  Go take a political litmus test of every gang member in the US and see how many are conservatives.

  Active shooters make a drop in the pale comparatively, they’re just the ones the media focuses on because it’s the narrative they prefer.

      They shoot each other in the name of societal wealth distribution, everyone knows that

      Politically Active? Since when was that the metric? We are just talking about political alignment.

        And why do you think they’re Dem?

        They likely don’t care about politics

    You really don’t see why the media would focus on a random mass killing instead of 2 scumbags shooting at each other over drugs? Weird.

      2? More like thousands. If guns are the problem, then guns are the problem. We don’t need to focus on specific gun crime when those crimes are once again a drop in the bucket.

      That’s why it’s weird.

        Guns are indeed the problem. As every other developed nation shows.

        Why people still claim the US is developed beats me, they belong in the same line as Brazil and Mexico (no offence Brazilians and Mexicans)

    Learn the difference between the concept of one who enables the crime, and one who commits the crime.

    If you’re having a hard time understanding how our law handles such a thing:

    Read up on a guy named Charles Manson. Then delete your dumb shit.

    No u.

    Here, I’ll give you a head start:

    University of Maryland Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice

    our analysis shows that right-wing actors are significantly more violent than left-wing actors
    the probability of a violent act of extremism in the United States being committed by a left-wing extremist was found to be 0.33, 0.61 by a right-wing extremist, and 0.62 by an Islamist extremist.

    You’ll notice that’s double the incidents from the right vs the left.

    Military Times, which no one could reasonably claim has any liberal bias

    But terrorism carried out by right-wing actors eclipsed that of leftist movements in the 1990s … Now, government agencies and scholars across the political spectrum agree that far-right movements have caused most of the political violence in the U.S. over the past few years – and present the most dangerous threat today.

    West Point Combating Terrorism Center – and again, West Point can hardly be called liberal

    Accelerationist ideology, conspiracy theories, disinformation, and far-right extremist narratives have played a key role in the prioritization of critical infrastructure as a target for the violent far-right. The intersections of these ideologies and narratives have led to complex attacks on power grids and the targeting of telecommunications systems by far-right extremists. The increased focus and attacks on critical infrastructure by far-right extremists has the potential to wreak extensive, multifaceted societal disruption and damage, impacting communications, the economy, mobility, and basic human necessities.

    Can you provide legitimate, unbiased sources for your claims? Because all the data says you’re being lied to.

      I live in LA def ain’t conservatives out here shooting it up. I can just go see if in real life stay to your online life

        Mhm. Your anecdotal ‘feels’ outweigh actual data, sounds about right(wing).

        How about you at least try to back up what you say with anything at all beyond ‘I believe it’s true’? Because nobody outside your bubble is going to take that seriously.

        I’m from a city roughly the size and makeup of LA, so you can keep your ‘online life’ comment to yourself.
