Why did Crooks shoot Trump?

[Stryder50]

OMG. That's horrible.

That's your Left-Wing Nuts' MSM; and the lies and distortions they pedal.

 

[Picaro]

Do normal everyday Americans somehow climb up on a roof and attempt to kill someone?

Apparently they do in SupaBad/im2's Hoods.

 

[Delldude]

The FBI is going over his computer files.
Websites he visits, social media posts
They are interviewing friends and family

My guess is he is apolitical and is not obsessed with either side.

Looks like he worships guns more than politics

Who do you think is financing a guy who has hardly any money in his bank account, yet can hop the pond to go recruit for the Ukes, fly coast to coast, etc?

Something smells here.

Never heard it
Got a link?

 

[rightwinger]

If apolitical he should have targeted Biden or Harris and gone out in a larger "Blaze of Glory".

Trump was closer to home

Fuck............wrong assassin.............

All look the same......

 

[MisterBeale]

I haven't heard the GOP calling out to kill Biden and others in media.

There has been an excess of violent rhetoric from the left since 2015/6

This is because, I am willing to bet, you ONLY view and read media with a right bias.

Everything depends on story selection.

If you only had watched MSLSD? You would have only seen or been informed of the violent rhetoric of the right.

Initial reaction seemed to be a radical leftist who was persuaded by liberal propaganda that Trump was a threat to the country who needed to be stopped.

So far there is no link of Crooks to annt-Trump websites, no political social media presence.

What we are seeing is the typical shooter profile.
Young, white male, social outcast, picked on in High School, obsessed with firearms.

Was Trump shot for political reasons or because he was a high profile target for a gun fetishist looking to go out in a blast of glory?

Crooks was a disillusioned Trumper.

Yeah, fight for election security. I don’t see anyone inciting murder.

Who liked to contribute to Act Blue just like the latest democrat assassin.

 

[JimH52]

Oh yeah? What is the substantive difference between GOP violent rhetoric and DNC violent rhetoric. You need to clarify please.

Why?

Because the evidence is that this is the same for both.

'Rise in violent rhetoric': Lawmakers in both parties report spike in death threats - Roll Call

Two-thirds of lawmakers who responded to a CQ Roll Call survey reported experiencing death threats as America's politics grow more heated.

rollcall.com

". . CQ Roll Call asked every member of Congress whether they had received a death threat since 2020. Of the 147 who responded, 110 — or about 75 percent — said yes. While more Democrats replied to our inquiry than Republicans, 95 to 52, death threats were pervasive among both parties: 74 percent of Democrats said they had received one, compared with 77 percent of GOP respondents. . .

False Equivalence​

False Equivalence: Definition & Helpful Examples of False Equivalence Fallacy • 7ESL

What is false equivalence fallacy? When thinking about logical fallacies in the English language, there are many different types and this can be confusing

7esl.com

What Is False Equivalence Fallacy?​

"The false equivalence fallacy is one where the speaker or writer compares one thing to another to try to draw a logical conclusion, when in fact no such similarity exists meaning that no such conclusion can be drawn. To look at it in even more simple terms, you might say that ‘that is not equal to this’ in essence disproving a claim containing a false equivalence fallacy. In many cases, upon first hearing a false equivalence fallacy, one might automatically assume that the opposing arguments are in fact, logically equal but upon closer inspection, it becomes obvious that they are not.

This type of fallacy shows a cognitive bias in which ideas, situations, objects or events are compared to one another by the writer or speaker who claims that they are the same as each other when in reality there are many differences between the two. The differences within a false equivalence fallacy can be made up of anything such as quantity, appearance, and many others. It is very easy for this type of fallacy to make its way into the conversation and it quite often makes an appearance in the media. . . "

It all started with the trump organized J6.

Violent rhetoric is violent rhetoric.

Most folks know it is against the law to threaten the POTUS or senior staff, so you won't find it.

Either folks are too smart to do it, or it has been removed from public view when it happens.

No, that's a cop out, and you know it. "Fight for your rights", isn't a call for violence, it is a call to use any and all LEGAL means to keep your Rights.

and you know it.

You know? When leftists use straw-men fallacies against me, to tell me what, I think, feel or know?

It is at that point I know they are desperate and have lost the argument. Thanks!

It is a type of "mind-reading," fallacy. Not legit at all.

Mind projection fallacy - Wikipedia

Mindreading as a fallacy

I've seen this bad argument a number of times, but can't find a fallacy listed anywhere that really fits it. That is, claiming to know (with weak or no evidence) the thoughts/feelings/motivations of another person, and using them to support or show ...

www.logicallyfallacious.com

I'm always on the look out for argumentative fallacies to confirm to me, that person I am engaged with is out of arguments and suffering from cognitive biases.

One again, thanks for ending this discussion!

I can't tell you how many times folks have told me I am wrong b/c they, "KNOW," I am either MAGA or a socialist.

What a lark.
