Shooter blamed jews for migrant caravan

[scheming daemons]

His since-scrubbed social media shows that he thought Soros and globalist jews were funding the caravan and his last tweet, an hour before shooting, said "enough with the optics. I'm going in."


Trump's incendiary language about the caravan is pushing the crazies over the edge.

The guy hated Trump because Trump is not far enough right for him. Think about that.

I have so many friends that go to Tree of Life and I still don't know if any of them are among the victim. My daughter goes to college ONE BLOCK from Tree of Life. I am sickened and heartbroken and red with fury.

White nationalists are ascendant...and we must eradicate them. And Trump enables them.

2. Bowers lacks confidence in Trump

But he clearly believes in the same things Trump validates daily.

5. Of course. Cause they blame Soros. It is making sense.

I had not heard anyone blame Soros for anything, unless internet garbage. I heard an actual real person state caravan with Soros name. I had read enough on the net about tying Soros to caravan, to know where this young white man was coming from. So ya. These Supremacists. These KKK. These Nazis. Have created their way to murdering Jews.

We have already lived this history. But, it is making better sense for my brain because I simply do not think this way so I have to catch up to these Supremacists, KKK, Nazis. And white power in general.

7. Lots of people on the edge/wacky and Trump basically incites them and really

tells them it's OK to be hostile and over the edge. Trump, is a disgrace to humanity.

8. Trump causes this

Guy might not be a fan of Trump, but Trump has given validity to this Jewish funded Caravan of criminals and terrorists conspiracy, the same theory that caused this guy to murder.

9. The Honduran refugees in that caravan couldn't care less about the American midterms. They may not

have even know they are coming up. Honduras has a fascistic, corrupt(I know, I'm repeating myself) government that allows all sorts of incredibly violent criminal gangs to run wild and free.

I saw one mother in the caravan--may have been on ABC--who was pregnant and carrying her toddler. She said her husband had been murdered by a gang because he couldn't pay them protection money. The gangs impress sons of parents who can't pay them off into their ranks, and rape the daughters. It's a really, really bad situation there.

NPR had an interview with the Honduran man, I think he's in exile now, who helped organize the caravan. He said he had no outside funding, and thought that maybe a few hundred people would join it. He was amazed at how quickly it swelled into the thousands after a local Honduran TV station did a story on it.

There is absolutely no evidence pointing to George Soros, the CIA, or anyone else funding the caravan. I've seen baseless conspiracy theories on both the left and the right, mostly the right, about that. But the shooter heard something somewhere, and believed.

I live in the Cleveland area, so this is fairly close to home, and Pittsburgh's a beautiful city. I am sorry this happened in a place so close to you. I'd be furious as well.
