Is he really a right wing extremist if he hates everyone?
Late yesterday, the few lefty blogs I read and the few lefty commenters I encountered were all saying the same thing about the holocaust museum shooter. They all said something to the effect of if only the DHS didn’t have to redact that report on right wing extremism, then everything would be all rainbow-farting unicorns and stuff. And I thought these guys are fast, it’s like they have talking points or something. Turns out, they do. It’s even called Talking Points.
Seems the guy pretty much hated everyone, including Christians, Jews, Neo-cons, and probably puppies. Narrative doesn’t seem to stand up all that well.
My opinion, seems like an 89 year-old with a 22 rifle is probably trying to commit suicide by cop and have one last hurrah for his crazy ideas.

A .22? Really? Good grief – no doubt it’s one of the those AK-47s chambered in .22 that can be used to spary down the entire room from the hip when you hold it by the shoulder thing that goes up. Or something like that.
Not to diminish the loss of the security guy who was killed, but the take-home lesson here seems to be immediate, armed, action stops lone whackos pretty quickly.
This guy chose a well-defended (I’ve been there, the security is obvious and tight, especially considering the rest of the mall) location; I vote suicide by cop.

Hilter was a left wing extremist.
What part of National Socialist do the dumb journalists not understand?
