The rhetoric on those websites might prime the pump, but the actual trigger may well come from a simple statement by a person of other convictions. Hundreds, maybe thousands post on those websites. If one goes wacko now and then, it fits the definition of lone gunman. Were there support troops in El Paso? Was there a small army doing the shooting? How many cars did they travel to EP in? It's not a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

Same could be said of the Dayton guy. Lots of hate on left wing sites. Hate towards conservatives, Republicans, and Trump. Maybe a right-winger said something to set him off, after the leftist sites set him up. Doesn't mean it was a vast left-wing conspiracy.

Damn, now the left is debating the definition of "one". Is that what they call fuzzy math?

You’re right that it could have been thousands of posts that helped twist this man’s mind.

Or maybe it was the constant fking love for 'open borders' by a whole swath of people?

You are honestly suggesting that your personal interpretation of one party’s policy position (the Dem Party is not actually advocating for open, unchecked, immigration no matter how frequently you say they are) influenced someone to commit mass murder, as opposed to a highly visible public figure talking about a “invasion” from the southern border, which the murderer echoed in his manifesto?

Really?

I guess by that logic Bernie is the cause of Hodgkinson. Glad you cleared that one up for us son.
