Children of the victims had to take Gilbert, their beloved golden retriever, to be put down, the chair of the DNC claimed.

        It’s so fucking infuriating…

        The guy apparently had some no kings fliers so they’re sticking to that and saying he was a “Marxist that was mad the Democrats aren’t voting the way he wants”

        …so… Democrats are simultaneously Marxist leftist all the time, and not Marxists so this guy needs to kill them… Right…

          Bro look at the flyers the cops totally found in this dude’s vehicle. Completely legit, not planted by the police flyers. Yup.

            I think it’s possible that the flyers were not planted. I don’t really know why it never crosses anyone’s mind that maybe he just stole a bunch of these flyers because he wanted to limit people‘s awareness of the protest.

          From what I can tell, the ‘No kings’ flyers were posted by one Twitter account that regularly posts unverified news.

            I read an AP article that mentioned them so I really hope they aren’t relying on some douchebag on Twitter for their info too :/

          I thought it was obvious he was planning bring those as a “disguise” to shoot up a protest next. Then try to find an abortion clinic open on the weekend…

      I will be surprised if they address it in anything but the most hands-off, distant references. “We heard something about the story, really tragic, we hate to see it.”

      Even acknowledging it at all is a political minefield. The good news (for them) is they don’t have to! The vast majority of conservatives in this country, even the “tame” ones who are just scared of different people but have no political passion, they’re getting a deeply cultivated perspective of the world, one that mentions this murder as a strange side-incident that nobody is really talking about, a feed that shows them hundreds of thousands of people cheering at Trump’s parade, of sparse turnouts and cringe leftists at the “no kings” rallies that a few antifa agents organized, of the entire city of LA burning and the tariff’s crushing the economic stability of every other country but the USA, and waves of migrant “criminals” crying in anguish as they are being deported by Daddy Trump every day.

      We don’t see how solid and happy the right is because we also have our own algorithmic bubbles that feed us false hope and dopamine hits of manufactured successes in the face of digital tyranny.

      This is all very bad.
