The El Paso shooter posted his Manifesto. He comes off as a white separatist. I'd advise you to read it if there is a discussion about him.

I find it disgusting that people immediately make these events political. The vast majority of People in either Dems and Reps parties aren't mass murderers no matter much you disagree with their politics.

I lived and voted in Texas for over 20 years so stop with the BS.
You are confusing the mass murderers. It's easy to do since these are a weekly occurrence.

The Ohio murderer was registered Democrat, the Texas one only voted Democrat in the last election.

I cannot imagine going into a Walmart and being around people who think it's cool to wear guns.

Here in MA and CT, we have strict gun laws and we have two of the safest states. The main thing we'd worry about was someone from a gun addicted state coming here and shooting people. I am getting so fed up with these people that I just wish they would stay out of our states. Stay where they belong, back in the 1700s when we actually needed our own grassroots militia.
Vermont and Maine have much more liberal gun laws. Are they less safe than Mass and CT? Can't they go into a town and walk around with guns on them like the 1700's?

People and guns don't mix.

I don't understand how he got there to the bar/liquor store/whatever.

He went, with his sister and her boyfriend, in the wee hours, while he was carrying an assault rifle and wearing a bullet proof vest?

So I guess he had all that stuff in the trunk, and at some point decided to use it that night? I wonder how many other nights he thought about doing this and just didn't?

Maybe the "other guy" who was with him and his sister, who was injured but survived, can help shed was light on his mindset and what happened?

I heard a report that while in high school Betts created some sort of "hit list" of people he didn't like and had angry issues with women who rejected him, sounds like a nut case.

Also - why would an Antifa member write a xenophobic and racist manifesto? Antifa is anti-fascist, not anti-immigrant. Thanks for your answers in advance.
There are numerous videos of ANTIFA members attacking Trump supporters on YT. Go there and search and if YT hasn't fiddled with their search mode you will see for yourself. Not going to do the work for you. Antifa have been around awhile.
Latest I've heard is the shooter is a Progressive Leftist. I'll post more when I find more information. Haven't caught up in the thread so it may already be posted here.

.
Your news is censored so you wouldn't know
Plenty of videos on youtube showing Antifa attacking conservatives.
Latest attack. Victim hired a good attorney to sue the city.

Antifa have their own flag modeled after the Nazi flag.

What rhetoric is hateful exactly? You can post examples of anything you think would trigger a shooter.

The Dayton killer was a democrat Satanist.
