| Jaicee said: So far, between the two mass shootings we've heard about over the weekend here in the U.S., we've heard much less about the Dayton, Ohio shooter, Connor Betts, because that one doesn't fit the narrative. It turns out that Betts was a member of a "pornogrind" metal band that released albums with titles like "6 Ways of Female Butchery", "Preteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter", "Live Snuff Porn Vol. 1", and "Tilt Bench for Gynecology or Total Rape". He had also twice been suspended from high school for hit lists he had made, including a "kill list" for boys and a "rape list" for girls. Here's the really fun part though: in addition to being a raging misogynist who appears to have been motivated to kill by hatred of women above all, he was ALSO a self-described anti-fascist online activist who railed against Nazis and, yes, gun violence! (i.e. He was an Antifa type, ideologically speaking.) Yerrrrrp!!! (Link) I guess I would mean to highlight here that these shootings, and particularly misogynistic attitudes, are hardly exclusive to the political right wing, as our media frankly has been portraying them. |
You're right, crazy people can be found everywhere and it is not surprising that something like Antifa also attracts many people who are only interested in violence but it doesn't seem like the Dayton shooter had a political motive for his actions, or at least not one that is associated with "the left", and that's probably the main reason why we hear less about this shooting.
