The Muslims are praying to Allah that it's not one of them.

The Chinese, Japanese, North Koreans, etc., are hoping it's not an Asian.

The Hispanics are hoping it's not an illegal alien.

The blacks are hoping it's not yet another black crime.

The white liberals are hoping democrats aren't the cause.

The white conservatives are hoping it's not a white supremacist.

    I would say sort of. The news channels are already comparing it to the 9/11 incident. If it's a Muslim society thinks terrorist. If the person was Black society thinks criminal/thug. If they're north korean society thinks it'll lead to war. If the person was White society thinks they're mentally ill and gone through trauma. Of course not all of us think this but I hate the media and their steryotypes.

    I believe this is always the case.

    The ethnic groups being blamed for this is a touchy subject.

    Whoever it is, it should not really make a difference what ethnic group they are with.

    There will always be radicals.

    Actually if it was radical Islam, they will claim responsibility. They want people to know it was them.
