MODERATORS
Don't really know why you're being downvoted. This very well could be the case. I'm a Democrat but some of the stuff I see on here is a bit disturbing with how assumptions immediately come into play with 0 evidence.
People on here that are Democrats scream the right is the reason for all the disinformation and everything they read and do is a lie and yet this entire thread is full of no proof and may be proven to be disinformation. It's gross. Currently there is absolutely no evidence there is a link to the trump situation and yet assertions are being thrown around. Be better people. I fully expect to be downvoted into oblivion for speaking the truth because everyone wants to point at the opposite political party in every damn instance instead of it possibly being some geeked the fuck out person not having a damn clue what's happening
"WeRe ThE pArTy Of EvIdEnCe" obviously not because there's none to back up these claims. If it comes out this is due to the trump ruling then shit on them I don't care but stop doing this shit it's disgusting. You're not being any better than the right
Can you really blame people for assuming the usual terrorists are responsible when an act of terrorism occurs?
Terrorism is political or ideological. Is there any proof that this is actually terrorism, and not just someone having a mental health or substance crisis, or someone that was just a total piece of shit that was trying to flee an accident / assault with a deadly weapon incident?
The authorities didn’t think it was connected to the threats directed to the court.
The police said they don't think it was connected, but that doesn't mean it wasn't politically motivated, it could be a separate person from other threats. Though after seeing the picture of him and reading about it you're probably right. This article does have more info about the situation, apparently he drove to Colorado to see his kids, and he has drug problems.
everything is political.
terrorism is loaded language.
Right. Cause someone stealing a bag of chips from a gas station is political right?
yes. the fact that access to food is predicated on access to capital is an obvious effect of the privatization of food resources.
who is making this political, now?
Everything is political.
It’s been political from the start
I know what has been said. I just wonder if you've learned anything.
how does a maga person act?
what if I'm not a Democrat, either?
you should take a break.
Whatever helps ya sleep at night bud
Yes. It does absolutely no good jumping to immediate conclusions like that. Wait for the facts. It's incredibly hypocritical to do that
Yeah, this thread feels like a textbook example of internet-age confirmation bias.
Dude totally might be a MAGA nut job who wanted to break into that building that night, but this is a thing that started with a car crash and an argument where one of the parties pulled out a gun, and then fled. That seems like a really weird way to start an act of terrorism. And, the authorities are publicly saying there is no connection to the threats that that the court has received from MAGA nutters.
If I was a betting man, my money would be on someone doing nonsensical shit while being fueled by drugs or alcohol. But I’m someone who lives in a big metro area where tweakers and crackheads do shit like this on the reg. So maybe I have a bias to associate this with crime patterns that I often see around me.
Yup. It's an incredibly bad look for everyone doing it
