Inside the dark thoughts and far-left leanings of Dayton shooter Connor Betts
NY Post ^ | August 07 2019 | Yaron Steinbuch, Amanda Woods and Aaron Feis

Dayton killer Connor Betts’ online footprint provided a glimpse Tuesday into his dark thoughts and far-left political leanings — even as investigators worked to pin down a concrete motive for the massacre.

“Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die,” read a message retweeted hours before the shooting by Twitter account @iamthespookster, believed to have belonged to Betts.

The account, yanked offline in the wake of the early Sunday bloodbath, included multiple selfies that strongly resemble the 24-year-old, and a bio section that reflected what few details have emerged of his personal life, including “he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist.”

And by “far left,” they mean typical Democrat Party “progressive”

The El Paso shooter, if you read his supposedly “manifesto”, was also a global warming freak who thought murdering people would be good for the environment. The only reason he’s being tied to Ttump is because he used the word invasion, like Trump sometimes does, when talking about illegals crushing the border to the United States, aided and abedded by democrats who want their vote. There’s also a good chance he didn’t write a word of the “manifesto.”

“””Caitlyn “Adelia” Johnson, who went out with Betts from March through May, said that on their very first date he showed off his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of mass shootings from across the country.”””


There was a lot of discussion yesterday re Caitlyn “Adelia” Johnson on FR.

Adelia Johnson wrote her long novel about her relationship with Connor Betts at—

We need to keep in mind that Adelia Johnson is an aspiring screen writer and I suspect the only factual aspect about her above novel is that she did meet Connor Betts at Sinclair College.

If you read her novel, you will find that all of her stories about Connor Betts can be substantiated.

I have come to the conclusion that she wrote the story to perhaps have TV producer hire her to write screenplays.

Well, compared to much of the writing I see in today’s “journalism”, she is a fairly decent writer.

The entire labeling of this shooter as a Trump Like White Supremecist was a Wag the Whitey situation. Falsely promoted since the manifesto even states his thoughts predated Trump. This shows the whole problem. The Democratic Party and its Deep State controller are completely collapsing. That shooter was a left centrist worried about the border before Trump. The Deep State is going nuts. You see it every day. Just thank God they so not control the nukes.

He was a “crazy” person. None of his rants and beliefs should even be taken seriously. If he was a bus driver...he would have driven off the road...if a nurse...killed his patients..real problem is crazy people in control of dangerous equipment.
My guess is that there are more than a few of these folks lurking around.

Since our population is over 300 million I would expect tens of thousands of these loose cannons to be in our midst. - Tom

Wonder what his college profs filled his head with.

There’s a UT Austin, TX prof who has been a long time population killing off believer and teaches it to his classes. He wants to release Ebola to wipe out 90% of the world’s population. Imagine the number of wackadoodles who have eaten up his lectures.

They’ve yet to label him correctly. He killed his sister and her black boyfriend. How hard is it to figure out motive? But, noooo, they have to keep spinning it until something sticks to the wall. If it doesn’t, they’ll apply super glue.

We have seen our colleges go from education, to left wing indoctrination, in the last 40 years. -Tom

On the Fox Network I watched Trump arrive in Dayton and go the hospital... SAW THE anti-Trump, CONNOR BETTS sympathizers and ANTIFA NEO-NAZIS picketing Trump.
……
Fox also had a report that Rep Castro had realized names, addresses, employers of some Trump supporters.... expect that the Nazi Storm Troopers were provided the same type of information regarding Jews on 9-10 November 1938. aka Kristallnacht.
The Congressional Democrats and AntiFA are using the same tactics as the “The Sturmabteilung, (literally Storm Detachment, was the Nazi Party’s original paramilitary. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting...”

I've just read through most of the threads on this here on FR, but I have to work - and sleep - sometime. This is the first I've heard re: the sister's boyfriend being black.

The last info I had was that the sister was dead, but the boyfriend was still alive and hospitalized. Got a link to the most recent updates?

Newsone.com... well, I suppose it might be a bit more reputable than Al-Jazeera. As for the article, it seems to be “based” upon some Twitter commentary - IOW, sheer speculation.
