So the extreme left is becoming as radicalized as the alt right?

[retrowire]

This is how it starts then.

Welp.

1. Well if everyone can have as many guns as they want

then all sorts of people will have them and will use them when they get angry enough. Old white dudes included.

2. Horseshoe theory in action? We need to get away from dichotomous thinking in politics

3. violence from the left is not new

5. Violence is still as American as apple pie, and the left is just as American as the right nt

7. He is not representative of the extreme left...

just as right wing terrorists are not representative of the far right. There are crazy people out there.

8. Once someone straps a gun on, they are pretty much the same, if you ask me.

9. First, I think we need to know if he is extreme left.

He was a Sanders supporter and voted Stein. He dislikes Democrats. I heard he was a X-Republican. That does not make him extreme left. I need more facts.

10. I don't know of extreme far left militias or well organized national hate groups

The Right has plenty - and a long track record of using violence. For now and for the conceivable future, this is a case of false equivalency. I admit though that the conceivable future no longer stretches as far out on the time horizon as it used to

11. The left has nothing to apologize for.

Those on the left who voted for Stein or stayed home(BoBers) are fools, not a part of some extreme left.

Overwhelmingly, BoBers are not a violent group of people.

BoBers are not Sanders people.

This was a lone gunman.

12. I lulz'd

[gratuitous]

13. If that is true, and recent history is any guide

This shooting should confer automatic credibility on leftists, and the popular media should be falling all over themselves soliciting liberal opinions on issues of the day, listening respectfully, and adopting our concerns as their own.

Right?

14. Not in the sense you normally use to describe extreme left.

This is one crazy guy with a history of violence. He certainly doesn't represent Bernie supporters in any was way.

15. "Becoming"???? IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN!
