But where is Al Sharptons outrage of a black man killing people. Wrong color Al and Today show. If a white man, you would totally dissect his who he is.

Yes; thanks to the liberal DA this man was allowed to legally carry. We need to enforce the laws we have!!

Typical democrat fail. Again. Btw, aren’t guns banned at MSU?

Wasn’t he released from felony concealed weapon charges by a woke DA?

how are they legally purchased but unregistered? and how was he able to purchase firearms in his mental state?

People kill people, not guns - no matter how unregistered they are. This person was insane.

Why is it you only state the race of the shooter if they're white?
