And they will be relentless about it.
Damn it. There will be blowback.
Just be glad that idiot in Butler missed, because that would have been 100 times worse.

I very much doubt it was something like that. It more likely was just an extreme individual acting alone. That's a simple explanation which is more likely than any elaborate conspiracy.

(12,186 posts)Even though the Butler shooter was (supposedly) a Trump supporter, they blamed it on "the radical left." The most recent school shooter was also into RW ideology, yet they blamed it on her being transgender. So, it doesn't matter what the actual shooter's motive was. We're going to get blamed for it.
