My understanding of the White Supremacist/Nationalist man at the age of 19 to early 20s and not involved in a relationship is that they are a lone wolf. They are alone, dedicated and began their indoctrination in their early teens.
Computer isolation definitely contributes to their indoctrination. The isolation defines their masculine identity in violence and hate. The hate defines their spirituality.
White Supremacist language and symbols are not well known to teachers, parents or American society in general. That "secret" identity plays right into the identity of a teen boy that basically has trouble being accepted socially. The secret society and aloneness support them emotionally. They no longer need acceptance in any social situation. They have been removed from American society in it's values all while still attending school, etc.
Americans like to think they can take on such dynamics and turn it around. By the age of 19 that isn't possible. The secret society and it's value system is now about six years in the making in a 19 and 20 year old White Supremacist.

President Trump did well with his speech. I congratulate him on denouncing White Supremacy/Nationalism and naming Domestic Terrorism as a reality in the USA. I appreciate his words to the Mexican President.
I hesitate to criticize any of the measures President Trump called for to protect the American people. There will have to be academic support in passing such a bill to ensure their validity and tenacity when opposed in the courts.
Most of the measures he mentioned have been called for before without success. The "Red Flag" laws might actually have teeth to bring about the arrest of people believed to be domestic terrorists. What comes to mind is the episode with the Boston Bomber that was interviewed by the FBI. He was never removed from society to protect people from his plans. It gets tricky when finding people acting in anticipation of killing. Perhaps these new laws will result in protections of the people.
Video games have been criticized before and resulted in a code to maintain control by adults over violent content. If indeed this continues to be an issue, what measure will finally end indoctrination of violence?
There is an element missing in his plans and that is a moratorium of any further sales of assault weapons. They aren't needed. They aren't used in hunting and they have only one purpose to kill people. Some states have passed laws that contain these guns from killing people. Those state laws have survived the scrutiny of the Supreme Court and need to be considered for national application to end the availability of these guns.
I thank President Trump for bringing strong words to end the danger to people within the borders of the USA. I can only hope Congress acts and soon and these deaths end once and for all.

Democrats on Sunday (click here) called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to reconvene the upper chamber to vote on House legislation that would expand background checks for gun buyers in the wake of deadly mass shootings in Texas and Ohio over the weekend.
“One awful event after another. Leader McConnell must call the Senate back for an emergency session to put the House-passed universal background checks legislation on the Senate floor for debate and a vote immediately,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.
Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Bernie Sanders (I-V.t.) similarly urged McConnell to bring the Senate back into session following the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, which took place within 24 hours of each other. At least 29 people died and scores more were injured in the two shootings....

Looks like Ohio needs a better Governor.

As Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (click here) spoke at a community gathering after the Dayton shooting, the crowd erupted in chants of "Do something."
In the wake of Dayton's mass shooting Sunday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine was shouted down by a crowd of vigil attendees wanting action.
As he took the stage in the Oregon District of Dayton, the location of Sunday's mass shooting, and commented on the size of the crowd gathered, he was met with chants.
"Do something!" the crowd chanted over and over.
Dewine's first act as a newly elected Governor was to reverse a gun law which placed a priority of gun regulation according to the "Gun Control Act of 1968,"
(L) "Dangerous ordnance" (click here) does not include any of the following:
(7) Any firearm with an overall length of at least twenty-six inches that is approved for sale by the federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives under the "Gun Control Act of 1968," 82 Stat. 1213, 18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(3), but that is found by the bureau not to be regulated under the "National Firearms Act," 68A Stat. 725 (1934), 26 U.S.C. 5845 (a).

Saying that his signature represented (click here) “a reaffirmation of the Second Amendment,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed his first bill into law Monday afternoon
House Bill 86, which corrects a drafting error in gun-related legislation that the Republican-controlled General Assembly passed late last year, took effect immediately as an emergency measure.
The new law corrects inadvertent wording that included firearms with an overall length of at least 26 inches — taking in many rifles and shotguns — as “dangerous ordnance.”
Groups such as the Buckeye Firearms Association, Ohioans for Concealed Carry and the Ohio Gun Collectors Association, whose leaders attended the bill-signing ceremony, lobbied lawmakers to swiftly correct the mistake.
The GOP-ruled Senate passed the new bill recently by a party-line 23-9 vote, while the House approved it 76-20.
House Bill 228, which the emergency measure corrected, does not take effect until March 28. It further forbids local governments from imposing restrictions on guns and shifts the burden of proof in self-defense cases from the defendant to prosecutors.

Both killers wore hearing protection, the kind found in a shooting gallery where people practice with their guns. I think that is a methodology. It prevents the sounds of people running and screaming from being overpowering to end the shooting. I think it prevented distraction. I doubt they wore it to prevent hearing loss.
Trump said, "...it is only going to get worse..." That is an invitation.
There is a very fluid border at El Paso.
Immigration is not the issue in El Paso. It is an international incident. I think the Foreign Minister is correct. It was an attack against Mexicans. There is no doubt about it. The shooter was a White Nationalist. This is not an immigration issue in El Paso. There was a free flow of people between the USA and Mexico at El Paso. Mexicans worked in El Paso and went home at night. The people shopping at the place where they realized their deaths were there to conduct their everyday lives. Immigration has nothing to do with the El Paso deaths.
The shootings in the past week have realized the deaths of children, very young children. Two and three year olds.
In stating the situation is only going to get worse means there is nothing that is going to be done by Congress. Nothing will change.
Invasion indicates harm to others. Invasion is not the word to characterize the people coming from the Northern Triad. They are refugees. The people are unarmed and have no agenda of harm. Invasion is no different than infested, both words indicate harmful circumstances. Those words used in relation to human beings are inflammatory.

Mexico on Sunday (click here) threatened to take legal action against the United States for failing to protect its citizens after this weekend's mass shooting in the border city of El Paso.
Of the 20 people gunned down at a Walmart at the Cielo Vista Mall, at least seven were Mexican citizens, and Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard promised Mexico City will act.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called the attack in El Paso a "terrorist act against innocent Mexicans."
