Thomas Bruce, a 53-year-old Jefferson County man, was arrested today and charged with murder and sodomy in a deadly attack on women at the Catholic Supply store in west county.
Bruce's motives remain a mystery. He has no criminal history, and investigators are still scanning databases in search of any contacts he might have had with law enforcement. Online, Bruce describes himself as a Navy veteran. He'd posted on Twitter in support of conservative positions, including #MAGA — a hashtag for "Make America Great Again" used by Trump supporters — in his bio.

Revealed: the stark evidence of everyday racial bias in Britain
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-n…
+
We are just animals, and we have developed biological level filters to help us distinguish between kinship and foreign. Race, along with hair colour, eye colour, accents down to protein markers within our cells are just clues to help us categorise a fellow human. We categorise very quickly information that is input into our brain, a evolutionally winning technique as it allowed us to react quickly to a dangerous encounter. Until recently (the last 100 years or so) the average Britain didn't encounter people of different race often. Outside of the capital or port cities, it was rarer still to meet someone from a neighbouring town/village nevermind a foreign land.
We now live in a country of rapid multi race and cultural integration. I find the tone of the Guardian article condescending - as if they expect humans to immediately treat someone as an equal when they are seemly constrained by biological level reactions that have developed over 1000's of years. I wish they'd dig further than the surface and try to example at a biological level why the human animal judges a slightly different human animal in such ways. It's not just race indicators that garner different reactions, height and weight come with stereotypes and bias reactions. Hair colour too, blond women are supposed be a bit dim is a prevalent stereotype in the UK.
Further more, why the pressure on the white native of Britain to be so accommodating - there is a very unreported bias from the opposite direction within Britain.
I think it's time we accept we are just animals and look towards evolutional biology to understand better why we have racial bias along with many other different kinds of bias towards our fellow human animal. I offer no solutions. We simply have to wait for biology to evolve and catch up to where our government ideologies are taking us.
- Yup, that's exactly what I mean when I refer to "unnatural liberal idealism" - we're slightly advanced monkeys. We can't be pushed too quickNairn
- It's the exact reason for Brexit — The UK's had c'wealth immigration for decades, then EU, then all else on top - it's too much, too quick. Why the surprise?Nairn
- Now we have the liberal political classes slowly realising the impact they've had since the 90s. Well, it's too late - and now we have rising fascism.Nairn
- Congratulations!Nairn
- Sorry - to clarify - I think the relative trickle of c'wealth migration and the EU was about at the ok level, just about socially sustainable.Nairn
- the problem with that < is that you can use the same argument to justify any behaviour you want. there are plenty of people studying evolutional biologyFax_Benson
- and while they do, we should have enough faith in ourselves not to be horrible to other people as a reflex - and be able to discuss immigration like adultsFax_Benson
- Faith in ourselves to not be horrible, perhaps. Expectation of faith in others to accept another's imposition and not begrudge it in anyway?Nairn
- was talking more in reference to shape's thing about excusing cuntery on the grounds that we're animalsFax_Benson
- Oh, right.
