I have no more affinity with the shooter than I did with the Unibomber, or the man who shot Gabby Tom Rinaldo Jun 2017 #21

Completely agree. TDale313 Jun 2017 #102

These types? KPN Jun 2017 #87

"bernie or bust" specifically as opposed to most who JI7 Jun 2017 #89

So you think every Bernie or Bust KPN Jun 2017 #92

It brings negative and unnecessary attention to the left. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #35

Clinton wanted to expand access to mental health facilities. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #36

this guy was a political fanatic, but that doesn't make him mentally ill nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #38

The shooting of those people does though. brush Jun 2017 #42

it makes him a fanatic and a terrorist, but those arent' categories of mental illness. nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #45

I do not agree. Mentally stable people don't go out and shoot people. Something must have pushed ... brush Jun 2017 #106

not every mentally unstable person has a mental illness nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #107

O-k-a-a-a-a-y. That sounds like an oxymoron...does not compute. brush Jun 2017 #108

there's no generic 'mental illness'--there are identifiable and diagnosable geek tragedy Jun 2017 #109

Ok, but you seem to be saying mass shooter/killers are not mentally unstable. brush Jun 2017 #111

Mentally stable individuals often go out shooting people. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #64

happens all the time in wars and revolutions, if people believe the fate geek tragedy Jun 2017 #66

No doubt. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #69

when we hear words like "revolution" and "resistance" and apocalyptical references geek tragedy Jun 2017 #74

Yes. People do throw out terms like you mentioned. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #80

A fine distinction, but a lot of Sanders supporters are not Democrats. Sanders is not a Democrat. pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #44

That anti-Democratic sentiment BainsBane Jun 2017 #46

Sure. But when has the media ever played truthfully. Eom pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #50

he was an extremist (and obviously became more extreme) geek tragedy Jun 2017 #49

That is an interesting quote. I like it. But not really factually true. eom pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #51

what part is untrue? nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #57

It goes along the same manner as, both sides. pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #60

So he is not a democratic party voter. hopefully end of message in the media to that! lunasun Jun 2017 #67

Ha. Again. cwydro Jun 2017 #85

The shooter was a Bob'er and supported Stein..was on his facebook Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #70

So much stupidity lunamagica Jun 2017 #104

I agree. Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #117

Can I just say I hate fucking Jill Stein...and this guy is not a Democrat. Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #55

He is one human being in a nation of over 300 million. This isn't whose side are you on. Tom Rinaldo Jun 2017 #59

No of course not...but we will be tarred with this guy's shit and he did not support Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #71

Yes. They will try to tar all anti-Trumpers. Tom Rinaldo Jun 2017 #79

We agree...very few revolutions are bloodless which is why I believe we work within the system and Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #84

Peace. Yes, on that and this we agree n/t Tom Rinaldo Jun 2017 #86

I checked out his face book page no postings about family or friends or anything other than politics TNLib Jun 2017 #61

one can be a nutjob without having a mental illness nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #62

It looks to me the act was politically motivated but at the same time his face book page looks nuts TNLib Jun 2017 #65

as I said, he was a nutter, but that doesn't mean he had a treatable geek tragedy Jun 2017 #68

I think he looks like a partisan who became increasingly radicalized. Demsrule86 Jun 2017 #72

anger is an appropriate response to this. geek tragedy Jun 2017 #81

The running narrative should be "a Jill Stein supporter", then, not Bernie Tarc Jun 2017 #99

That won't fly. Bernie said the guy volunteered on his campaign. oasis Jun 2017 #105

No, the running narrative should be that all this stuff is totally irrelevant. Jim Lane Jun 2017 #112

But that wouldn't serve the OP's agenda melman Jun 2017 #115

Yes - because that will work... jmg257 Jun 2017 #116

It matters what he did later on Tarc Jun 2017 #124

Looks like FB took down the pages JHB Jun 2017 #100
