1. He was radicalized directly by tRump and Fux and RW media.

Fox News And Trump’s Tweets Helped Radicalize The Mail Bombing Suspect, His Attorneys Said"
“He believed liberals, under the direction of Democratic leaders, sought to harm and kill him because of his support for Donald Trump.

"The Florida man who sent a series of explosive packages to prominent Democrats and critics of the president last year became radicalized off of daily consumption of Fox News, Donald Trump’s Twitter feed, and conspiracy theories on the internet, his attorneys said.

"In a sentencing memo filed Monday, attorneys for Cesar Altieri Sayoc, 57, said their client struggled with steroid abuse, “cognitive limitations and mental illness” that made him susceptible to “outlandish reports in the news and on social media. As a result, Sayoc came to believe that “prominent Democrats were actively working to hurt him, other Trump supporters, and the country as a whole” — an idea that was reinforced by what he heard on Fox News and from the president himself."

2. I wish every single one of those he targeted would stand up and give a speech

either on the Senate or the House floor. Give the context. Read what his lawyers wrote in his defense: that the Rump radicalized him.


Then he can get life behind bars and rot.

9. Even Sayoc's attorneys know

"Outlandish reports in the news and on social media." Luckily for mentally fragile folks across the country, the media do a very poor job of pointing out the "outlandish" nature of these reports. The Moonves Rule in full effect.

6. We need to start keeping track of all the Trump / RW inspired terrorism.
