I love how Americans all analyze the shit out of the political motives of emotionally and perhaps mentally disturbed individuals who commit these murders. It’s not really a surprise that these folks often have barely coherent politics.

It’s like trying to figure out the political ideology of a magic 8-ball.

You might be missing the context here that the right spent the last two days trying to say the shooter was trans and/or a leftist in order to justify study violence against those groups. Not that it’s clear he at least isn’t either of those things, they’re either backtracking, ignoring it, and trying to come up with some new theory as to why the left is responsible. This is why, in this case, derailing their accusations is important.

I disagree. It is important to do so for the same reason that he murdered Charlie. Because it is funny.
