What I said is that I think it's childish to immediately start hunting for a political angle to use as a bashing weapon. And it is.
And yes it would also be silly to pretend this isn't happening in our country right now, a silly thing I didn't' say at all, or even hint at.
We've even had a fair share of nutjobs that claimed to be on the left, but only they claim that, not us. These people are sick, no one on either side supports this evil shit unless they are messed up in the head just as much. And this game of "who did he vote for" only fuels more hate. It's ridiculous and it needs to stop. That's the sort of crap that Tucker Carlson does, and I'm not going to be like that. No one wants these people running loose in our society. I'm just really getting tired of the hate and looking for reasons to do it. The bombastic language and verbal stabs being thrown around these days are completely unacceptable.
And some people think everyone is a white supremacist. This guy? I have no idea yet. But it would be but one "reason" from an entire list for a mass shooting out of all the ones we have witnessed over the past 20 years.
The reason these weirdos keep doing this shit is that we keep talking about them when they do it. We make them famous.
And yes, it is quite evenly spread across all... white, black, republican, democrat, there is no real pattern other than this shit is committed by crazy people who do not value human life and have often times been motivated by hatred towards or from others.
