I have never known Tucker to be right.
(I’m trying to be nice, so this time I’ve spelled it the way he does, with a T at the front.)
He’s right, though, in this one case, to say that just getting numbers on your side is not the only step White Men take when preparing for a fight. Here are some common approaches White Men have used to improve the odds for victory.
Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris (school)
The perpetrators of the Columbine High School shooting in 1999 deployed a variety of firearms and explosives during their attack. According to official reports and evidence gathered during the investigation, they carried the following weapons:





- Intratec TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun
- Stevens 311D double-barrel sawed-off shotgun
- Savage 67H pump-action shotgun
- Hi-Point 995 Carbine rifle
- 9mm carbine rifle (manufactured by Harrington & Richardson

In addition to these firearms, Klebold and Harris also constructed numerous improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using propane tanks, gasoline, and other materials.

Stephen Paddock (outdoor concert)
Stephen Paddock, the perpetrator of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, used several firearms during his attack. According to reports and evidence from the investigation, Paddock carried and fired the following weapons:
- Multiple AR-15 style rifles, including some that had been modified with bump stocks to simulate automatic fire

Devin Kelley (church)

Devin Kelley, the perpetrator of the Sutherland Springs church shooting in 2017, used a Ruger AR-556 semi-automatic rifle during his attack. According to reports and evidence from the investigation, Kelley purchased the rifle in April 2016 from an Academy Sports + Outdoors store in San Antonio, Texas. He had modified the rifle by removing its original stock and replacing it with a “skull” or “spade” style stock.

The WASR-10 is a variant of the AK-47 rifle, and it fires 7.62x39mm cartridges from a detachable magazine.

Robert Aaron Long (spa)
BTW, Robert said this here:
“Pizza, guns, drums, music, family, and God. This pretty much sums up my life. It’s a pretty good life…”

Payton Gendron (grocery store)

Payton? “White”
I know that Tucker disapproved of the fight he saw and would love for him to have the opportunity to show the world how it should be done. In fact, although he’s got twelvish years on me, I hereby volunteer to assist in a one-on-one demonstration–as long as there are no weapons and no one to stop it if it goes too far. Who knows, maybe together we could help teach White Men to STOP fighting like White Men, make the world a safer place.
Etymology Anyone? Or in this case, why use quotation marks on White?
white (adj.)
Old English hwit “bright, radiant; clear, fair,” also as a noun (see separate entry), from Proto-Germanic *hweit- (source also of Old Saxon and Old Frisian hwit, Old Norse hvitr, Dutch wit, Old High German hwiz, German weiß, Gothic hveits), from PIE *kweid-o-, suffixed form of root *kweit- “white; to shine” (source also of Sanskrit svetah “white;” Old Church Slavonic sviteti “to shine,” svetu “light;” Lithuanian šviesti “to shine,” švaityti “to brighten”).
