    What we know so far about the gunman:

    • A mainstream liberal social media diet, with no prior history of endorsing illegal direct action

    • He appeared to support stricter gun control and viewed widespread gun ownership negatively

    • He had taken up shooting at some point in the recent past

    • He believed the President was a pedophile who protected other pedophiles

    • He saw Ukraine’s resistance to Russia as part of a broader global struggle for democracy

    • He viewed Trump and MAGA as an existential threat to democratic governance

    • He concluded that legitimate political action could no longer save democracy>

    This doesn’t fit the profile of someone who radicalized gradually by falling down an increasingly extreme online rabbit hole until reaching a fringe community that encouraged violence – nothing like an 8chan pipeline at all.

      Guy was an idiot. Tried to do an idiot thing. He even left a manifesto because he thought he was gonna go out in a blaze of glory.

      But he didn’t get anything accomplished other than throwing his entire life away. Heck, even Lemmy doesn’t support him because they wanna think he was a false flag or a republican. lololololol

      The idiot did nothing. Absolutely nothing, but ruin the rest of his life. Once he’s in prison, he’s gonna realize just how good his life was before he did all this stupid shit. Just like Luigi. Just like the other guy who tried to shoot the pres. Just like the guy who murdered the conservative speaker dude by shooting him in the neck. They all will spend rest of their lives in prison.

      For nothing! They accomplished nothing. I can’t even remember their names, except for Luigi, and that’s because of his vid game name. Hell, even Lemmy’s will grow up and in 10 years have family and kids, and forget about these guys. LMAO

          Nothing unhinged or manic. I stand by what I said. But hey, you don’t agree so you figure you may as well try to make light of it. Cool!

              I love that you were so triggered, that you had to have AI read my comments! Fucking AI just to read a comment! OMG This is easily the most lame thing I have ever seen on Lemmy. hahahahahaha

              I stand by what I said. No matter how mad it makes you. Keep crying. I’ll keep laughing. :)

              And let me help you out, and be sure to add “This user is mocking me, and I’m really crying about it” to your prompt! hahahahahaha
