Where's the outrage over Virginia shooting?

Question

Appomatox, Virginia 8 people dead. So another disgruntled white male gets a guns and kills people? Where's all the outrage? Why aren't we calling it terrorism? Why are we not calling for the  deportation of all white men from America? After all, statistically, over 99% of all mass shootings in the US have been by white males....maybe Muslims aren't the problem after all. Where's the fear and outrage?

True that, sister.

Terrorist acts are committed to instill fear so that people can be more easily manipulated/coerced into a certain political belief.
It is not an impulsive act of rage, but, a thought out plan to achieve long rage goals.
I read/watch the news daily, but saw nothing of this-perhaps because of Mass election and Haiti. Can't answer this question more completely due to this.
But, please remember, we are not deporting terrorists. We are paying for lawyers to defend them after they try to kill us. We provide them constitutional rights, even though they are enemy combatants.
I will tell you where the outrage: it is within the American people.

Maybe there isn't outrage because it's not highly publicized. I did not hear about this until I read your question. Sad news, and yes it does make sense that it would be white males(born and raised there) doing this. If you escape your country for a better life in the usa, it doesn't make sense to go around shooting in the country you dreamed of making a life in. Just my two cents..but trust me, if I lived in Virginia right now, I would be very afraid to go outside if it's just random shootings until the person gets caught.

i guess its become common place,gun crime in general that is,people become lethargic.Also the press decide what is important too often.Afghanistan is the big deal at the moment as well as world economies.
  your right there should be more outrage,but we have to ask what it is it that drives people to do these things.Its a tough question?

Good question.

Where was the mass outrage over radical Christianity when Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building in Oklahoma City? Where was the mass outrage over radical Christianity when a man set off a bomb during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics to protest feminists, homosexuals and abortion? Where was the outrage over abortion clinic bombers, and the man who shot George Tiller? The majority Christian population of this country cannot comprehend the fact that there are religious extremists right here in our own country ... and not always Muslim, but often Christian. But when it's a Christian that does it, it barely gets any media attention. If it's a Muslim? All hell breaks loose. There's a double standard in this country.

True, wish Gun was never invented, when people actually has a chance to defend them self.  Yes you can buy gun to defend your self, but there's too many tragic case when people forgot to lock their guns nd result of children using it etc..
