Not all mass shooters are inspired by Trump or Antifa
Every time an evil man steps out onto American streets (or into schools, churches, et cetera) and sprays enough bullets to earn his status among mass rather than normal shooters, there is a plainly undignified rush to determine his political beliefs.
Mass shooters can be political animals. Dylann Roof, for example, was a seething white supremacist. Micah Xavier Johnson was a black nationalist. Omar Mateen represented militant Islam.
The rush is necessary in light of the media’s desire to memory hole incidents that run counter to the preferred Liberal-Left narrative.
The example of Omar Mateen cited by the author is a case in point, the preferred media deflection is to classify the attack as “homophobia” and not as an act of “Islamist” terror. The media exploit whichever “victimhood” advances the narrative and ideally hurts the “Right.”
