U are correct that it shouldn’t matter, but guess why all this started? Liberal media loves to strike immediately on a gun shooting and strike a narrative, but like in this one talking about a hate crime.Congrats media on both sides. You've done it again. You've got the public arguing about whether the killer was a conservative or a liberal. Was he a conservative who hated ****? Does the fact he or they or whatever was "non-binary" show he was a liberal? Or maybe he was a self-hating "non-binary" person? The fact of the matter is there are deranged people out there who commit mass murder and it's not monopolized by one ideological side or the other.
Of course, the focus should be on how we minimize the number of these events and the number of deaths that occur at each one. IMO we should be more concerned with why the red flag law didn't work. Why did another wack job with a history of mental health issues have legal access to firearms? But hey, why do that when we can be distracted over whether he is one of "us" or one of "them"?
If media didn’t jump to conclusions, then this never would have started. Unfortunately it’s all about ratings and gaslighting provides the ratings… so it was inevitable.
I’m sure u know this, but most of the division in this country is media driven
