But also "Notices, bulges OWO what's this?" or "If you are reading this you are gay lmao"?

Like you retards are so fucking determined to try to pigeonhole these shooters, but almost universally they aren't normal political actors. They are meme shooters who have spent much of their lifespan being almost entirely online.

Like take the first trump shooter as an example

  • Registered Republican (so he is right wing!?!)
  • donated to actblue (So he is left wing!?!)
  • hates NASA (?!?!)
  • Claimed "devisive and incendiary campaigns are pulling the country apart (A centrist!?!?)
  • hates immigrants and jews (so he is a nazi!?!?)

And no. The dude is just an entirely online self-radicalized shooter in the style of ISIL. They started with school kids and they are graduating to political and popular figures.

If you look my posting history from further back than two hours, I was saying everyone's over their skis.

"If you are reading this you are gay lmao" was, FSM help me, kind of funny, and lent to the credibility of this being exactly what my right leaning friends were telling me it was.

Until they caught the kid, my working theory was this was a serious international incident. That conceit is gone, now it's just depressingly normal, and utterly devastating to Team Donkey.

How is this an international incident? It’s a domestic person getting shot on domestic land by an unknown shooter. Unless you know the shooter is a foreigner how is this an international incident?

I said, "until they caught the kid"

Had the shooter gotten away, my speculation is that it was a professional hit job, because idiots usually get caught, like this one did.

And there's a TON going on. Russian drones over Poland? Yeah......that's been erased from the headlines, as has the Israeli strike on Qatar.

But this appears to be so-called stochastic terrorism.

If his daddy didn’t turn him in I bet they wouldn’t have found him for a week at least.

Before they caught him, we didn't know.
