Here we go. Copycat attacks. The reprisals will start soon, as well. Michigan man, 22, found dead after confessing to ATV attack on elderly Trump supporter A 22-year-old Michigan man, who confessed to running over an 80-year-old man with an ATV in a politically charged attack, was found dead in his home in Quincy Township in the Upper Peninsula. The Hancock Police Department said a man called Monday and said he would like to "confess a crime involving an ATV driver within the last 24 hours." He instructed police to his residence to pick him up. By the time they arrived, he was dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound police say. A day before, on Sunday, police suspect the 22-year-old was involved in a number of politically charged crimes, targeted against houses with signs and displays supporting law enforcement and Donald Trump. In one, the suspect allegedly ran over an 80-year-old man who was putting up a Trump sign in his yard. According to a release from Hancock Police Chief Tami Sleeman, the suspect, who was caught on camera during the spree, intentionally vandalized cars displaying a right-wing political orientation. “People have the right to express their opinions,” she told the Daily Mining Gazette Tuesday. “There’s no place for this type of violence.” The investigation is ongoing, which will include the scrubbing of the suspect's electronic devices.
Media and politicians using extreme rhetoric the last couple of decades + the advent of social media + the increase of social isolation/decline of third spaces has resulted in a pretty toxic environment.
At least that scumbag saved us tax dollars by ending his own life afterwards. People who physically attack others for any reason other than self-defense need to be locked up like rabid dogs. The verbal threats spewed by sickos are bad enough. Those types get hand slaps for death threats far too often, and Aileen Cannon was one of those judges who gave a hand slap of only 18 months to a Florida guy who made several death threats, even after being warned the first time. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...ths-prison-pelosi-aoc-death-threats-rcna22631
