Probably. But keep in mind that a lot of workplace shootings are disgruntled co-workers, employees that got fired etc. So that's always a possibility. But yeah, my inkling is it's politically related unfortunately as I'd worry a lot about copycats after the fact if that's what it ends up being motive wise.

A guy shot up a family pizza restaurant because of a right wing conspiracy theory that started on 4chan. If that's a real event that can happen then nothing is impossible.

Generally don't workplace shooters target a handful of people that they hold a grudge with, not the entire office?

Every news outlet will be doing this in the wake of this and Milo, with good reason.
I suspect a number of folks will be following Milo's lead and championing that journalists get gunned down and actively gas lighting the right to make a stand. It's the natural evolution of the President calling the press holding him accountable to be enemies of the state and enemies of America.

V not the best reputable source, I know, but multiple sources are stating the person is in custody.

Of course. I even said I figure it's as probably politically motivated....

Often, but there have been some more mass shooting types at work places were a current/former worker just loses it and shoots up a bunch of people. Just depends on it's just a grudge against bosses who fired them or whatever or someone that hated the job, their coworkers etc. and goes off on all of them when they snap.

Twitter post from today that's unfortunately now even more incredibly relevant.

Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick --if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know. But I'll tell you what, that will be a horrible day, if -- if -- Hillary gets to put her judges in.

If this ends up being a lunatic after the "fake news" then I hope every legitimate news agency in the nation is fucking relentless in directly and clearly tying this to Donald Trump's inflammatory rhetoric. Don't mince words about how people died because of what he said.

Presser happening now. Saying the building housed more than the newspaper. So not completely out of the question the target was not the newspaper.

CBS reporting 4 dead.

Honest question: is this where one should immediately try to tackle the attacker, or is that just some action movie stuff? I cannot fathom being trapped under a desk, with only a hope that the shooter would ignore me.

Sure, one could try. But in real life, there must be a million things going through the guy's head, least of all would be "get him while he's reloading."

Most people would be paralyzed with fear, and rightfully so.

Maybe he actually did think of it, but also thought that the shooter might have a second gun on him.

Started on 4chan, and stoked by people who grew big off of Gamergate.

At some point you'd hope people would think about the consequences of letting this hateful garbage freely spread online.

It's a big building. Multiple medical practices, the newspaper (Which only moved there a few years ago), and a few other local businesses.
My first job was as a route boy for the paper. This shit sucks.

Interesting.I kind of imagine The_Donald as something like ISIS now, where they take credit for all sorts of bad things even if they didn't have anything to do with it.

These guys are worse than ISIS. Have been for a while.

Why?

Well for one, theyre homegrown. You have higher odds getting killed by one of these white nationalist clowns than any Arabic Terrorist.

Two, Republicans have been hurting and killing American citizens for years through legislation. Just because they aren't physically violent does not mean they ever had anyone's best interests at heart nor the country they claim to "serve"

And Three, ironically they have been physically violent for a while. From Waffle House, To Church shootings. White Terrorism has been a thing for a long time. Just because media doesn't wanna point it out, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


Now we hit the part where shitbirds edgelords cheer when they hear about the next shooting. These guys aren't worth shit.
