    Is it too late/soon to blame radical leftists?

    The “no kings” event in northeast Minnesota was canceled, and Minnesota state police asked people to stay away from public demonstrations while a suspect is on the loose.

    hahahaha no, the protests are precisely about this kind of violence being normalized, which the police as an institution and societal class can only benefit from, but not us.

      while a suspect is on the loose.

      Personally I would not want to go to the leftist protest when a dude assassinating politicians is being hunted by the cops. If they’re killing Democrats, killing protestors probably is not even a leap in their mind.

      If not wanting to be gunned down in public by some brain poisoned spree shooter that’s targeting Democrats makes me a fake leftist or whatever I’ll take it.

        You sound like a coward to me, which is fine, but do no try to convince others to be equally cowardly.

        No, fill the streets up with joy, the police will never be any help with bringing justice to the source of these crimes anyways whoever the shooter turns up to be.

        When stochastic terrorism happens, yes I think it is important to catch the perpetrator and bring them to justice, but I will not be seduced into thinking the terrorist was unique or sourcing the power and permission for that act of terror solely from a twisted interior. No, this is the act of “sacrifice” rightwing people have been calling for… openly for awhile now and as such I will interpret it that way.
