    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.

          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.

        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 the GOP’s goal of 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.
