Well, Stone Me

We know that he is white, then. If it is explicitly not a "terrorist incident", then he cannot be brown. There is no suggestion that it is "gang-related", so he cannot be black, either.

I am old enough to remember white terrorists. And I am old enough to have known white gangsters, not all of whom are dead. But hey, ho. How the word turns.

These days, the same acts are "terrorist incidents" when stoned brown men commit them, and they are "gang-related" when stoned black men commit them, but they are neither of those things when they are committed by stoned white men.

Only you must never, ever, ever mention that any of those men was stoned. Scooby Doo is a documentary. Those are the real effects of cannabis. It turns you into a happy hippy like Shaggy Rogers. You must say that. Or else.
