I don’t care what a mass shooter believes, releasing their manifesto is always the wrong thing to do. It encourages other insane people killing people to get their manifestos published.
I think the push by conservatives to make people aware of it is a response to perceptions that there seems to be a concerted effort to cover up the motives of the shooter. And the implication being that his motives are influenced by leftwing identity politics rhetoric such as CRT and general anti-white and anti-Christian attitudes in leftist spaces. And that platforms and such sympathize with these so they want to cover it up. And this all being a response to a broad narrative that right wing rhetoric is causing terrorism.
I don’t care what a mass shooter believes. Mass shooters are, by definition, insane. Their specific type of insanity is not important, and sharing their ramblings encourages other insane people.
Then why keep stats on the politics of the shooter?
I don’t. If you’re asking why law enforcement keeps those stats, I would imagine that information is pretty important to their jobs. If you’re asking why the news publishes that information, I’d argue that it really isn’t news unless there’s a sudden and inexplicable trend. Like if every mass shooter mentioned the same radio personality or political leader as a contributing factor in their insanity, then it’s probably in the public interest to mention that part.
Pretty much. Hell its gotten so bad leftists think conservatives are worse than Hamas.
I know which one directly threatens the safety of my children and tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator.
Anyone who thinks Hamas is a bigger threat to the US than Christian Nationalism is delusional.
Didn’t a whole lot of people from Palestine just attack the white house… Funny. I haven’t seen any arrests plastered all over the news.
Lmao!
I sure feel targeted by Hamas because a few people (who were not affiliated with Hamas) tried to climb a fence and got immediately shut down.
Holy shit, at least try to make a relevant comment.
Look behind you, it’s Hamas!
Goddamn that’s funny.
This you? https://lemmy.world/comment/5137078
Can you not read? Of course it’s me.
He acted because he believed the dehumanizing rhetoric of CRT. Letting people see CRT for the hate it really is needs to happen.
Oh no, bad thing happened, so clearly [latest right wing boogeyman] is responsible! Let’s not even offer supporting evidence.
Which has yet to be independently verified.
C’mon. The right wing media ecosystem is renowned for the proliferation of misinformation.
Be better consumers of media.
On a roll with violent leftists today
Just gonna ignore all the right wing violence that blows left wing violence out of the water?

Hey. You can’t be behaving like that. This should be reported to your instance administration.
You’re free to do so? I’m not sure what the issue is.
Aren’t you that lemmy.world admin who randomly removed a comment on this sub?
Edit: yeah, I couldve asked for feedback, but the shitshow would have been the same. Plus there was only one real option.
