Maybe a sympathizer.

You had the MSM pumping out a lot of pro-Palesistinian news in the early parts of the Israeli Gaza campaign.

Like other conflicts, the media forgot to mention why the Israeli’s were doing this and pretended like the starting point for the conflict was when Israeli tanks rolled into Gaza. They focused in on the suffering of the people... Lots of emotional appeals.

The news was definitely defined by a pro-Palesistinian tone and the American political left (example: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ocasio-cortez-statement-worsening-humanitarian-crisis-gaza) as well as all your Muslim politicians (of course that’s where their true loyalty is) sided with them.

Hard to believe that US citizens were hostages in Gaza, most ended up murdered, and you had the US media sympathetic to the Palestinians (hostage takers).

The last living US hostages were released 12 May.

Luigi Mangione syndrome - if you’re a leftist and you’re more righteous than anyone else, you can shoot people you’re bothered by with impunity. Hell, people will even raise money for you after you get busted - just watch.

whipped into a murderous frenzy by the democrats. Needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He will be a cause celeb for their tee shirts. And under the jurisdiction of Jeanine Pirro too. They’re trying to drive it to the CWII.

Exactly. James Comey will even write the killer’s name in seashells.

Another useful idiot does Hamas’ dirty work. There’s never a “hey, waitaminute” moment with these “Free Palestine” loons.

The “party for socialism and liberation” sounds like a contradiction.

Was it just a coincidence the 2 victims were employees of the Israeli embassy or did he know ahead of time who they were and where they worked?

The question on MY mind:

Did the FBI, the CIA or any other rogue federal bureaucracy have him on their payroll as an asset now or at any time in the past?

Shooter was a leftist and engaged in all sorts of commie causes.

Looks to be a homosexual. But is certainly a pajama big type.

I blame NPR and their neoleftist propaganda
