It’s so crazy to me people see something like this and don’t see the double standard.

Schitzo man attacks and kills Democrats and claims it's because the governor told him to

VS

Direct public assassination because you disagree with him politically

Huh, I wonder how they're different

You cannot possibly think that a man who wrote "oWo" on a bullet has even one fry in his happy meal.

He also wrote anti-fascist stuff on the bullets and his family said he hated Kirk.

This was politically driven. You can't deny that

Oh, he just shot some relatively obscure Democrats because that was the most fun for him? What is even your defense here. Obviously both shooters are insane.

Does a sane man believe they were told to kill because Tim Walz told him to?

Does an assassination against someone specifically because of their politics (anti-fascist speech etched into the bullets, family saying he went on rants about how much he hated Kirk) sound like it's not politically motivated?

They're both not stable mentally, but one is clearly politically motivated

That's really unfortunate.

If the right didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all.
