you heard it here folks: THE LEFT WANTS THIS TO BE CALLED A TERRORIST ACT

The Intercept: The White Privilege of the “Lone Wolf” Shooter

So get ready to put literally everyone on the left on the terrorist watch list, since this guy is a radicalized lefty!

I can't tell if I'm triggered or ready to rofl. Maybe both?

I think we're all leaning toward this being a terrorist act though.

Didn't everyone on social media screech about the dude who drove his car into some fat commie mud shark being a terrorist act? Why wouldn't this be considered one then from the start?

Because there's still a chance this doesn't have the requisite motive. His targets weren't affiliated with any political or idealist groups and he himself wasn't so far. There's still a chance this is some nutjob that gambled too much and decided to suicide and take out some innocent people in the process.

Highly, highly unlikely (like close to 100% unlikely IMO), but until we know for sure we can't say it was terrorism. It's like that whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing even when we know the accused is guilty AF - it's not terrorism until we know it is.

In my opinion the authorities have a pretty good idea of his motive but aren't sure how to properly frame it without seriously pissing a certain few groups of people off. I think the motive is so highly politicized that if they don't tread extremely carefully the mere mention of the motive can spark a fuse.

Sounds like his mummy didn't love him enough growing up.

Another thing to note, the media is reporting the shooter's net worth at around 2.5 million, however the brother describes him as getting thousands of dollars of sushi comped, sending out 100k to tangential family like it's nothing, bossing people around with sandwiches, buying people homes, paying off his brother's retirement, gambling 10k hands daily etc. He keeps emphasizing how ultra wealthy his brother is.

2.5 mil on the west coast buys a 4 bedroom family house with an OK view in an OK neighborhood. At a 2.5 mil net worth on the west coast, i wouldn't even really consider someone to be a real estate investor without more money in the market, more like a hobbyist. i don't see anyone below the $50-100 mil bracket living that kind of lifestyle longer than a year, yet we're expected to believe he maintained it for decades.

another fishy thing is how the brother keeps emphasizing how his brother acted alone when he supposedly had nothing to do with anything. it's incredibly unusual behavior for someone grieving to be harping on intricacies of the case and acting like he has insider info. he also shows a strong understanding of how bump stocks work early on in the interview and later goes on to play dumb like he doesn't know what one of those "bumper stocker doo hickeys is"

gambling was a front to explain the money to his family, he's into some shady shit. casinos are a good way to clean dirty money.

Thinking of selling my crappy bumpstocks. I bet I can shoot faster and with more accuracy with a good trigger assembly anyway. I bet I make a killing right now (no pun intended).
