Where's the link?

Or do you work for the FBI?

This administration has lied to us nonstop. That's why I'm immediately skeptical the second I see something from Kash Patel purporting to be a "leftist message" on a bullet or a supposed profile picture. With the innumerable constant flow of lies they've already told they don't deserve my trust or belief in them. And what they do show us is 100% like a right winger's dumb comic-book fantasy of what they think a "leftist" says or does. It's just not believable.

This guy was a leftist shooter. You look idiotic claiming anything else. Face reality, please.

His family said he's not. You look like the idiot.

You believe that? Come on. Use your head.

He shot indiscriminately. He was just trying to kill people. There was no cogent ideology. These people are just nuts. Does the US have a violence problem? Yes. Do we have an angry you men problem? Yes. It is unique to the left side of the political spectrum? No it is not.

Of course it isn’t unique to the left side of the spectrum. The right has a political violence issue too, with the same demographic. But the flat-out denialism from people on the left as to the existence of political violence on the left is aggravating. At a minimum it is extremely alienating to large swaths of the population. No one except cultists will believe that this shooter wasn’t politically aligned with the left.

There is no evidence of his political alignment with the left. Do you care about gun violence or do you care about winning points against the left? Because people like you seem way more worried about the political ideology of a murderer than you do about doing something to prevent murders like this from happening. Stop being disingenuous.

I don't see republicans protesting against ICE. It's an houly event with democrats, however. So we know who aligns with who.

He was politically aligned with democrats. Wanted to harm ICE personnel. Period.

Yeah, that. And being surrounded by deep red MAGA gun culture.

I also noticed the thousands of hours spent playing violent video games. I’m not generally a pearl-clutcher when it comes to video games, but still the desensitization to shooting violence onscreen seems like a significant part of his path toward feeling psychologically able to spray bullets at real people in real life.

And yet tens of millions of other young men in other countries around the world play games like these and manage to not go out and shoot people.

How many other countries have as many guns per capita as the US? Here it’s easier to access guns than mental healthcare.

There is no period here, deep thinker

You have a lot of different types of clowns under that big tent Trump is holding together. Don't presume that your flavor of crazy is going to be the same as someone else who identifies as "Republican."

We were told that ICE would round up violent MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members, But that hasn't happened. We haven't seen any such mass roundups of gangs announced in the news. We were told that the border would be sealed and that violent murderers and rapists would be rounded up and eliminated. Yet the number of stories about illegals raping and murdering has not decreased, but increased, and they are clearly still coming in, and instead of rounding up those violent criminals, ICE is rounding up hard-working people who lay tile and drywall, moms, short order cooks who have nary a parking ticket to their name. And worse yet, ICE has been unaccountable, rounding up people who are here legally, even citizens, concealing their identity, refusing to identify themselves, refusing to produce warrants, while there's a rise in criminals disguised as ICE who are kidnapping, assaulting and robbing people with virtually no response from this government even after they created the environment for this. It's a trainwreck full of failures and broken promises. And for some reason Republicans remain aligned to that trainwreck.

And the refusal of people on the right to acknowledge the existence of right wing political violence is aggravating and alienating. So we are at a stalemate. We’ve got to get beyond this point.

DP. I am liberal and willing to admit we have a political violence problem across the spectrum including people who may hold far left views. But I think politics is a red herring.

The issue is angry men who have easy access to guns and likely spend too much time in dark obscure online communities. Almost anyone can find some reason to be angry (politics, peer rejection, red pill ideology). So this isn’t a left vs right problem.

But I absolutely take issue with idiot MAGA trying to push the narrative that political violence is a liberal issue when they are the party of J6, the boogaloo boys, the Charlottesville tiki torch rally, etc. who deleted online studies about right wing violence. They don’t care about ending political violence, they just want to own the libs. Same way they don’t care about gun violence, they are just mourning Charlie Kirk and are pissed their racist views (which he normalized) are being called out.

The reason non-MAGA (I won't say "the left" because non-MAGA include centrists) are pushing back is because the MAGA president and VP and MAGA administration are painting it as an exclusively leftist problem and it very much is not. Here's just a sampling of their rhetoric.

Donald Trump"[/b

"The radicals on the left are the problem, and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy."

"The 'radical left' was responsible for much of the political violence in the country."

[b]JD Vance

"Our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies... [but] proud members of the far left [are to blame for most political violence]."

"The idea that left-wing violence and right-wing violence in 2025 in America are equal, it’s preposterous."

Listening to them, you wouldn't know that on the same day that Charlie Kirk was shot, a 16 y.o. boy who was radicalized online and leaned extreme right (Neo-Nazi, white supremacist), shot up his high school in Evergreen, CO near Columbine and then killed himself. Where's all the press about that? His online posts were full of white supremacist symbolism and rhetoric.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-aware-colorado-high-school-shooters-troubling-online-posts-before-attack

So until the MAGA president and his administration admit that we don't have an exclusive "radical left wing lunatic" violence problem, you and everyone who buys into that notion can f*** right off.

Of course there is right wing political violence. For instance the tree of life shooter in Pittsburgh. And this ICE shooter is left wing.

I do not know why it is so hard for extremists on both ends to admit that they have problems with political violence.

You can throw a rock in the air randomly in Texas, and chances are it'll hit an illegal when it lands. Why target a secure facility if your goal is to shoot illegals? It makes zero sense. It was very obviously done to kill ICE agents, and the shooter screwed everything up.

Why are we expending so much energy to understand the motives of a crazy person? It never makes sense to shoot up a bunch of people. The decision is always going to have some kind of logical hole in it, whether you look at it from the left or the right, because IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

- except all the recent violence has come from people who identify with just one side of the isle: the Democrats.

The Utah shooter was NOT a Democrat.

But he WAS leftist

No it doesn't. It's a fricking meme. You all fundamentally do not understand the language of the internet these kids live in. Memes have layers and layers of meaning, and can mean different things to different online communities. They are never as straightforward as you boomers try to make them.

+1
Saying this means he’s communist or leftist just shows that pp is completely internet illiterate and the world has moved past her while she stood in place. Either spend some time catching up or stop commenting.

So much wrong information.
First, it sounds as if you are justifying the targeting of ICE agents. That is disgusting.

Secondly, this administration never said they would limit their arrests to criminals and gang members. But, if you think that it is NOT happening, you havene't been paying attention. Each day, I see at least 5 posts of criminal aliens who have been arrested for murder, rape, rape of a child, assault, gang membership, or a variety of other crimes. These are just the posts I see. I am sure there are many more.
And, the border has been sealed. You're welcome. There have been zero releases into the US the past 4 months.

ICE is NOT rounding up citizens. If citizens are arrested it is because they are impeding arrest of others - a crime.

YOU, my dear, have to understand that Biden was derelict in his duty of protecting our border. He allowed in MILLIONS - let's say 10 million - a pretty conservative number because it is likely much much larger. We know many of them are criminals. Let's just say that 5% of those entering were criminals. that is 500,000 people that have to be found. That takes time. Add to that the 300,000 children the Biden administration lost which our law enforcement is searching for..... they have a lot to do. They have found about 25,000 of those kids.

So, quit justifying the targeting of ICE and CBP who are just doing their jobs. There is NO justification or excuse.

“Protesting” is putting it mildly. Violent rioting is a more fitting description. SEE: Los Angeles, before the adults intervened.

I would expect nothing less from him. I don’t read his blogs. I prefer nonfiction.
