Active Shooter Situation at Ohio State

[Catholic_Lady]

The Somali and Somali Bantu community in Columbus is in a state of shock. A Somali Bantu friend of mine posted:

"Why ya'll Somalis have to do something like this? Ya'll mess up your own country and drive us out, now you come mess up over here? Stabbing innocent people? Who does that? It's a crying shame, and we'll all pay for this crime, that's how it is. There are almost 40,000 Somalis and Somali Bantus in Columbus and this one fool has undone all the trust we earned."

I compulsively corrected some spelling and punctuation. She learned English in SC (partly from me) and types the way she talks. When she says 'Somalis', she means clan Somalis, as distinguished from Somali Bantus. As a side note, a random population of 40,000 Americans would contain roughly two murderers on average.

Yeah, I think we should still let Somalian refugees come. The vast majority of them are just innocent families looking for a place to stay. I'm sure I would probably feel differently if my bro had been one of the people who got hurt, but objectively speaking, letting them in is the right thing to do regardless.  

As for your last paragraph though, not to be nit picky, but it probably isn't a good comparison. Most murders that occur here are isolated events where a man kills his wife or girlfriend or something. If we're talking about murders as in people who would go out in public and start killing random strangers in mass, the number would be much smaller I am sure.
