In a column written hours after the mass-killing in San Bernardino yesterday, Ann Coulter complained that the only reason people believe that white men commit the majority of such attacks is because the media’s convinced them that they do.
“After 20 years of nearly non-stop mass murder by non-white immigrants in a country that is still majority white,” she wrote, “our media have the audacity to claim that tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims are less dangerous than the most pacific human beings in world history: 21st-century white American men.”
As evidence, Coulter rattled off a list of non-white immigrants who have committed mass-shootings, like the “mixed-race immigrant, Elliot Rodger, [who] committed mass murder at a sunny college campus in Santa Barbara.” Rodger’s mother is Malaysian, but to call Rodgers an “immigrant” when he moved with his family from London to the United States when he was five years old seems something of a stretch. Even by Coulter’s own logic, Rodgers’ parents would qualify as “the right kind of immigrant” — wealthy, well-educated, and from a First World country.
She continued her defense of “the most pacific human beings in world history” on Twitter, noting that:
The longer we go without being told the race of the shooters, the less likely it is to be white men. #sorryNYT

MSNBC calling San Bernardino shooting workplace violence. I think it could still be pro-lifers.

On MSNBC, Jim Cavanaugh saying ISIS & al Qaida way off the table. Could be revenge or domestic terrorism.

First San Bernardino shooter named: Syed Farook. If this trend persists, expect mass suicides at HuffPo.

FBI has conceded, guardedly, that it MAY be a terrorist episode. They're dragging out this investigation like a Latin American vote count.

And, of course, she couldn’t help but take a Trump-like potshot:
Forget the terrorism, crime, welfare etc. Why are we bringing in ppl who are ugly? My Tinder immigration application process much better.
