    You know how they like to milk things for years? Benghazi, Hunter’s laptop, etc? To them this killing provides another justification along those lines.

    It’s incredibly short sighted, and again while I really hope I’m wrong, actual good people may suffer and die for ‘mah revenge’. Trump may even direct all media to ignore, or worse, celebrate if that happens.

    We all know they just want some reason to pull a trigger, and I think it’s poor strategy to give one to them.

      We don’t even know what the motive is. They went to blaming the left without evidence and continuing to do so. Even if this turns out it was a crazy right winger, they will pin it on the left. So again, they don’t need an actual reason when they can just make one up. This is why you NEVER placate to Fascists.

        They refuse to admit having a pedophile as the president is a line too far for even their own constituents. They’ve lied all the way to the top, and now that the bills come due they are grasping at straws trying to distract from the obvious.

        Placate ≠ not killing anyone.

        True or not, the story is out that one of the casings had "“Hey fascists! Catch.” etched.

        It doesn’t even matter if that’s true. The shooting is done, and the crazier ones will think of it as a favor.

          Placating as in not appeasing to them. When the fuck did I ever mention killing people?

          And there you go accepting the propaganda without evidence. Good job.

            You mentioned placate after I said a shooting is bad strategy, so it was implied.

            Anyway I’m done with this. I don’t think you discuss in good faith.

              And how the fuck was I arguing in bad faith?
