The phrase “Christ, what an asshole” doesn’t begin to cover it.

Is it wrong of me to regret that the police talked him out of killing himself? Society would, I think, be better served if he had removed himself from circulation, so we don’t have to have a trial, and the inevitable appeals, and more publicity for his toxic views. I applaud the life-saving instinct, but there are cases where it may be misplaced.

Another 18 year old WHITE man with an assault rifle and cement in his head. My deepest condolences to the fallen and their grieving families.

And conservative media will continue to tell their followers that it’s the left who are relentlessly violent, hateful, and trying to destroy our way of life.

The shooter livestreamed it and wrote a manifesto echoing the “Replacement Theory” quoted often by commentators on Fox Nation and Tucker Carlson.

Looks like 4chan and 8chan not Tucker

The long manifesto, which dives deep into the shooter’s supposed mindset and aims, cites 4chan as the source of his radicalization, noting “There I learned through infographics, shitposts, and memes that the White race is dying out, that blacks are disproportionately killing Whites, that the average black takes $700,000 from tax-payers in their lifetime, and that the Jews and the elite were behind this.”

Yes. That theory has been echoed on Fox Nation and on Tucker’s show.

And I can infuriatingly anticipate that tomorrow’s paper will give less coverage to this tragedy than they give column inches to yet another right wing opinion piece on, “what is Joe Biden doing about violent demonstrations?”

Too bad they didn’t use the ‘T’ word to describe the murderer.

Cue the inevitable copycats & crocodile tears from the FDC.
Gonna be a long hot summer…

Condolences to the families & community.
