    third level down sub-pages tend to get archived less than the main domain start page (frenlyfrens)

    why were they even taken down at all, and who did it?

    why can we not judge for ourselves?

    there isn't a single "maga" statement by the guy online (anymore?)

    but his longtime partner says he was left, and paranoid and mentally ill (but left)

    he was a longtime activist within a leftist community (indybay), and an anti-war protester

    he worked for that community

    that community hates the pelosis, staged many protests at their house and publicly and consistently over 15+ years used the same rhetoric about them he used during the attack

    of course, there is overlap - both the far right and the far left believe in conspiracy theories - sometimes even in the same ones

    but the guy's whole life history shows he was leftist (and mentally ill)

    literally the only basis for claims he was "right": "trust me bro" - hearsay by leftist journalists who claim to have seen the blog, claim to have attributed 4chan posts and facebook posts to him, all within a few hours, none of that is accessible now

    Regardless of whether this attack was related to the rhetoric of one party or the other, do you agree that political rhetoric can spur some people to violence?

    Depape told police “‘leader of the pack’ of lies told by the Democratic Party."

    He was motivated by Right Wing rhetoric.

    Evidence of what was on his websites including the right-wing MAGA and QANON crap had been shown, even though the sites have been taking down.

    You have a very high opinion of your flawed findings. And you have no regard for the blatant statements made by him to the police.

    It's already cut and dry. There isn't really more to discuss.

    Where have you shown he worked for indybay.org for 15 years? I must have missed it.

    But only one's party's leaders have advocated the violence and his actions are backed by his proven internet blogging and posting.

    There is also eyewitness testimony of him spouting Replacement theory racist rhetoric.

    Not proven. Which party leader advocated violence against Mr. Pelosi? Where is this testimony? Mr. Pelosi is a different race?

    Oh I have already explained this to him before. He seemed to understand. Then he doubled down on his idiocy. At this point he has more than doubled down though.

    Regardless of anything else, hitting an 82-year old man is awful.

    It isn't about against Paul Pelosi, it's the right wing advocating violence to back their conspiracy theories and themselves. The motivation has already been concluded. It's done. It's plain, cut and dry.

    On another note, he was from Canada. That doesn't change that he claimed it was like the founding fathers of the United States. It isn't odd that would inspire people. It inspired the French too, and obviously they weren't American citizens either.

    You wish so much it were done. But you cannot wish it into existence. The police disagrees with you.

    So being inspired by the Founding Fathers is "right wing"?

    Using it to incite violence in this day and age is right wing.

    Do you hate the Founding Fathers? Do you hate America? Like indybay.org?

    When was the last time you were at a demonstration?
