The Shootings Will Continue Until Morale Improves

There you have it. Three shootings this week (in case you want more than a meme, here is the 2nd one and 3rd). I actually hadn't heard about any of them. It appears that if shootings don't reach double digits, we're not going to mention them. Not when the act is carried out by a white male, at least.

The same thing happened in the veteran community when some asked for common sense laws others jumped on them and called them names (or the veteran equivalent of "shitbag") even if critical reading doesn't seem to be many people's strong suit. 
Indeed, there's a kind of instransitivity and intersectional aspect to this one front of the culture war. And if people of the 2nd amendment claim that they need only one (more recent) interpretation of the 2nd amendment, I know they don't care about the Constitution when it comes to other amendments they find inconvenient [2].
I'll be the first to admit that I never thought it would last this long, these attacks on suburban America (the vast majority of these are just that). 
See, I was solely in the Eminem camp, thinking "And look where it's at. Middle America, now it's a tragedy, now it's so sad to see, in upper class cities havin' it happenin'" (my own take on the words, not sure if they're accurate). 
Now I see it's not so. Or the idiotic pervasiveness of white supremacy is so widespread that no one is willing to take a stand. 
Every single one of these shootings you have people claim they never believed it could have happened here. 
And so it keeps happening that people don't seem to make a connection between shootings in leafy suburb X and their own. 
Sure the stats are on the side of it not happening in your area, but when compared to the reactions to other minor things like other forms of terrorism, one does see that odd discrepancy that can only be explained by white supremacy (white males are doing it, so it's fine). 
I don't say this with ease. There's a part of me that knows to track the money and so gun companies must be behind this push and propaganda. Yet there's more to it because other industries do deal with public outcries (as they usually should in a democracy) and the only way to describe that odd shift is white supremacy. Why else would people cut off their nose to spite their face?
[1] Note that I am against the odd focus on solely assault rifles when we should be talking about handguns as well, since those kill more people than assault rifles, to say nothing of suicides which are a problem as well. 
[2] Look up civil forfeiture if you want some insomnia. Reading a few of those cases, then reading Gulag Archipelago , one is struck by how tame some of those cases are, especially when compared to how minority groups have and continue to be targeted here in the US.
