You must be in an area like SF or NYC. Or this is a luxury space.

My theory is that the fuckwad was involved in CSAM in some big way because his brother was arrested for it right around the same time as the shooting.

My guess is that the FBI has some reason not to tie them together yet.

Turns out the dude was likely involved with CSAM, as his brother was arrested for it almost immediately after the shooting.

From what I’ve seen, his brother was one of the only people still in touch with him during his last days.

It’s because of what you said: no motive. Crime like this is only sensational when the motive can be applied to some fictional stereotype of villain that could be stopped by new legislation or a war or whatever.

Also I think a big reason we don’t discuss this specific event is the caliber of rifle used. Contrary to popular belief, non “assault” weapons can do a shocking amount of damage in an environment where the targets can’t retaliate. See the Virginia Tech shooting.

Long story short: if it ain’t political and can’t be made political, people in the US won’t care for long.

I wonder if you have read/heard the things Rowling has actually said about trans issues.

I also find it ironic that you liken her to a chrisofachist, when in the early 00s she was basically crucified by those people.

I certainly don’t agree with everything she has said. But some of her points are genuine “maybe this is something that deserves conversation and contemplating”, which are immediately construed as transphobic or hateful by many people who haven’t personally read/heard what she said. People jump to screaming online instead of trying to refute her points.

Again, I do NOT agree with her on many, many things!
