One does have to wonder if he might have been an extremist Antifa and did this and sacrificed himself in an attempt to make the type of people he didn't like look bad, of course knowing this would be all over the news and used for political purposes.
Even the possibility some person with power and money could have put him up to this comes to mind.
If you look at many Antifa members, many of them really don't genuinely care anything about the lives of minorities but are desperate for society to believe their enemies commit racist attacks all the time.
There was that story about a Leftist news reporter in Portland who shot at a synagogue and set fire to the outside of a mosque while it was full of people so he would later be able to write a story about a horrible racist attack, frustrated that he couldn't find any actual racist attacks to report about.
It sounds insane, but a few of them are so frustrated their wishful fantasy doesn't actually conform to reality that it drives them to derangement.
Curious how with this shooter, his online manifesto recycles (almost verbatim) many of the left's gun control talking points, including bragging about using a "military grade assault rifle." I have never heard a conservative and/or 2nd Amendment supporter describe an AR-15 as a military grade assault rifle.
I personally think there may have been some obvious signs that the perpetrator may have actually been on the "anarchist" Left and trying to make it look like he was on the "racist" Right, but the news media ignored all those indicators and is selectively misrepresenting this story, to do exactly what the perpetrator was intending to happen from carrying out these murders.
Isn't it still too early to tell? Shouldn't we wait for the details to have a chance to fully come out?
Lots of things the media has been claiming about this don't make sense. Why were black people targeted? (It's not like black people are really "replacing" white people any more than they always have. NY state doesn't even have any problem or issue with black people moving there) Why were two of the victims white?
Why did the shooter's "manifesto" use terminology that sounded like a Left-wing gun control supporter wrote it, in a way that no conservative gun owner would ever write?
He almost seemed like he wanted to get caught, and left his alleged "reasons" for the authorities to find.
Need I also mention that 77% of the people in Buffalo voted for Democrats in the last election?
If this murderer was really trying to hand Progressive Democrats a gift by carrying out this "racist attack", do you really think the authorities in Buffalo (certainly not the local politicians and higher-ups) would be anxious to reveal the truth if there were indicators that the attack may likely not have been what it seemed?
Just for the sake of argument, even if this was a totally racist motivated killing, the facts just do not fit very well that this had anything actually to do with the specific theory of "replacement" that the media is claiming.
The Black population in Buffalo is not even increasing.
Are we to believe this person came from a mostly white town and went all the way across the state to a big city that actually had a big black population because it was about "replacement"?
The city where this perpetrator comes from is a working class mostly Democrat town, kind of a small town and rural, the type of place with moderate conservatives and old-school "blue dog" Democrats.
Furthermore I bet the perpetrator was on anti-depressants, which have been known to be associated with these type of incidents since they blunt any moral feelings.
The same anti-depressants that are designed to make people feel like nothing is wrong, also can make that person feel like nothing is wrong with their thoughts and impulses. I would be very unsurprised if we later find out this teen adult was on anti-depressants. They blunt any feelings of right and wrong, making the patient feel like anything that happens is okay.
I think this is a solid theory. The system MO is to prescribe and move on. The prescription medicine is never examined as much as the firearm chain and certainly a bigger factor. Waukesha is another one that could have been fueled by bad medicine and propaganda.
