It's a huge double standard. If the shooter is Muslim or Mexican, Trump would be declaring all out war, bans on huge groups of people, deport people, tear families apart, do whatever it takes, etc. etc. his supporters would be foaming at the mouth for "justice".

But a white dude? Oh ... nothing can be done. Just send your prayers.

When a colored person does it it's an indictment on everyone of that group in America. If a white dude does it, it's a "lone nut". Colored people are not afforded the luxury of being seen as individuals in this country, they get to be grouped together and stigmatized if someone in their group does something terrible, but if it's a white guy, well it's not like there's any calls for white men to be banned or even screened more heavily at casinos, or schools, or movie theaters. 

Tell me about it. Bill O'Reilly dismissed the shooting as "the price of freedom" in the US. The tone would have been far different if it would have been someone the color of a paper bag and darker.
