[Igel]

5. I'm not sure that the Poway twit was all that pro-Trump.

If the quotes I've seen from his "manifesto" are accurate, at least.

[BigmanPigman]

9. I read it and he said tRump wasn't evil enough.

"In his manifesto, John Earnest wrote a “lightning round” with questions and answers. The first question he answered was whether he is a Trump supporter. He wrote, “You mean that Zionist, Jew-loving, anti-White, traitorous c*cksucker? Don’t make me laugh.”

"The Pittsburgh shooting suspect had posted on Gab about why he didn’t support Trump, saying that he was not anti-Semitic enough for him."

"About his political ideology, Earnest wrote, “It’s called not wanting to go extinct.” He said, about being a conservative, “I am not a useless, spineless coward so no—I am not a conservative. Conservative is a misnomer. They conserve nothing. They’ll complain all they want but they won’t take up arms and threaten their government with death (the only thing that works). Ever heard about the Battle of Athens (1946)? Find your balls again you insufferable f*ggots. If you do not defend your rights you deserve none.”

6. Permission.

Sigh.

[Different Drummer]

15. That's it exactly.

Trump has implicitly given them permission to act on their basest instincts. Before Trump, those instincts weren't socially acceptable and they felt pressure to suppress them.

8. THey aren't terrorists tho because you have to be brown to be a terrorist.

[Rebl2]

10. You are

exactly right!

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. And he sees fine people. nt

[nini]

12. Inbred?

[trickyguy]

13. It's not so much what they see in Trump, as what they see in each other.

It's called "chain terrorism" and I just read about it at Daily Kos.
They use each shooting spree, mass murder as a stepping block to future fame - or infamy.
And they get most of their inspiration from each other thanks to the Internet.
It's hate in the fast lane.

14. Are they all acting out because they can't get laid?

Maybe instead of getting pot legalized, we should focus on prostitution.

[Wounded Bear]

17. "Chain terrorism" is just another name for mob rule...

mob psychology, whatever you want to call it.

[Wounded Bear]

16. Encouragement...

[Haggis for Breakfast]

18. What they see in trmp is

They will not be held accountable.

They will not face consequence.

They look at him and see a poster child for hate.

[MadDAsHell]

19. Everyone of these individuals will face life in prison or the death penalty.

Because they have personally killed many people. How is that not accountability or consequences?

[smirkymonkey]

20. They see him and his kind getting a pass on everything, and they think that because they

are white men they will be given the same immunity. Because they are on board with the far-right agenda, they will be protected.

They are stupid, hateful, tools of the right-wing elite.

[MadDAsHell]

21. Respectfully disagree. There is not a mass shooter in history that didn't face justice of some sort.

No mass shooter thinks they're going to get immunity.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. They think they will become martyrs to the cause.

And as long as trmp continues to defend his comments of "very fine people" on both sides (of the Charlottesville incident), they think they will be given the same pass that trmp implicitly gives them every time he doubles down on that remark, which he did again two days ago.

[MadDAsHell]

23. What "pass" are you referring to though? What mass shooter has received a pass?
