Yet you title this thread
The March for Science Terrorists.
That is misleading hyperbole. I already got my hand spanked for calling that horse shit, so I won't do it again now, but you are exciting at least as much as the scientist you accuse of causing the incident, this is (....insert anything but horseshit here.......)
It was eco-terrorism when animal rights activists bust up labs and forest harvesting. It was right wing terrorism when abortion clinics get attacked, so I guess it would be climate terrorism when a University lab complex gets 7 focused bullets into one person's office.
I don't LIKE it. As a Civil Libertarian, because it demotes the word terrorism to relatively rare, DOMESTIC inspired events, but it's all gotta stop...
The abortion violence and climate violence was very predictable. BECAUSE it was stoked politically and in the media.
Abortion clinic violence received widespread support, but I haven't seen a bit of support for the incident you described. Have you? You're not even sure of what the motivation for those gunshots were. At this point, it could be nothing more than a divorcing couple, or a drug dealer who happened to be in the building, but you are quick to make up shit to support your unproven accusation.
The event was THAT SAME DAY as a march right past the building. I'd say your "alternate possibilities" are pretty damn slim.. And seven shots into a Senior Faculty office is a "drug deal"? Just admit it and move on.
There WAS inciteful rhetoric at the D.C. rally. And more Political slogans in the crowd than anything about science. Can't allow those reactionary deniers to KILL the PLANET -- can we???
Yet you still can;t say that is the only possible reason. I'll agree it could have been some fringe actor, but you don't know that, and your instigating hyperbolic thread title is way out of line.
Oh -- so a drive-by shooting into a "Climate Denier's" office on the NIGHT OF a protest march against the lab isn't one of the better guesses?
Good think you're not in R&D or detective work.. That's all I can say..![]()
It's still just a guess, and certainly not worthy of the title on this thread, even if it is as you claim.
