Alright, so let me expain why this is relevant and import to the SJ community:

Shooter is a white male, in his 50s or 60s. Shooter was shouting racial slurs in the bar. Someone stood up to him, at which point he shot three people. Two of the people (according to witnesses) were of indian or middle eastern descent. His neighbours claim he is a vet with PTSD who possibly got bad news about a health issue today. Kansas is a state which allows concealed carry without a license, and where you can buy a gun at a flea market without a background check.

Tell me which of those items you believe will be focused on by politicians if they even decide to talk about this shooting.

(Also, so far, only info on victims' condition is two are in critical, one in serious.)
