More people play FPS style games here in Portugal. Did we ever got a mass shooting? I'm trying to remember. Once would expect Japan and South Korea to be nations filled with serial killers

I haven't been able to find that and was hoping you might have a source for it.
Boru This story has a summary - and a link to th FBI info which is rather lenghthy.... If ya have lots of time to kill...

Thanks. I skimmed several of the links (you're right - there's a LOT of info there) and could not find a single reference to white supremacy.
That being said, the warning signs and triggers listed don't necessarily preclude a shooter being a white supremacist. These include violent behaviour, depression, a sudden interest in firearms, being sacked from a job, and so on.
So, one can be a troubled white single male and conduct a mass shooting with or without being a white supremacist.

Boru White supremacists used to be seen as groups who got together and held rallies while waving Confederate flags and/or sporting Nazi emblems and/or KKK robes. Now we are finding solo white supremacists who look like the guy next door or in the next cube at the office. It's almost scarier that they look 'normal' and aren't advertising their stance and plans (if any) to the general public. Their manifestos and threats tend to appear on social media and not seen by a large number of people. It's only after an event like this that their intentions are made known. They are able to hide in plain site.

No argument. For every bloke who snaps when he loses his job and shoots five co-workers, there someone who wants to 'kill as many Mexicans as I can'.

Not anymore. Their most recent reports put white supremacy front and center in domestic terrorism.
“Mass shooter” is, very often, a euphemism for domestic terrorist.

El Paso Shooting (Yes, Again)
I see that the mass shootings continue in the USA.
meanwhile back in the UK the problem is being dealt with at source!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49222263
A man from Dublin has been charged with illegally importing firearms after 60 weapons were found in a car arriving in Dover from Calais.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the guns were found concealed in a Volkswagen Passat by the Border Force and NCA on Friday.

Yeah I clearly just showed evidence that they have ignored white nationalism . I did not pretend to have psychic powers. That's something you do.

Impressed I showed some links showing that they have done so it's not that impressive .But it is true .

It did, and the pressure to avoid openly discussing a threat they’d been tracking was political.
