I get the sense that she was trying to be clever. I bet it was a reply. Who ends a philosophical statement with "b***h?"

Most shooters aren't "white males".

Most shootings happen in "inner cities" abandoned by whites ... like Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Baltimore ....

Chicago alone:

Also, she works in pediatrics (helping infants and children), and she's talking about sacrificing them to wolves.

But most white males aren't shooters

The data you state is a deception.

They specifically go back to 1982, when the US was much more "white".

Even going back to 1982 only gets them to a slim 54% majority.

Imagine if they used present data.

Presently, there are many mass shootings by non-whites in the "inner cities" every week.

Never ceases to amaze me how many of these nutcases hold important jobs in the education or health industries. This is a truly sick person entrusted with patient's health.

North Korea fires ballistic missile that 'may have landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone'

North Korea has fired a ballistic missile, US and South Korean officials have confirmed.

The missile flew to the east and landed in the sea near Japan, analysts said. US officials confirmed the launch to Reuters, while South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff also confirmed details to the news agency Yonhap.

The Pentagon said it had detected a "probable" missile. Spokesman Colonel Rob Manning added: "We are in the process of assessing the situation and will provide additional details when available."

The South's unification minister added that signs of unusual activity had been detected in North Korea. Japan ordered an emergency meeting of cabinet ministers, the government's chief cabinet secretary said.

The test came just days after Mr Trump added North Korea to the US list of state sponsors of terror and unveiled new sanctions targeting its shipping, moves Pyongyang had called a "serious provocation and violent infringement".

Minutes after the North fired the missile, South Korea's military conducted a missile-firing test in response to the provocation, the South Korean military said.

It comes after two US government sources revealed earlier in the day that government experts believed North Korea could conduct a new missile test within days. It is the first launch since it fired a missile over Japan in mid-September.

North Korea has this year escalated its nuclear weapons programme, launching a series of hydrogen bomb and missile tests, leading analysts to conclude the rogue state could soon be in striking distance of the US mainland.

Reports of the launch came after the US announced it would begin testing its nuclear warning siren system in Hawaii for the first time since the Cold War.
