    With the way people on Twitter are foaming at the mouth about this, I wouldn't even make calls like that until facts come out.

    Yeah, people on the far left like antifa and such have declared as much. Maybe some others.

    I think everyone on both sides are scared right now. We shouldn't be seeing each other as enemies. We are all Americans. But of course it's never that easy.

    Most likely. Its so stupid. Why do people even do it on either side? It doesnt solve anything.

    But its the political landscape we are in.

    Despite my now deleted comment. Im not viscerally angry, and I hope he lives.

    Unfortunately, it is probably the case... it makes the most sense, but I do agree.

    I support the first amendment, but there needs to be guardrails put in place because knowingly spreading hateful rhetoric is going to bring about these kinds of scenarios...

    Just dont know you "put the genie back in the box"

    Twitter used to really try to clear up misinformation. For some reason one side was so angry about that and wanted misinformation to fly.

    I'm just saying it may be a safe bet. He was a far right commentator. I mean it could have anyone of any political standing. I guess we will find out.

    I'm having trouble finding the same level of empathy that I always am blindsided with for school shooting victims. Tragic that his child will grow up without a father.

    I guess the prayers must have been to speed him to the afterlife. Which is what every Christian should want.

    Will the right and left ease their gaslighting?

    I think it will get worse. I think this will unfortunately be used to widen the divide. Damn it.

    I want to apologize for my initial comment, and id say this whether he lived or died. My anger, while I did not like anything he talked about, is more systemic than individualized. I apologize for my words and send my best to his family. Unimaginable what they must be feeling :(

    A reminder that every online interaction, even this one, is being actively monitored by at least one fascist government with at least a few axes to grind.
