The headline did not say WHITE shooter like was immediately reported for the leftist progressive democrat terrorist today.
If the shooter is a person of color, it will be minimalized by the media, like the larget mass shooting of 2017 was a week or two ago.

So, the shooter apparently killed himself after shooting several people, according to reports.
Here's the kicker in *one* article's description:
The gunman was wielding an assault pistol, according to San Francisco Police Department Sgt. Toney Chaplin.
What the hell is an "assault pistol?"

An "assault" weapon that can't be shouldered. Technically, it's an "assault" rifle shortened and classified by hair splitters.
The ethologist John B. Calhoun coined the term "behavioral sink" to describe the collapse in behavior which resulted from overcrowding. Over a number of years, Calhoun conducted over-population experiments on Norway rats (in 1958–1962) and mice (in 1968–1972). Calhoun coined the term "behavioral sink" in his February 1, 1962 report in an article titled Population Density and Social Pathology in the Scientific American weekly newspaper on the rat experiment. Calhoun's work became used as an animal model of societal collapse, and his study has become a touchstone of urban sociology and psychology in general.
After day 600, the male mice just stopped defending their territory, listless mice congregated in the centres of the Universe. These gangs would burst into pointless and sporadic violence. Females stopped reproducing and even started attacking their own young. Mortality rose phenomenally. Roaming mice either attacked or attempted to mount others, irrespective of relation or gender, cannibalism and other acts of depravity consumed them. These were the feral ones. Then there were the ‘beautiful ones.’
The ‘beautiful ones’ withdrew themselves ever so quietly, removing themselves from the sick society. Solitary pursuits began to define them; eating, drinking and grooming among others. No scars on their back or hairs out-of-place, these mice behaved like a separate race. They saw the world through their narrow scopes, as they tossed, turned and tried to cope.
In the end the population sank, even when it was back down to a tolerable level none of the mice changed back. The change was irreversible, the mice were different now. The secluded females could still bear offspring and the beautiful ones had the capacity to help produce them yet it never came. This tipping over into irreversible societal collapse came to be known as ‘The Behavioral Sink.’ John Calhoun called it the first death. Death of the mind and soul, leading eventually to the second death, of the physical form. What he meant was that after the first death, the mice were no longer mice and could never be so again.
When police found him, he was still armed with an “assault pistol” which he then put to his head and killed himself, Chaplin said.
Police sources told KPIX 5 the employee was identified as Jimmy Lam.
An employee said the suspect in his mid 40s and lives in the Sunset with his children. This has not been confirmed by SFPD.

A coworker of Lam’s told ABC San Francisco’s Dan Noyes said that the gunman “had it out for the manager.” That coworker said that Lam had problems in his personal life.
Lam had a history of mental illness, according to NBC San Francisco’s Laura Garcia Cannon.

Wheres the cry havoc? Did it expend itself this morning in Va?

Yes, apparently small news compared to violent political news, since it's only seemingly workplace violence.

These "events" are just an excuse to f#k everyone legislatively.
Watch....Mark my words...

All firearms are illegal to posses in SF city limits, even pellet guns, unless you have a concealed carry permit.
It is almost impossible to get a comcealed carry permit.
These are almost certainly illegal firearms.

What pills was he on??
At the scene, law enforcement officers seized two guns, including a Mac 10-style machine pistol, and a backpack filled with ammunition and three magazines, sources said. NBC Bay Area has also learned that at least one of the guns found at the scene was unregistered.

During a Wednesday morning meeting, Lam walked up to driver Benson Louie and shot him. As his co-workers frantically fled the room, he shot Wayne Chan in the back, and then walked up to him and "finished him." Mike Lefiti was fleeing from the building when Lam went out onto the street and shot him, Cilia said witnesses told him.
Police identified the victims killed in the rampage late Wednesday as Wayne Chan, 56; Mike Lefiti, 46, and Benson Louie, 50. Police said their families have been notified.

Well, that's interesting.
A Mac-10 style gun, plus another firearm, one of which was unregistered.
I'm still curious what his supposed mental health issues were.
