Well, the Right now has their martyr.

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.

The Butler idiot was a registered Republican, and yet that didn't stop them from blaming us for it.

The republicans will give their usual 'prayers' platitudes, sure as hell will not lift a finger to attempt to change the prevalence of gun violence through legislation, and this murder will be forgotten by everyone but Kirk's family members by Friday.

What wouldn’t they do to get their Helter Skelter on?

If it were planned as an event rhyming with those of the 1920-1940 Germany, I would suspect the one who looks like he’s Peewee German.

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.

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.

No way he can tolerate someone besides himself holding that title.
