    Well I would say it stemmed from that, parents, or friends who push that type of hate, and laid the seed in his brain to act on his hate. Kids are influenced by all of that, and often starting from a very young age. There's a few on here who push that type hate. Hopefully they don't talk like that in front of their kids.

    they didn’t find any explosives. The DA of El Paso County Michael Allen is a REPUBLICAN, the shooter was actually charged with felony menacing and first-degree kidnapping according to the 20th story down on the fox news.com homepage if you looked right now. But no, they didn’t find any explosives according to the hard hitting Fox News Digital

    Leftist eh? Are you sure it wasn't antifa Karen?

    Dang ..you are not good at this. Since you are never wrong let's blame it on the rando you quote while you predictably double down.

    Homegrown (and foreign infiltrator) christian terrorists! Religious and political indoctrination! Woo!

    "confirmed that Aldrich is the grandson of outgoing Republican State Assemblymember Randy Voepel, the former mayor of Santee, California. Voepel represents the 71st district in the San Diego area. There were calls to expel Voepel from the state Assembly after he made comments comparing the January 6 attacks to the Revolutionary War.”

    Speaking of the Fox News website, have you seen the vile comments about the shooting?

    no, but besides the Idaho murders and almost like a cue for D&D content, here are some of the stories that Fox News Digital is prioritizing before any mention whatsoever of the latest mass shooting which happened at a gay nightclub:

    -KINGDOM SHAKEUP: Disney announces shocking change in leadership

    -FLOUR POWER: Climate activists throw flour onto Warhol-painted BMW

    -HA HA BIRDIE: Elon Musk pokes fun at CBS' short-lived Twitter hiatus after network resumes tweeting less than 48 hours later

    (the admission is that ‘Trump was Right’)

    -China improves ability to strike US with sub-carried missiles

    -Court docs reveal how much FTX owes creditors

    (that’s two articles on FTX if you’re counting, and earlier today there were actually THREE different Elon articles)

    and finally…

    (In other words, it’s the left’s fault)

    Hmm, seems like we gave up the hard real world for the manicured walled gardens of social media only to realize that our subconscious transfer of text is more divisive, more uninclusive or less social than previously sold.

    All of this garbage is designed for attention and dopamine hits. None of which improves humanity one iota.

    Info and news sharing seems more a side gig than core offereing.

    Yep. This is what they always do. Had it been a black, trans person who did the shooting, it would have been at the top.

    On Sunday morning there seemed very little coverage of this shooting. I don't recall seeing it mentioned on Meet The Press. It seems like last night and this morning there is more.

    Truly terrible situation for the LGBTQ community of CO springs. Don't know for sure yet if it's bias motivated as it information about motives aren't out yet but given the nature of the target it does seem very likely so. CO Springs also dealt with something like this when a man against abortion killed three at a Planned Parenthood there.

    5 random dead from guns/shootings in a public place isn’t enough in the US anymore. The quota is probably 7-8 these days to get any traction.

    It’s definitely true. It’s like why you won’t see a fender bender on the local news but a 5 car pile up resulting in a loss of life sure.

    These shooting events that kill less than 5 probably won’t even be called mass shootings anymore. Not enough mass you know what with inflation and all.

    Maybe it’s like how are you considered a model vs a supermodel or star player versus a superstar? Like 10 or more should be a super mass shooting.

    How about a Richter scale for shooting events? “In local news a 5.0 on the AR15 scale occurred today at Shawshank Elementary. Thoughts and prayers are being collected and parents are thankful it wasn’t nearly as bad as the 7.5 event of last year.”

    Pardon my sardonicism.

    I mean, this was 5 killed and 18 injured

    we'll get some thread about a random fight in McDonald's if it involves a certain demographic

    Now at the top of foxnews.com. John Mellencamp not standing for the National Anthem. Damn that's some hard hitting journalism.

    I'll be surprised if the motive isn't what I think it is

    and imagine comparing a bunch of neckbeards with no job storming the Capitol to the Revolution...these losers wanna be war heroes so badly
