Oh lighten up, are all these comments and questions insensitive? yes
But tragedy happens all the time,
there is no sense in becoming scared or sad or whatever. Do I feel for the families?, not really, becasue i don't know them. But if I did I would be mourning instead of looking for an explanation on yahoo questions.

In the end in doesn't matter if he was white, black, or purple. Lives have been ended prematurely. Lives have been ruined for no reason. Innocence is stained with blood. I would NOT say that just because the shooter wasn't American, that there is any kind of silver lining. The only silver lining I see is that the coward killed himself and saved the taxpayers and the families the expense/grief of a long trial.
That being said, I am glad that this incident didn't feed the media's love of "exposing" white, males who were religious fundamentalists...If only they were equally concerned about the only race/ethnicities that DOES have a track record for mass murder and attemped mass murder in the past 15 years.
In a sense, it is easier to accept that an outsider committed the attack. For example imagine (God forbid!) that someone killed your father or mother. I would have to say that it would be easier to deal with if it was a stranger, than if it was a member of your family. I think that in some ways, that is comparable to this awful, awful, incident.
We should all keep these families in our prayers. I can't imagine the pain that is saturating that who community.

No, in the midst of this tragedy and needing desperately to hear my son's voice, though he is at another college, I did not think for one second - "Oh, boy at least it wasn't an American!" Can't even dredge that up now. I'm not RELIEVED about any part of this. But I am disturbed by many of the strange responses to this tragedy, and your question is one of them. How does one get their mind to twist around to make some strange connection like this? Never mind, I don't really want to know.

Actually the shooter was American. He had been a US citizen since 1992. So I guess he was one of our own.

I'm just glad he wasn't a white guy. I've gotten pretty tired of getting stereotyped, just because I'm white, kind of a loner, wear a long black coat, spend all my time playing violent video games, and have no friends.
