    No, because really stupid Republicans have screamed "conspiracy" on almost every attack that has happened (remember Sandy Hook?) and have been wrong and wrong and wrong. They are always wrong. I called them stupid then and I'm calling you stupid now.

    - Still could be a hoax
    - Leftist media trying to stop the right
    - Whataboutisms (bring up antifa or something)
    - Buttery mails
    - George Soros
    - Guy was just mentally ill

    Did I hit all the counterpoints @MojoMan?

    You claim the left is jumping to conclusions based on what is presented on the news(suspect's name, van with right wing stickers, right wing posts on Social media) but what has been presented for those to claim this 'false flag' narrative before today's findings? I'd say that's based on jack squat.

    I would have guessed Dei if he was still around. He seems like the only one crazy enough to do it.

    Beats me. Fact is stranger than fiction, so anyone who would 100% rule that out as an impossibility, should be marked down in the fool column.

    I do not know what happened here with any accuracy, but what is being presented to us by people like you and the Democrat left media absolutely does not pass the smell test.

    Sorry, Charlie. Not buying it.

    Anyone who jumps on this very small possibility as their first assumption because it is politically expedient from their perspective is more of a fool.

    It was a very stupid hunch when applying Occam's Razor and factoring in opportunity cost.

    I have a four-door sedan and I have no bumper stickers. They are not popular in my area of town, or with the crowd that I circulate with.

    Because, prior to that it was mostly people trying to tell the posters with crazy conspiracy theories that they might not have all the facts. Those posters then started ramping up their claims to prove they are right while the rest watch. Now we actually have some information and the same posters are trying to find a way to spin it, but are really, really stuck. Some posters were smart and just disappeared from the conversation.

    I am just glad they caught the guy and hope that we can learn something from this. This thread dampens my faith in that happening though. Its playing out the same on other message board and comment section areas as well.

    You may still have cause to regurgitate it yet.

    Oh, because for a minute there, your idea that the MSM orchestrating a conspiracy over this lone individual seemed nutcase worthy,

    Well, I am reluctant to dispute any charges of nutcase-ism with such an established expert on that topic as yourself.
