Political Discussion
| The right has been warning about the dangers of a growing Federal police state run from Washington, DC for years. Trump and the GOP put it all on steroids and here we are. |
“Comrades;” that part cannot be emphasized strongly enough here. |

If the shooter wanted to terrorize and shoot ICE agents, why did he 1) fire so indiscriminately that he killed and injured detainees instead and 2) why did he shoot himself right after?
|
Sure. It’s the same way people decided they could take lessons and learn how to dance when Dancing With The Stars started. |

Joshua Jahn used this image as his profile picture.
This indicates an affinity for leftist, communist, or anti-establishment ideologies, such as those associated with Antifa or broader anti-capitalist sentiments. |
Where's the link? Or do you work for the FBI?

I don't think so at all. It feels as if he was being ironic. Do you know any young people? Their politics are not that deep, and most are simply not that well informed about quaint concepts like "communism," which has been discredited and belongs to another century. As to "anti-establishment," that's much more likely. Many young people, both here and abroad, both on the right and on the left, distrust traditional institutions such as government, media, corporations, etc. People who like cryptocurrency are anti-establishment. So are people into alternative health, such as MAHA. Bernie's hardcore followers who like his type of populism are anti-establishment, but so are those who were drawn to Trump's "drain the swamp" rhetoric. This young man has a lot in common with all the school and recent political shooters we've seen--socially isolated, spend too much time on line, a desire for notoriety or to be "seen." |

The absolute refusal of people on the left (and I say this as a moderate Democrat) to accept that they have a political violence problem like the right has a political violence problem is upsetting.
This guy was a leftist shooter. You look idiotic claiming anything else. Face reality, please. |
The kid was an edge lord Libertarian. He loved Ron Paul. |
Lmao. Ok. |
He's probably just joking, like how Trump does all the time. |
The guy has something in common with all the shooters--troubled, disaffected, socially alienated, too much time on line, etc. They can dress it up as anything they like--anti-big insurance (Luigi), extremist anti-semitic/neo-Nazi (16 y.o. HS shooter in CO who shot up his school the same day as Charlie Kirk shooting), or even the current guy (anti-ICE or whatever)--but at the end of the day, they are mentally ill young men who want to go out in a big way. |
| A lot of white boys like guns more than people, nothing new. |
