I still don’t see articles about the Florida shooting - can you please post a link?

It was all way too coincidental, even without a 2nd shooting. How was it Obama was available immediately to deflect from the anti-Christian angle by blaming guns? His anti-Christian rhetoric (bitter clinger for a start) and the SC decision set the ball rolling- isn’t physical persecution the next logical step?

Sad for him there were no flags to blame. I guess Oregon’s history isn’t one of rebellion against a tyrannical government, so he’s not making the location an issue.

“I don’t think there were mass shootings like this back in the 1950s. It seems like it’s once a month now.”

The closest thing I can think of was men “running amok” among the Malay people.

Something is going on. I don’t know what it is, but this is not normal.

One America News (OAN) had coverage and Fox News (FNC) did a "live break" into programming to announce it.
If I see any online updates, I will ping you on this thread.

I agree. It is a distraction and a means to get people to stop thinking logically. Especially the press.

I think the IRA videos on his MySpace page are a clue/message for those who do know his real motive. My (bear with me) theory is that it stands for his views about Israel and the Palestinians. With the IRA symbolizing the Palestinians and of the course the British symbolizing Israel.

If my theory is correct that would mean this was his own act of Jihad and if he had not converted he at least became radicalized and was willing to kill because of it.

What’s the point of committing an act of Jihad if it’s all symbolic and no one knows why he did it?

The web trail is nothing but mindless fodder for the lazy drooling reporters of today. Hopefully there is a serious reporter digging deeper into this man.

I would like to know when this guy enrolled at the college vs. the France train attack news. Did he target this college because of Skarlatos? I find the coincidence to be a bit much.

Because a reaction against a clearly stated Jihad would probably not be the one he was hoping for. If we are busy fighting each other an following trails of false blame how much easier is to for real enemies to slip right by? Part of terrorism is keeping a population in a state of fear. He also just plain wanted to kill people and if any political motive most likely came second to his desire for infamy.

I do see where his dad is Irish so he probably did have a valid interest in the IRA but I do think there is more to it. Mostly because of one of the persons listed as a connection on that page.

So I don’t necessarily believe there is a clear cut single reason for his act. But I sure as heck do not believe a Pagan, Wiccan who was a Conservative Republican who was interested in The Left Hand Path is who the shooter really was.

Or (slight variation) he's noting what a relatively small group of terrorists could do to a country.

According to this screenshot from the Oregon Secretary of State website, the shooter was registered to vote in Douglas County with the “Independence Party”:

News to me, thanks for the link.
