He openly & blatantly lied about his very relevant behaviors including his own words describing them in his yearbook - i.e. boofing, devil's triangle, etc.
An investigation would easily prove this.
Yesterday, Dr. Ford's testimony was calm, methodical, reflective, honest, patient, detailed, and imminently believable.
Brett Kavanaugh was a yelling, screaming, crying, sniffling, snorting, unhinged, privileged baby - avoiding questions left and right all day long.
Brett Kavanaugh's freshman roommate at Yale openly said that Kavanaugh was an uncontrollable drunk who would repeatedly become violent when intoxicated.
