http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_Communications_headquarters_hostage_crisis

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.

I don't see how Cho Seung-Hui, the gunman, would fit the profile of a right-winger.

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?

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.

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.

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.

But not all of them have been proved to be the work of right wingers.

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