Tornado Alley (PROG)

[ForReal]

I wonder how many have taken the time to read the "Manifesto" of the El Paso shooter. A few comments that give a different perspective, as to his motives.......

"Recently, the senate under a REPUBLICAN administration has greatly increased the number of foreign workers that will take American jobs. Remember that both Democrats and Republicans support immigration and work visas. "

"The inconvenient truth is that our leaders, both Democrat AND Republican, have been failing us for decades. They are either complacent or involved in one of the biggest betrayals of the American public in our history. The takeover of the United States government by unchecked corporations."

"The environment is getting worse by the year. If you take nothing else from this document, remember this: INACTION IS A CHOICE. I can no longer bear the shame of inaction knowing that our founding fathers have endowed me with the rights needed to save our country from the brink of destruction. "

"My motives for this attack are not at all personal. Actually the Hispanic community was not my target before I read The Great Replacement." (Written by a Frenchman, written in 2011)

" Even if other non-immigrant targets would have a greater impact, I can’t bring myself to kill my fellow Americans. Even the Americans that seem hell-bent on destroying our country. Even if they are shameless race mixers, massive polluters, haters of our collective values, etc. "

My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that.

It appears that Patrick Crusius had a mixed bag of motivations, both conservative and liberal, for killing the people he did. Many of them predate Trump, as he stated. And it appears his growing discontent grew over a period of years. A very disturbed and ostracized member of our society that finally snapped, having given up hope on his own future.

And what is more disturbing to me are those that are willing to try to make political hay out of this atrocity, including filling campaign coffers, as well as to make Trump responsible for the shootings.

This is what our politics have come to. Twisting of facts to win a political victory. We had more shootings and killings in Chicago, over the weekend, but little criticism of those that run that city or efforts to put a stop to it. No, what is more important is to feed the Democrat Derangement and hate of their constituents.
