White supremacist "gang member." FBI and Homeland Security are correct: the number one threat of domestic terrorism is from right wing extremists. I know the article doesn't say the neo-Nazi shooter was a Trump supporter. I get tired of Trump supporters calling unrest in the cities "Democrat riots," so I'm throwing it right back at you.

This isn't the first time Trump supporters ambushed the cops. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_b...ifornia_attack

Our only hope to restore calm and law and order in the nation is to elect Joe Biden.
BLM is a left wing terrorist group and has caused over 1 billion dollars of damage. Your OP is dishonest.

The riots are democrat rights. Overwhelmingly the supporters of Burn, Loot, and Murder are democrats.

The news media lies like crazy these days, all because they so desperately want to do what you said right there: They want to throw it back in Trump supporters faces and say, "See!!! It's your people that are the problem!! The people on my side are all innocent little angels!!"

You will notice that the absolutely no effort whatsoever is made in the article to establish that the shooter was actually a white supremacist. They just stuck it in the title and called it a day. Has it even been proven that the shooter was white? Can somebody describe why this man (or woman?) is being labeled a white supremacist? When a news media company makes no effort to support one of their claims, I call BS.

BLM has not been classified by the US government as a terrorist organization. BLM itself has not looted or destroyed property.

Damn!! That right there is a special level of delusional! So the people I see screaming "Black Lives Matter!!" right in the middle of looting on camera -- those people are just excommunicated members of the cult apparently?

Meanwhile, when they are asked if they're okay with looting, BLM leaders say looting is reparations.

Seeing the downplaying of white supremacy is interesting.
Anyone remember the movie “American History X?”. The nazi leader basically said the internet is the beat thing to happen to them. And acknowledged the main character grew his hair. So he looks less like the typical skinhead.
Seems like a foreshadowing of what’s going on now with the alt right. White supremacy rebranded, and more professional looking. The reason why it seems like it’s dead is because the old school look is dead. It adapted to modern society and mostly lives online in the most vile of sites. That’s where people like Richard Spencer come in.

That's what he does. Find one obscure thing and imply that every conservative is a white supremacist militia member sitting on their porch with an AK-47.

All this while condoning the riots, arson, and killings done in his democratic-run cities that are now worse than 3rd world countries.

Downplaying? Not at all. I have yet to see anyone actually produce any evidence that the shooter was a white supremacist. For all I know he was a black guy wearing a BLM shirt and hat at the time. Nobody even offered up a name. The article just stuck "white supremacist" into the title and called it a day.

We live in a day and age where Barack Obama is frequently called a fascist and a Nazi. If you're a proud black person who intends to vote for Trump, then your called a self-hating white supremacist. We've seen a lot of name calling where pejoratives were simply tossed out there with zero evidence. A white supremacist is a pretty specific thing. How the hell do any of us know that this particular guy (or gal) fits the definition when we literally aren't being told a damn thing about them? We don't even have a name. What if the guy's name is Julio Ramirez? Did the San Luis Obispo Tribune fail to include the guy's name because it would have made their lie blatantly obvious?

Many questions, very few answers. Proving the "white supremacist" accusation is a good starting point. What have you got to establish that as verifiable fact? Happy to discuss further once we get to that point.

How Kamala Harris promised more "mayhem?"

Away with this DNC-Media gaslighting!

From the article:

"The man had an outstanding felony warrant and a history of multiple weapons charges, Parkinson said. The Sheriff’s Office gang task force had been investigating the man as he was a known member of a white supremacist gang, Parkinson said.

'He is known by us, he is wanted by us and he was considered armed and dangerous,' Parkinson said."

"Parkinson said his office would release more information about the suspect by Friday morning."

Name withheld pending notification of kin. That is standard operating procedure.
