That may be so but he did say he judged the guy on his Facebook posts which maybe include more than just being anti-Trump.

Did I say it did, Chief? Nope.

Read the post again:

I said HE appears to have been an anti-Trump leftist.

Read your own post again. You never said "appears"

Except he didnt say that all people who are anti trump are leftist. He said this guy was an anti-trump leftist.

I dont know if that is true or not, but the one statement isnt the same as the other.

And your statement has no relation to my post, i made no such claim

You guys are failing logic 101. If someone says "it was a black cat", he is qualifying the cat by calling it's colour as black. This is not the same as saying that all cats are black, or that all black things are cats.

The post you were quoting approvingly was, though.

And you are failing at reading, nobody is claiming he said what you are arguing about

Up to these two incidents all the 'crazy' was on the Rightwing side, ie Abortion clinic shootings and bombings, black churchgoers being shot up, Gabby Giffords etc etc

Absolute tosh. Christopher Dorner, last year's attack on the Texas police and the FB torture stuff early this year are easy to recall examples, iirc most mass-shooters in the US have been registered Dems too. People falling over themselves to hitch their politics onto something like this, when so much is unknown bar a lot of people are dead, is pathetic.

Independent.co.uk reporting he is a 64 year old white man.

TBH the guy everyone suspected of carrying out the Boston Bombing's name was everywhere - even legitimate news organisations were retweeting his identity.

Turned out the poor person had been dead by that point. His family were put through hell because of trigger happy retweets.

I'm not saying the name isn't true, but that the Boston Bombing aftermath and witch-hunt should never happen again.

pilly · 02-10-2017 10:42AM

So it can't be blamed on the Muslims this time so it turns into a left vs right row?

Why the fcuk can't people accept that a lot of these shootings are merely psychopaths looking for 15 minutes of fame?

Statement.

Response:

Being anti Trump does not make one a "leftist", hardly call Republicans like John McCain a "leftist".

That second quote is the logic fail. You quoted it approvingly.

Jesus Christ.

I said "going by his FB posts" and "going by" means 'appears' ffs!!

And again, I was talking about that particular guy, not every single person on the planet who is anti-Trump.

Yeah, the reddit detectives really didn't help things.

Really, news reports were saying that there was only one shooter. I see they have closed the airport for the moment to stop people leaving.

Because that wouldnt support whatever agenda people are trying to drive.

It wasn't just their fault though. They started it, but the media should share the brunt of the blame -- the likes of Perez Hilton and other reporters sharing out the name to their hundreds of thousands or millions of followers.

Surely this should be called a woman hunt?

It's the whole everyone wants to blame one side or the other ,

It's just another case of an angry man with access to guns and high capacity magazine or belts

It's not about proof or even this situation.

It's a total failure of logic and if you can't agree to the post you just replied to, you're simply refusing to do so for no good reason.

Let's just go with "hunt".
