Hopefully, when they catch the out of state stranger that fits blue voting demographics they are able to get a conviction.
From the OP's link
Quote:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana State Police say shots were fired at a truck carrying a “Make America Great Again” flag and an American flag on eastbound I-465 Tuesday.

Officers believe the shots were fired from a newer white 4-door Chevrolet Malibu with a Louisiana plate near Emerson Avenue around 4 p.m.

The victim and a witness informed police that the Malibu pulled up next to the pickup truck, a passenger held a handgun out of the window and then a male fired several shots.

Police say no one was in injured in the incident.

The driver of the Malibu was described as a black male around the age of 23. The passenger was described as a light skinned black male with a sleeve tattoo on his right arm.
What part of the FOX media report of your link says “anything” about the driver of the Malibu disliking the flag or even Trump? Maybe the driver of the truck cut them off on the highway or something else to provoke the shooting.

Again, I ask what makes anyone think the others were “left”? How do you draw that conclusion?

Please point it out for me.

I deplore both the statist Right and statist Left. I do bash the Left more than the Right though. It's generally more fun and has been easy since the rise of Trump.

Having said that the statist Right needs to chill out over this whole violence escalation thing. Each individual is responsible for their own actions.

Until we get more details we don't know what happened with this specific incident.

I'm going to guess that you 1) believe Trump is a Russian spy or plant and 2) accept that a YouTube video caused a preplanned terrorist attack.

Am I right?

Yes, that's my point. If this happened BECAUSE of someone flying a flag, that's stupid. And that person is a disgusting person. But I don't see the evidence.

I had just put them on my car. I got them in a rest area and the guy was giving the Mc Cain /Palin bumper stickers out with stickers all over his van.

. I put two on my bumper. When I got into NJ the 6 lane highway was going 70 or better. The guy kept getting in front of me cutting me off. The first time I thought it was an old guy cutting me off and then slowing way down in 70 MPH traffic. After I got away and passed him as the traffic was heavy , he again got in front of me from another lane of traffic and slowed way down again,, he proceeded to cut me off the third time. I asked my passenger who is it?.. he told me some black guy. Then I knew.. I found an opening and got away and left him .

I know, He didn't have to tell me why. It was the two bumper stickers . Traveling home I stopped in a convenience store and a woman saw the stack of McCain stickers and I gave her some. I told her if you put it on you are taking a risk in NJ.

It's either crappy reporting withholding information indicating evidence pointing to the flag or sensationalist journalism piggybacking off yesterday's shooting.

The media in general just really sucks.
