The left online is blaming the right, the "Alt-Right", etc.
Who's really to blame?
The guy is to blame. He murdered innocent people intentionally. “Thou shalt not kill” and all that.
The little prick who did the shooting was to blame.
Satan
The crazed shooter is solely to blame. If anyone knew he was going to do this, add them to the list.
Of course they are blaming the “Right”. However, just look at all of the “anti-White” / anti-Western European comments from the Left over the past few years and then tell me who is really to blame for this.
Who says he wanted to change the world? Maybe he just wanted to kill people.
I didn’t sleep a wink last night and I don’t know why. So I fell asleep today and woke up to this horrible news. I read the manifesto of this killer and to analyze it clinically he made some points that are true. But the moron defeated his own “cause” by committing his dastardly deed. All he did was give ammunition,pardon the pun,to the leftists in this country. We’ll have to be tough and defend our right to bear arms no matter how many of these shootings take place. I will not be compared to a wacko who doesn’t have the brains to figure out that what he did was just plain murder. Nothing else but that.
If I believed the MSM I might go crazy too. To hear them tell it we are going to Hell in a hand basket, but if you go outside everything is pretty great. The media has incited violence and should be held to account.
Technology? This kid became a zombie deprived of social skills while spending 8 hours a day in front of a computer (based on his LinkedIn profile).
Media for glamorizing it.
Very many topics are now labeled hate speech.
Words are tried, but this is shouted down, excused as a type of crime.
The issues fester, go under the table, then pop up in this type of incident.
No God
No fathers
No genuine two-way dialogue
I think people who feel they have come to the end of the line will resort to this type of thing more and more.

The majority of the politically-motivated violence that has occurred since Trump took office has been from nuts on the Left.
Society always looks around to see who is to blame for this carnage when it happens, when all they have to do is look at the perpetrator and see who is responsible, the gunman.
You can't blame others for what one person does. It is them and them alone who bear the responsibility for their deranged actions.
We are living in the world that leftists have created.
The kid with the gun. Period.
The Democrats are to blame. They spew their “democratic values” at the kids in “school” and have created this feral society we now live in. They’ve turned people into wild animals.
Welcome to a country in a state of cold civil war.
Here's my take:
1. The individual: individual responsibility seems to be a shrinking concept.
2. Mental Health, and perhaps related drugs: We used to lock up nutty people into a restrictive living arrangements, for the good of everyone. These solutions are rife with risks to the very concept of personal liberty and individualism, and the power of the State, but we should discuss the matter ASAP.
3. Spiritual Health: How many young males believe in God? In Heaven? In Hell and eternal damnation? In the unending, infinite justice of God?
4. Lack of mission: When I was growing up, I knew a) we had to beat world Communism, and in my home of Michigan, we had to get even and/or beat the Japanese and Germans in the automotive industry. I also just wanted to apply computer and robotics technology to cars.
That helped me stay focused, and gave many of us a mission. Well, we did it.
What's the next mission? What happens when you're young, and you have no direction or hope in life? I'm not saying one - by default - turns to mass murder, but it shifts the emotional equation to the left.
The Lorax, according to his mehnifesto.
It was a political act. The blame will fall, appropriately, on the timid.
Who will be blamed?
