Mayor Rawlings tells MSNBC hes more afraid of white men shooting people than Syrian refugees
In case you slept in Saturday morning and missed Mayor Mike Rawlings discussing Syrian refugees live on MSNBC, here you go.
Rawlings previously told The Dallas Morning News that he would welcome Syrian refugees to the city. He said becoming xenophobic about refugees would fall into the trap of what ISIS is seeking.
The mayor reiterated that point to MSNBC and said ISIS is no more Islamic than Nazi senior staff was Christian. He added that hes more concerned about mass shootings than risk of violence from refugees.
I am more fearful of large gatherings of white men that come into schools, theaters and shoot people up, but we dont isolate young white men on this issue, Rawlings said. . . . .
