CNN Headline: Shooter Left a Hate-Filled Trail.

Then proceeds to lovingly link him to everything progressive . . . Robert Reich's "Inequality for all", Bernie Sanders, anti-GOP Facebook Groups (some of which I belong to . . . should I be on a watch list??), Democracy Now . . . specifically USING the word "Progressive" repeatedly.

Jesus Fucking CHRIST.

It's like they're simply GIDDY that a mass shooter finally isn't one of THEM.

This was a troubled individual, not a PRODUCT. SUCH bad form. SHAME on you, CNN. COME on.

SUCH an insult to intelligence that the wingnuts list CNN as one of the biggest "liberal" outlets. Must be more rot-gut being passed around among their set than I imagine . . .

And you can only bully someone for so long before they start to fight back. We need to kick them in the balls in 2018.

Just saying. Let's be clear about this: there is not one Democratic politician or institution he was linked to.

it's like they have a mind of their own and will jump out and kill people all by themselves because all gun owners are honest, reliable, hardworkin', christian individuals that only want to protect themselves from some hippie progressive butthaids that want to stuff single payer healthcare and legalized marijuana down their throats, along with raising their taxes.

Living in Floriduh, there are all kinds of stories about guns jumping out of holsters, purses, pockets and vests to go on inflicting harm on helpless humans.

gaud damm guns, got a mind of their own.

forgot to add the thingie.

the shooters facebook page is down, but I've heard it was full of hate against trump Clinton and the DNC, so why are headlines "shooter had rage against trump", and such? Shouldn't they be "shooter had rage against trump Clinton and the DNC? See Huff Po.

I haven't gone to your link, as i am in a bad enough mood today.
