NEW: The Dayton Shooter Was a Satanist, Leftist-Socialist, and Bernie/Warren Fan, Supported Antifa

This is a pretty major development.

I'm cautious when there is reporting based on "we think we found his/her social site" since in the past they've gotten the wrong person.

This one seems life a better approach, based on official record:

BREAKING: Dayton Mass Shooter Was Registered Democrat, Voted In 2 Dem Primaries

CNN:

The account retweeted messages supporting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as posts against ICE agents, including one that said, "these people are monsters," and multiple posts condemning police, and supporting Antifa protesters, who often use violent tactics. There were also many tweets of selfies, photos with a friend and ordinary memes and nonpolitical content.

@SecondJon Now we're talking!

"As a high school student, the gunman had a "hit list" of classmates he wanted to "kill" or "rape," said former students who said they were told by school officials they were on the list."

"Betts was in a band called the Menstrual Munchies. [...] Pornogrind is an offshoot of goregrind and grindcore music; the lyrics discuss in extremely graphic and violent ways, pornographic and sexual themes"

But sure, let's focus on this POC retweeting Warren.

@rosnovsky
CNN was the one focusing on it, I just posted it because we had thought there was no good source for that so when I saw one I thought I'd share.

I agree that we shouldn't blame a politician or their general ideas or supporters just because someone who kills has repeated talking points of the politician or supported of that politician, or has been against the perceived enemies of the politician.

Bernie Sanders isn't responsible for his volunteer who nearly assassinated the republican representatives (and did shoot one) , AOC isn't responsible for the ICE bomber, Warren isn't responsible for the Ohio shooting, Trump isn't responsible for the Texas shooting.

I agree that these are individuals with their individual problems that may be caused by and able to be addressed by various things, and we could do much better than focusing on something to score a political hit against a political adversary.
