In reply to the discussion: A weird thought about the school shooter [View all]grumpyduck
(6,223 posts)20. Maybe we need to get some English teachers involved
but I believe that "I have to wonder if things had gone differently if he were black" qualifies as a question. At least most of the posters here took it that way. And they gave polite responses.
Okay, since the issue is being pushed: "Would things have gone differently, in any of the fifty states, if the shooter had been black?"

I am not ok with a post that brings up a question regarding race and then points to Florida.

I have a high post count, so I'LL ask: How would the shooter have been treated if he were black?
