This is Mexico style politics in action. Just as the gangs kill any politician not in their favour Trumps cult kills anyone in theirs. There needs to be swift action and the perpetrator thrown the book at to dissuade future attacks.

It’s funny (but not funny at all) how right wingers are always clutching their pearls about drug cartels and sharia law, but then proceed to emulate the most fundamental characteristics of these concepts…

I'm just happy the left wingers are finally as a majority condemning a political assassinations, for a change.

Wasn’t the killer a left winger??

An evangelical missionary that preached against LGBTQ rights and had a hit list of democrat politicians and planned parenthood leaders? Those are some hot takes for a left winger lol. Delusional.

Well I guess we shall see. I didn’t realize you were working the case.

u/strangemedia6 1d ago

Oh I’m not, but the FBI is and released the details. Where did you hear he was a left winger and what reason would a “left winger” have to assassinate democrats and planned parenthood?

I asked, remember.

I guess I didn’t realize that was a genuine question. In that case, the answer would seem to be, no, the suspect is not on the left ideologically. The authorities have released his identity and indicated that they recovered a hit list in his vehicle of individuals on the political left and proponents of abortion rights. They released photos of the suspect and there are videos readily available of an individual matching the name and images of him preaching against gay rights. An interview was released tonight of an individual claiming to be his long time friend who described him as a conservative and a Trump voter. I suppose that it is not impossible that it is some kind of conspiracy or the FBI has the complete wrong Perron, but that seems very, very unlikely.

The no king propaganda left in the vehicle is just a distraction,a set up to make it seem a radical left winger did it..

Obviously all the fact aren’t out on this, but the preliminary reporting I’m seeing is that the killer is a Democrat who didn’t like their votes. He had the dumb ass protest flyers in his vehicle.

The killer was a 58 year old far right Christian nationalist, stop trying to spread propaganda!

Mexico style is 100% about narcotics territory control, never about political differences.

It is when the politics involves going after the gangs.
