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.

You post an alleged photo of 2 shooters and then an hour later agree that it is probably not actually shooters but cops? Maybe consider doing a little more homework before posting things that could make conservatives look foolish. Do you have any verification that the Dayton shooter is actually in the other photo you posted? It doesn’t look like him.

They originally said it was at the mall but it was the Walmart which is net door I think.

The MSM doesn't want to specify the shooting location as Walmart as Walmart is an MSM advertiser, and that would put an advertiser in a bad light, so they use a generic term "mall".

I hope the rest of the faces in that photo are on somebody’s radar other than their MK Ultra handlers.

But that won’t stop hateful, racist leftist writers from calling them right wing, white supremacists. Leftists hate you, folks. Their ultimate goal is to get their enemies loaded onto trains for eventual liquidation.

It had to kill CNN to post this. I'm sure they're watching the clock to the minimum time available to post this so it can be pulled before most folks get a chance to see it.

“Amazingly this actually was published at CNN. “

Why not? They are focusing on El Paso so this was a probably comment made in passing.

Amazingly this actually was published at CNN.

translation: The Democrat Party establishment is going to use this incident to try and neuter their AOC whackjobs.

LOL! I grew up in southern Arizona, so I’ve heard (and experienced) that phrase before.

He also retweeted messages supporting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

If he supported Trump the media would demand that Trump denounce him, funny how the corrupt media inserts their bias.

So, the El Paso POS was a militant Environmentalist, a Ted Kazinski with a Gun instead of a Bomb.
