Well - you need to check out the shooting thread. At least 3 people have blamed Antifa with no evidence whatsoever.

His MIL has a PO box in town. With so few residents, the strongest speculation any of us have is that he was targeting his wife's family.
The shooter was Antifa. One of your peeps. How about banning them instead?
That makes five.
At least five posts blaming ANTIFA for Texas. And this deflection came from a poster that posted an alternative fact thread about Sen. Paul's attack by an ANTIFA neighbor.
A loaded question or complex question fallacy is a question that contains a controversial or unjustified assumption (e.g., a presumption of guilt).
Aside from being an informal fallacy depending on usage, such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner's agenda. The traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, he will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and in this case an entrapment, because it narrows the respondent to a single answer, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed.
I am not defending ANTIFA, merely questioning its use in any situation these days, especially when it isn't even a factor.

4 different people, one posted twice, and one of the 4 mentioned 'seeing reports' that it could have been isis or antifa but discounted those notions in that very post .... so, 3 people stated, without fact to back them up, that it was an antifa member.
You do know that number would have been massively dwarfed by those on the left who would point fingers, without facts, at supremacists if that had been a black church, don't you?
I don't believe that it was isis, antifa or supremacists, who could all disappear for all I care, it was probably just one lone nut job
