    Someone aligns shooter's manifesto with tweets from politicians.
    The next time someone says that the El Paso shooter wasn’t motivated by Trump and company, I’m not going to say anything besides “look at this for three minutes.”

    Of course he was. He just turned 21. That means when Trump was elected he was around 18. When he was running and spewing hatred he was 16 and 17. Is he telling me he cultivated his entire political ideology as a Sophomore in high school?

    • he used the most vile word racist word to describe my people, "Hispanic" how could anyone associate us with the conservative Cuban voting block of Florida!?!robotron3k
    • Whatthefunk do not be scared of racism, it's just a word.robotron3k
    • racism is just a word?monospaced
    • It's only a word.robotron3k
    • No, it's not.monospaced
    • I always assume everyone's parents gave them the talk about racism and having to work extra hard to fight against stereotypes but I suppose not.robotron3k
    • God robo, for as much time as you spend trolling you'd think that you'd actually get good at it. Slow learner?garbage
    • Also big surprise that the El Paso shooter has the compositional prowess of a middle school kid desperate to beat a word count.garbage
    • Garbage, are you insinuating minorities aren't good at trolling?? :)robotron3k
    • are you insinuating you're a minority? please... the schtick is oldmonospaced
    • Oh no, here we go again...robotron3k
    • I'm insinuating that you're incapable of debating with anybody so you resort to spewing bullshit thinking you're getting people "triggered".garbage
    • The only frustrating thing about you is that I'm pretty sure you're too stupid to realize how stupid you are.garbage
    • garbage debating your skill is tops. insult. but the image is absolute out of context garbage very loosely link shit like on a alien website. Even one of trump
      ********
    • but does reinforce a MSM identity game over a relevance to guns at all... fuck it lets run with this show
      ********
    • but really so many people are leaving CA or other liberal states and going to texas as cheaper living escaping their virtues
      ********
    • added onto the immigration border control stuff most dont have to deal with.. why wouldn't natives feel concerned or scared?
      ********
    • Does one not feel scared when management get shuffled or hostile takeover in their business?
      ********
    • I also think this image does little to show liberal pro immigration policy that of course would scare him more than any right viewpoint. look at ca with free

    • healthcare.. doesnt take much intelligence to determine who pays for it...
      ********
    • I don't know whether to tell you to put the bottle down or to go see your programmer, because you sound rampant.garbage
    • And if you are in any way trying to justify this shooter's manifesto then I have turned pro-wall, so long as the wall is built between you and everyone else.garbage
    • Signed, Lifelong responsible gun owner.garbage
    • i sound rampant because... people think its enough to express feelings nowadays instead of reasons.
      ********
    • and know to reiterate the post is shit and has little to do with anything. but from the kids point of view I can see where his fear was coming from.
      ********
    • guns or racism has little to do with the fear and culture and politics.
      ********
    • Yeah, that last comment of yours is one of the dumbest things you've ever said. This dude was racist and scared, and shot up a Walmart for xenophobic reasons.garbage
    • Also: "I can see where his fear was coming from." Seriously dude? You just threw out sympathy for a murderer.garbage
    • hot garbage you admit he was scared as im saying. so why? and no fear is not do to "racism." so why?
      ********
    • and don't go and assume in looking for understanding or even acknowledging causes as sympathy. those 2 things are far different
      ********
    • why would pro immigration policy scare anyone, deathboy, unless they were racist and that racism was fueled by a false fear narrative fueled by the right?monospaced
    • You argue racism is natural and we should sympathize with this kid because he had racist thoughts and was scared of immigrants after watching FOX News? gfymonospaced
    • no mono you are saying that. Immigration policy is not a big deal in small amounts. But Texas on the border is different. Large amounts mean drastic changes
      ********
    • which means large uncertainty and fears. Introduce 5% per year in NYC and see what happens. Look at europe. Fear and change from what we cant
      ********
    • control or group with. New culture forced change. Again a new boss in a company shaking things up as an example. the fear of it and anger to change you dont lik
      ********
    • e. Fear of change and anger especially if you suffer for it. Lesser wages, competition, etc...
      ********
    • Introduce the term "racism" and you ignore every real aspect of issue and reduce it to a triviality that is meaningless to the problem
      ********
    • and when media focuses heavily on such things its hard for simps to figure out feelings and fears and who or what to blame.
      ********
    • the easiest target is the ones highlighted everyday and that is behind a racial motif. now some people may truely embrace it and develop hate based on race
      ********
    • but its just cause they're too stupid following media sell points. but i bet if you sit down with the kid and ask him what he feared you be surprised how
      ********
    • little it has to deal with race, and that its merely focused incorrectly. and helping young kids with little perspective of life being fed so much race bait
      ********
    • deal with fear and change and perspectives may do far more good than the knee slap reactions we see towards guns and everything unrelated
      ********
    • its quite comical. oh and by the way "racism" by definition isnt natural. made up term. fear of culture differences is natural. being different. wanting to fit
      ********
    • in is highly natural and popular. if different skin tones or races shared same cultures you dont see racism. the idea is so pathetic
      ********
    • and if you want to do society a favor get rid of it. Peoples fears of others have little to do with skin color or race.
      ********
    • but hey if all people saw shit the way i do we probably wouldn't really be in this pickle. unfortunately many ppl see the world as you do.
      ********
    • I don't want to sit down with anybody who thinks that shooting up a Walmart and writing a grade-school manifesto is a solution to any imagined problem.garbage
    • From your own ramblings, you're either a self-denying racist or scared of a little competition. Pick one.garbage
    • Also "Peoples fears of others have little to do with skin color or race" will be the most brainless thing I will read all week. Congratulations, it's Monday.garbage
    • you're saying that increased immigration causes racial fear ... gfymonospaced
    • only if you're being fed lies by the right-wing propaganda media machine, and clearly you've eaten it all upmonospaced
    • and you guys are perfect reps for what emo feelers that leave reason at the door. any argument or reason is better than your dogmatic belief structre of a child
      ********
    • perhaps a reason why increased immigration amongst an populace doesnt cause racial fear? perhaps any source... maybe looking for a source may teach you somethin
      ********
    • and garbage paint me a picture where skin color/race is the ONLY fear? We are born to hate race (human construct), or skin color biologically? where does this
      ********
    • exist in nature? One may try to argue culture but that culture is always about fear of losing something. the thing is if nothing to fear there would be none
      ********
    • but there is because there is something to fear. minimum wage was to keep negros from working. a generalzation on scab type under cutting labor.
      ********
    • I guess if everyone could be told something and they understood it would we be where we are. some people just dont get it.If you want to broaden your view
      ********
    • i can help. but i dont think that is something you are even trying to do. just trying hard to reinforce your worldview.
      ********
    • I was going to reply with some stats, but God damn, your arguments are so dumb that I'm just going to assume you're trolling.garbage
    • My only emotion is YAWN because you keep showing up in my feed. If you're sincere, you're a fucking terrible person. If you're trolling, you suck at it.garbage
    • /threadgarbage
    • oh im sincere. and im a pretty nice person. check your premises
      ********
    • but you do prove my hypothesis. you arent looking for truth but reinforcing your preferred world view
      ********
    • My world view is the actual world. You said "negro" in 2019. You want facts?garbage

    • knives bombs guns doesn't matter, some will react violently
      ********
    • haha and yes i used "negro" a term in context to the laws i mentioned. Do you prefer black? Does it matter?
      ********
    • i just dont think you are understanding, or maybe even capable of seeing where i come from. independent thinking is required.

      ********
    • its that basic emotion and fear elevated by hyped up disconnected media and false views of reality.

    • if looking at the roots is boring but watching the bloodshed is entertaining i really am disgusted by our current society

    • le changing culture. basically if i have to spell it out that is where your argument lies if you didn't catch it. ... or even know it...
      ********
    • You're rambling, so I'm gonna keep my response simple.garbage
    • 1. My link proves that there's nothing to actually fear, because "culture shock" is a racist dogwhistle.garbage
    • 2. People died needlessly as a result of racist fear as a result of the current administration's deployment of stochastic terrorism.garbage
    • 3. Before you throw out "if I have to spell it out" as an insult, you might want to learn how to spell.garbage
    • 4. I'm done talking to a wall. We will always disagree. Don't hurt people. Seek help.garbage
    • 1. it doesn't do that. can you explain what in the link proves that? a direct example, study, anything that fear is unrelated to racism?
      ********
    • neither discuss term culture shock or racist dog whistle...again they don't really discuss anything im talking about.
      ********
    • 2. is all death the responsibility of current administrations regardless of ability to control individuals? A+ for stochastic terrorism. thats a new one
      ********
    • 3. you clearly understand my mispellings. and explaining has little to do with spelling. if i mispell a word causing confusion ask and ill fix it or "spell it o

    • at this rate. our culture is quite off kilter. too much tech, too much central schooling, too much escaping any reponsibility.
