    They were attacking Black people even after the shooter’s family turned him in.

    They don’t need an excuse.

      They love any opportunity to be vile, just so happens they figured they can just be vile all the time.

      Bomb threat got called into the Dem HQ in DC, too.

      And a bunch of HBCUs.

      Oh and there was another school shooting on the same day, I think at least 3 dead/wounded… flags went half mast in Colorado not for that, but for Kirk.

      Kids weren’t even mentioned.

        There were bomb threats to democrat lawmakers across the country, Oregon, Minnesota (or Michigan), New Mexico

      No, they only argue in bad faith. Debating them or applying any kind of logical consistency to their actions or arguments is falling right into their trap because then they suck up all your energy until you’re too tired to do anything about it anymore.

    Still seeking confirmation on the Goyper narrative.

    I hate to be that guy, but if we just accept this narrative without proof, we are only slightly better than the people who peddled the minority narrative.

    It’s still not definitively confirmed that the guy was a right winger, his family might have been MAGA but the guy himself could have very possibly been radicalized recently by the endless ragebait “anti-fascist” posts and did the deed as a result. It would explain the casings at the very least.

    From what I’ve seen, the entire assumption that the guy was a rightoid comes from the fact that his family is MAGA and that’s pretty much it.

      He was absolutely left-leaning, likely chronically online leftish and hated his family’s politics.

      I grew up in a deeply conservative environment, I was a bible-thumping conservative right up until I was around this person’s age when I started having friends coming back from Iraq in bags and pieces. I never could have remotely imagined doing something so violent and radical, but I also know that when you’re young, surrounded by people who seem disconnected from you, frustrated and you feel outnumbered, you can be influenced real easily to start feeling like you have some kind of power and “destiny” to make changes to the world.

      edit: ya’ll sheltered motherfuckers really want to write your own narrative around this, you’re doing the exact same WWE theater spectacle the right is doing, back up a step and take a breath. You’re not going to get the story you want. You have to deal with that.

      The last 2 elections he did not vote. My guess is that he did not wanted to vote democrats but Trump was too extreme for him. But that’s just my guess.
