Ohio lawmaker blames shootings on gay marriage, video games, open borders

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — A state lawmaker from a district near Dayton has taken to Facebook to blame the deadly shootings in the city and other parts of the nation on gay marriage, transgender people, video games and former President Obama.

Republican State Rep. Candice Keller also blames the legalization of marijuana, protest by pro athletes, and “snowflakes” in the wake of a shooting early Sunday morning in Dayton that killed 10 people, including the gunman, and wounded 27. In El Paso, Texas, 20 people were killed in a shooting Saturday at a Walmart by a gunman who is believed to be the author of a racist, anti-Hispanic document that details his motivations.

Keller tells the Dayton Daily News she did put the post on her private, personal Facebook page. The Daily News reports it has now been taken down, but screen grabs are being circulated on social media.

Other countries have video games, the Internet, legal marijuana, mentally ill people, same-sex marriage, transgender people and even some white supremacists. So why don't they have mass shootings on an almost daily basis like we do?

That's the last line in her hate-filled posting. She is declaring war on modern civilization. And we need to fight back.
