I'm guessing you haven't traveled out of the country much. If you think the US is a "nightmare" you'd be fucked in most other countries. Ever wonder why you never hear about stuff like this happening in Asian countries on world news? Because the government completely controls the news.
China has "revenge against society" attacks all the time. It's where (typically a man) will drive his car into a crowd of school children and kill/injure like 30 of them. They do this because they're so mad at the government but aren't allowed to actually say anything critiquing the government for fear of being black bagged.
Go to a developing nation, it will change your outlook on the American "nightmare" very quick.
Yes, but no. Those gangs tent to go with a heavy dose of intimidation, and less true action. The republicans do plenty of action though, but they claim it is all legal. So still different.
As a trans person, you fuckers climb over each other to blame us for every shooting that happens when the actual percentage of trans shooters is so insignificant that it brings down the per-capita rate. But pointing out that white conservative men easily take the lion's share of mass shooters by nearly every metric is the problem?
Edit: oof this guy's post history is full of Nazi shit
And they hoodwink the rest of humanity with "holocaust."
Guilt for that shit should have run out 70 years ago.
What's racist about the assumption? The vast majority of shootings in the us are by white men, and at a group celebrating a black event the number goes up. The main group of people doing mass shootings in the us is white males at 55%, 87 out of 159:
mass shooters are 98% male, so thats a wash, its basically all of them, so lets go with your race callout.
White males do 55% of the shootings, but whites are 72.1% of the US population. So they are underrepresented in the number of shooters-- you'd expect whites to do 72.1 percent of the mass shootings and they dont. So not that white conservatives arent a problem for a lot of reasons, but it seems like your theory doesnt hold up around racism alone. Theres more going on than that.

And this is just mass shootings, the number goes up for individual/specific shootings.

You think its racist to be aware that most terrorism is from white conservatives?
Its based on data mostly, I know you probably aren't familiar with the idea, but it is possible to use past historical data to inform yourself.
Edit: Oh, your just a Nazi
