    That’s exactly what’s interesting about this. The Media is probably freaking the fuck out right now because he was a regular kid like Luigi. Not easy to define as simply left or right. A normal person with his own life that was still being harmed by the system. It’s still rule numero uno of revolution: When the system no longer works for the middle class or the elite. That’s what’s freaking them the fuck out.

      Yea, but you could find these kind of messages from anyone. 99% of everyone’s messages are gonna be mundane boring shit. What’s the point of posting those? Plus, aren’t most shooters just normal people with their own lives?

        But if they try to force this to be a political issue, despite the testimonies of his closest friends, they can use that to crack down on the left even further. Likely using ICE and the NSA.

          But even if they were not “normal”, you could still find these types of messages. Maybe they had a physical journal with all the hate but online they lived behind a mask.

          Like it’s one thing to say, “hey, we searched all his messages and found nothing weird,” but it means nothing to say, “hey, we found a few messages and they are very normal.” It doesn’t give us any information. Of course you’ll find some of those messages.
