Dayton Shooter Connor Betts may be antifa's first mass killer
The New York Post ^ | August 9, 2019 | Andy Ngo

Over the weekend, America suffered two mass shootings within hours of one another, in El Paso<, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. These followed another mass shooting in Gilroy, Calif., a week earlier. The alleged perpetrators of the attacks were young, “lone-wolf” gunmen. All three carried out carnage against innocents using high-power rifles. All told, Santino ­Legan (Gilroy), Patrick Crusius (El Paso) and Connor Betts (Dayton) killed 34 people and injured dozens more.

While the attacks are similar, the response from liberals and leftists has been anything but.

Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders succinctly condemned white nationalism — the ideology espoused by the El Paso shooter in his purported 2,300-word manifesto.

Dayton Shooter Connor Betts may be antifa’s first “official” mass killer. There are some pretty strong leanings with several others. Not to mention several media-inspired or Anti-2A killers.

I think you’re right. I think they are the equivalent of Hitler’s Brownshirts

Exactly. A round of .223 or 5.56mm is not “high-powered;” in fact, it is underpowered enough that several states ban it for hunting deer, which are in the same weight class as people.

But why should an article on firearms be accurate?

IIRC, the brownshirts(SA) began as a defensive force to counter communist attackers, when Hitler was still.holding forth on street corners.

Laura Loomer has comments on this.

p.s., I don't like this woman either (she returns the compliment), but she has important things to say about the Las Vegas shooter.

There is no question that antifa is the Democratic party’s SA (Brown Shirts),

I suspect there is an actual coordination going on between some intermediaries between the party leadership and antifa.

They’re avoiding being obvious, but in my opinion there’s definitely some communication going on.

One thing is for certain, there have never any media calls for them to disavow.

These Left-wing @ss-hats just write their own definitions. For example:

rimfire ammo = "deadly"
centerfire, too anemic for hunting = "high powered"
traditional hunting rifle ammo = "super high powered"
magnum rifle ammo = "mega-super-dooper high powered"
exotic cartridges (.50BMG, .338 Lapua, etc.) = "weapons of mass destruction"

And of course, anything that fires any of the above (including rimfire) is a "military-grade automatic sniper/assault rifle"...

That is why switching from the M-14 to the M-16 was problematic in Viet Nam. A 55-grain bullet is no brush buster like the “.30-06 Short” 7.62 NATO, one of the secondary reasons the 5.56 NATO is not suitable for deer.
