A Twitter account that appears to belong to Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts retweeted extreme left-wing and anti-police posts, as well as tweets supporting Antifa, or anti-fascist, protesters.

The most recent tweet on the @iamthespookster account was on August 3, the day of the shooting, when he retweeted a post saying, "Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die." He also retweeted messages supporting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The user's Twitter bio reads: "he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / I'm going to hell and I'm not coming back." One tweet used the hashtag #HailSatan.

TWO SHOOTERS outside Dillards, next to the WalMart.
The mall was not yet open, so they went back to WalMart

How come the two alleged shooters seem to be in a defensive posture?

The mall is closed, and they are the only guys around with semi-automatic rifles.

What exactly are they afraid of?

Could those be police or swat officers looking for the suspect? They originally said it was at the mall but it was the Walmart which is net door I think.

“Authorities searched the Betts’ family home in Bellbrook, a suburb southeast of Dayton, and uncovered writings that expressed an interest in killing people, two law enforcement sources told CNN.
But the writings did not indicate any racial or political motive, sources said.”

I guess it’s okay to have an interest in killing people if no race is mentioned or no politics.

What a crock. They still don’t tie him or his murders to Antifa.

If you expand the picture, it looks like a plain clothes officer and an on duty officer in tactical gear who have taken position near an entrance. The plain clothes officer has a ballistic helmet on and is holding his assault rifle in a typical muzzle down ready position. The on duty officer appears to be using his optical sight to observe the interior beyond the entrance.

It’s tough to have a good appetite for doughnuts in a place as hot as El Paso.

I just sent this Dayton shooter link, along with my comments below to Fox & Friends. Last time I sent an email to them I got a reply from Steve Doocy, so they do read some of the emails sent to them.

Add your two cents worth to FOX. We’ve got to take the fight to the socialist Libs any way we can:

Subject: Check out Dayton shooter appeared to have leftist Twitter feed (on CNN)

Why isn’t Fox and the few conservative commentators left on Fox (the Libs populating the weekend shows are no longer watchable and now fall under the rubric of “fake news”) getting out the word about the politics and ideology of the Dayton shooter like all the networks did about the “racist white nationalist” El Paso shooter.

Thank God for Jesse Watters and Tucker Carlson, or no one would even know about the Satanist, Antifa, Elizabeth Warren lover that is the Dayton, OH shooter. You should be repeating the background facts of the leftist Dayton shooter over and over again just like the socialist Libs are doing on all the other channels. Please rise to the occasion. Come on, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. If not you, who? You know Trump watches your program. Give him a shot in the arm; he really needs some backup here, to help offset the fact that he’s being attacked from all sides.

Someone has got to defend Trump from the collective diatribes of the loony left, with their ship of fools presidential candidates. If the Libs persuade enough voters to vote for the Dems over this, we will all suffer, and that includes you. Our Country will be changed into something with values (or lack thereof) you don’t even want to contemplate. We need TV commentator heroes now before it’s too late.

All the rest of the fake news MSM are committing the sin of omission regarding the background of the Dayton shooter. Please don’t be like them and get the truth out to your audience. We’ve got none of the Alphabet stations other than one half of Fox, Rush Limbaugh, the likes of Carlson, Hannity, Dobbs, Watters, Judge Jeanine, Maria Bartiromo and a few others, and assorted conservative websites. That’s it.

Fox audience numbers are huge in comparison to all of the other cable news channels combined. Please don’t forget who “brung you to the dance” so you can keep those good numbers up before your conservative audience starts abandoning you in despair. See link below:

We don’t need more gun control.

Whoops, sorry about the double post. A slip of a finger that has a mind of its own.

We need Brown Shirt Media control. I like the Modified, Limited part. It will probably take them years to “really dig down” on these stories to discover, years from now, that these shooters actually were libtards after all!

Nutters are an issue. Both states have a version of Florida’s Baker Act. Wonder if anyone tried to make use of it.
