Have politicians sent their thoughts and prayers yet? Not that it has worked so far, but that seems to be all that they are willing to do lately.

Unsurprisingly, there is currently a widespread push across fascist and fascist-friendly media attempting to tie this to the left.

Please don’t be a minority. Please don’t be associated with the left. Please.

Well, it’s a white guy, so clearly he’s a “lone wolf” with “mental problems” rather than a guy who wanted to murder people and terrorize a community with the power a gun gave him.

Dishonorably discharged and court-martialed in 2014, so he could not legally possess a gun.

White male, sense of failure, ex-military. It’s the standard mass-shooter profile, as described by George Ciccariello-Maher.

“…false claims were made that [Ciccariello-Maher] was celebrating the shootings, or believed that those who were slaughtered somehow “deserved it.” In the aftermath of these smears, Maher was placed on leave from teaching…however due to an outpouring of support, he has since been allowed to teach online classes but remains barred from physically entering campus.”

Wow. Freeze speech. Way to go, Drexel.
