Has any incident involving multiple deaths in the US since 9/11 NOT been attributed to right wingers?
I can't think of one. Can you?

(1,941 posts)The Discovery Communications headquarters hostage crisis occurred on September 1, 2010 at the headquarters of Discovery Communications in Silver Spring, Maryland, United States, when 43-year-old James Lee, armed with two starter pistols[2] and an explosive device, took three people hostage in the building's lobby. After nearly four hours, Lee was shot dead by police and all the hostages were freed. Lee's motive was believed to have been grounded in environmental activism.
Oh, wait, nobody died.

You win.
I can't imagine where I ever formed that erroneous impression.

(318 posts)ATTRIBUTION doesn't prove anything. What if a neighborhood attributed every mugging or theft in the local area to black people? Would that somehow mean that black people are therefore more proven guilty? Would that be fair?

(30,439 posts)Got specifics or links? I want to look. All I ask is for you to point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance.
Dreamer Tatum
(10,926 posts)Wait, are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that people here weren't saying it was a right wing gun nut until it became clear it wasn't?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thanks for the extreme belly laugh.
I've been here since the DC snipers (also RWers, of course), and it comes down this way every single time.
My point is - why bother saying on DU that it's probably a right winger? It's ALWAYS a right winger. ALWAYS.
Cali_Democrat
(30,439 posts)BTW...you seemed rather eager to post the NY Post story that claimed the suspect was a Saudi. I wonder why that is?
Nice self delete.
Still waiting on your links though.....

Cali_Democrat
(30,439 posts)unless you want to look like a fool.
However, I'm sure you already came to that conclusion when you self-deleted your post claiming the suspect was a Saudi national.
Well done, sir.
Well. Fucking. Done.
Dreamer Tatum
(10,926 posts)Shame on me.
I'm man enough to admit being wrong. However, I am NOT wrong about the speculation concerning the politics of every significant
shooter going back to the DC sniper.

Some of them are just crazy people who don't seem to have any particular political motivation.
