Now that we’ve established that the alleged gunman was white and non-Muslim, here’s a forecast for the week to come:
1)Thoughts and prayers from folks who could act to prevent this sort of thing but will instead work to ensure it happens again
2) Vague chatter about mental health that doesn’t lead to any action other than further stigmatizing the mentally ill
3) Framing of “lone wolf” gunman who allegedly had an accomplice-a woman of color, that folks will look to hoping for a “real” terror link
4) The president will make a mindblowingly offensive and/or tone deaf comment about this tragedy (worse than “warmest condolences”)
5) The National Anthem at sports games will be used as a memorial and any athlete who doesn’t participate will be shamed as anti-American
6) America will continue to sacrifice white lives in order to uphold the institutions (guns guns guns) designed to protect them from POC.
