I can’t believe the Democrats would do this with their crazy rhetoric! Anyways, Kamala Harris is a dirty commie who will destroy the country and needs to be stopped.
Funny, I don't see Republicans taking shots at Biden or Harris. This is the 2nd assassination attempt in a little over 2 months, against a former President who is "pure evil, will end democracy as we know it, <insert ridiculous fear mongering here>." Pretty sad that assassination attempts against political rivals has become acceptable territory for sarcastic humor. This should be a huge deal to anyone. Either the media is radicalizing people to commit murder against a former President, or our own government is trying to prevent an outsider from possibly winning the election again. Either scenario is not good.

No, I’m making a sarcastic comment at the people who think that somehow the Dem rhetoric is anywhere near the levels of the fear mongering seen by Republicans. Pretty wild that somehow the party who thinks there should be more controls on guns are the bad guys when you had some moronic kid with a rifle and then someone with an AK. But, yeah some social reject is listening Brian Stelter calling Trump hitler lmao.

Ask Chicago how those gun controls are going. You might have missed the point where we've amassed ~400 million guns in this country, more guns than people. We have the technology to 3D print working guns if we wanted. Tell me how you're going to realistically control that many firearms, because Pandora's Box is open at this point. Laws only apply to law abiding citizens. I know you're in Toronto and all so you can have a pass, but the fear mongering here over the "danger" of another Trump term is far worse than anything the Republicans have cooked up over Kamala. Again, Republicans aren't the ones trying to take hits out on Biden and Harris, the party of guns oddly doesn't have a problem with bloodlust or controlling their emotions. So, if the media didn't radicalize these shooters, tell me where they got the motive to take out Trump? Are they just racist against orange people? Extreme hatred towards people with bad toupees? Do they just hate washed up television celebrities? Yeah, makes sense.

The first one was a republican that hated Trump so much he started donating to act blue and tried to kill Trump. Totally democrats fault though.

Alleged shooter is a Republican who voted for Trump in 2016 but was pro-Vivek this year.

He registered Republican to vote against him in the primary lol. Why would he donate to Act Blue if he was actually a Republican?

Seems like he's a lunatic based on his social media. Devout Ukraine guy and volunteer. (Possibly) former Trump voter, I say that only because twitter is full of accounts that lie about that sorta thing for clout. Dem donor, but probably Vivek? Dude is nuts.

Won't be surprised if there are more incidents before the election. People know they can get close to the target.

Sure man whatever you need to tell yourself. His classmates said he was definitely conservative, but I'm sure you know better.

That's typically what you do when you want someones opponent to win.

His Twitter feed was bizarre. Spent a ton of time trying to get people to make his Ukraine love song which he had created the lyrics. Lots of references to him trying to place Afghan fighters in other parts of the world such as acting as part of the Haitian police force.

I know it might tough to fathom, being you’re from rural Ohio and all but being that in my work and doing it in Toronto (you may not know this but it’s the third largest city between the US/CA) it is part of my job to understand the political climate of the US. So yes, I may not have my finger on the pulse of Josie’s corner store.

I mean, if we’re talking about political violence Republicans have had a monopoly on this for quite some time. What are the solutions? Thoughts and prayers? It’s pretty telling that Republicans get more upset when Dear Leader gets shot at then when kindergarteners are gunned down like nothing. I am completely apathetic to it all, Republicans bitch and moan about ohhhhh the rhetoric is tooooooo nasty and then do the most insane fear mongering shit ever or that it’s getting too out of control with these crazies. Whatever man, I know my relatives and friends kids aren’t going to school with action plans on how to survive a shooting because of Brian Stelter article.

Former Trump voter brought a gun to a Trump event and fired zero shots. Just to be clear about what actually happened.

I’m not taking any side, but if he’s donated to Dems more recently then that tells us where he’s currently leaning. Yet like I said before, party affiliation doesn’t matter. This guy is unstable.

He posted this year that he supported Vivek.

Nah. I don’t know how many more times I need to see my cousins and their kids at holidays and hear about how the gun drills are going. Just to see people talk about “oh don’t politicize this!!!” and then those very same people have no problem politicizing this.

So, no, my family and loved ones are suffering the very real consequences of inaction. I will continue to donate to causes to hopefully one day make a difference even though I don’t directly live there.

Carry on.
