Will call you nothing bad. However, unless I hear something new, this sounds like an incel rationalizing shooting someon Silent Type Monday #2

I think this is the first time I have seen the shooter referred to as an "incel" sarisataka Monday #21

Yeah. Until today he was considered a hero like DB Cooper or somebody, though Cooper didn't shoot anyone in the back. Silent Type Monday #22

It does seem there is a shift in attitudes happening sarisataka Monday #24

Cooper wasn't a hero..LOL... He's mostly the stuff of "Unsolved Mysteries" LeftInTX Tuesday #27

It's also the first time I've ever seen requests for evidence of it rictofen Tuesday #43

"Incel"? How so? TommyT139 Tuesday #37

Not much on judging his appeal, but he doesn't look so good to me in his mug shot. Silent Type Tuesday #48

If you haven't seen other pics TommyT139 Tuesday #50

I have seen the photos with his makeup on. His eyebrows got him caught. Silent Type Tuesday #52

Yes claudette Monday #4

You know, I don't recall ever seeing you speak out against matricide. By your logic, Scrivener7 Monday #19

"Death Panels" were to project the blame onto Democrats bucolic_frolic Monday #7

You're wrong some people do come out alive and no one deserves to be murdered whatever their age Meowmee Monday #10

Some people come out of end of life care alive? bucolic_frolic Monday #14

I was referring to older people who come in with life-threatening conditions, who or who are killed by the hospitals, et Meowmee Monday #17

I could feel sorry for his children that's probably about it and maybe his parents, etc. Meowmee Monday #11

If his children are of legal age Jilly_in_VA Monday #12

The killer was just as wealthy as the guy he killed. LeftInTX Monday #13

You know he's rich. How do you know he's spoiled? Do you likewise assume all poor people are virtuous? Scrivener7 Tuesday #25

I saw many similar sentiments about the events of Oct. 7 Bonx Monday #18

Absolutely no disagreement from me. Autumn Monday #20

Ditto. They brought it upon themselves, they're killing 'us.' elleng Tuesday #28

The guy who killed him came from privilege and wealth himself. Is rich on rich crime "brought on by themselves"? LeftInTX Tuesday #31

I suspect we'll learn he UNDERSTOOD the workings of the system elleng Tuesday #33

I doubt it....Sounds like he had a mental health break and his mom reported him missing in November. LeftInTX Tuesday #34

*"To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone," elleng Tuesday #35

He admired the unabomber. I do not find this young man's actions admirable. LeftInTX Tuesday #38

But not the killer. However are you advocating for murdering every greedy scoundrel in the US???? LeftInTX Tuesday #41

I've said or suggested no such thing. elleng Tuesday #42

If it starts a revolution, fine, whatever. Trellastic Tuesday #29

Do you admire the unabomber? Because this guy admired him. LeftInTX Tuesday #32

That's a stretch Cirsium Tuesday #53
