No, that is probably the classic example of leftist lunacy because it illustrates the “That’s Not Happening! (And It’s Good That It Is)” principle. They will deny deny deny, but it’s good good good. Or something. Don’t try to make sense of leftist dogma.

In a way though, this is a story they really don’t want. Or put another way - by censoring information, by never talking about certain things, it drives people to seek out alternative sources of information that they believe they can trust. Replacing whitey has been part and parcel of the strategy since what, 1965? It isn’t a secret, except to leftists; or .. something.

Leftism created this guy, any way you slice it, no matter how far ya wanna drill down. That’s why it’s ironic to hear politicos call for more of the same.

Yeah, yet black is capitalized, that really shows the far right that they are wrong.

That pesky First Amendment gets in the way.

The NY State Police KNEW this kid was a whack job for two years! So, Kathy, what the heck are you going to do about this? As I remember, Prince Andrew was using the Guys (and Gals) in Purple Ties for his own personal Pretorian Guard. Was this part of the plan to get rid of guns in NYS? I am being harsh because I am pissed off!

Leave it to the left to go after the 1st and 2nd Amendments when one of their own flips out.

If that’s even what happened.

That is my suspicion as well. I bet he had a possible target in mind who lived in that area, not able to find it just shot up a bunch of random people instead.

I agree, but the Liberal Twerp “leaders” in NY have permanently cut the cord to Ol’ sparky.

Social media had nothing to do with this. Maybe she should ask why the state police brought him in and investigated him a year ago for threatening to do a school shooting…and then referred him for mental health evaluation (possibly in-patient, IIRC) and didn’t do anything when he was just passed onto “counseling” and apparently dropped out of school and never showed up. If the Justice system had done its job, this wouldn’t have happened.

The NYS governor’s office has kilt more NYStaters over the last couple of years.

This person is completely nuts, and advocating nothing less than the abolition of the freedom of speech, albeit electronically.

Yep, and here we have some communist, deciding what is hate speech. To these slime bags, any opposition to Obama/Biden, is hate speech.

From what I heard, she was after social media more than guns, though I could have missed some remarks.

Got news for you guvna - it is the sinful human mind
that (all too frequently) is inherently evil -
and NOT social media websites.

Butter knives are 'inherently evil' because people
have been injured and occasionally killed by them?
Bricks are inherently evil? People have been hit
on the head with bricks and died! Ban bricks?

Ban butter knives!
Ban bricks! (We'll all live in straw huts until the first straw hut fire fatality.)
Ban straw!

BAN! BAN! BAN!!!

SCARED FOLKS NEED PROTECTION!!!

Hochul must be so used to Democrats killing when no video is produced..

Or disabled. Or video systems malfunction

Hochul, you are the problem. If NYS had concealed carry, someone could’ve gun this LEFTIST nutcase down in the parking lot of Tops.

The reaction to a contemptible idiot misusing facts cannot be a ban on facts and truth.

That “whites” are declining as a proportion of the US population, is a well-establish and non-controversial demographic reality. This trend is due to the demographic impacts of an aging white population, white women choosing to have fewer children, easy access to abortion and birth control, the Democrats’ policy of encouraging and subsidizing mass illegal immigration, federal immigration laws that clearly favor non-whites and encourage anchor babies and chain immigration, etc. This is not a mysterious theory.

Leftists thrive on racism and division as tactics to seize power. There is abundant evidence that the Left in academia, schools, and government demonizes whites as evil oppressors of non-whites, and pushes the assumption that non-whites are somehow inherently “good” by comparison. Critical Race Theory assumes white oppression is the cause of all things; individuals must have a mentality of looking for it in all things. Whether there is a Leftist conspiracy to “replace” whites makes little difference; the practical effect is plain as day.

There is a vast difference in recognizing reality and committing violence against innocent individuals due to their race, etc. Nuts have always found ways to blame others for their failures and excuses to harm others they find threatening. Is the governor’s plan to classify all demographic data, the US Code, etc., as Top Secret because 0.0000001% of the public can’t be trusted to know anything?

The only solution is to ban all social media and we all might be better off
