Why is there no Dorner thread?

[Comrade Crapski]

I've been gone all week, and I'm surprised nobody is talking about Dorner.

Yes

I did shorten my bolding to just that first part, but I thought I did it fast enough that it wouldn't have been noticed. I shortened b/c I knew someone would just take the easy pickings and say "What you don't think Dorner's a lefty?!?!"

I also added the info on Loughner.

Maybe if safe to assume that these guys are lefties b/c they were all reported to be intelligent and therefore can't be part of the "stupid party."

Whew. Thank you. Between all the secondhand marijuana smoke here in Colorado and just general aging that's a welcome relief.

Yeah, sorry. Often when I see I'm the last to comment, I'll edit if I mistyped, said something the wrong way, or had another idea. Enjoy that 2nd hand, it ain't half bad.

Gabby Giffords' a Democrat FWIW.

A 22-year-old woman in Arizona, Caitie Parker, claimed on her Twitter feed that she went to high school and college with the gunman, and was in a band with him. She described his politics in the past as "left wing, quite liberal, & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy."

Way to omit everything else that I posted. I guess I should have omitted that line about him being thought to be liberal, but I actually have shame.

Do you have any evidence about other recent shooters politics?

Yes. I'll be happy to oblige after I spend the day with my family.

I just don't see it. If you want to make generalizations, how about many of them had problems with their job/career, hated the government left or right, and many have been ex-military. Oh yeah, and 100% of them are nuts which doesn't "lean" left or right.

James Holmes - Self described "middle-of-the-road" political views
Wade Michael Page - Neo-Nazi. Doubt he was a big Obama fan.
Timothy McVeigh - Registered Republican
Ted Kaczynski - Railed against "Leftism"
George Hennard - Hated women and was suspended from job for racist remarks
Eric Rudolph - Anti-abortion and anti-gay agenda

You may want to chuck that Limbaugh talking point.
