Reminds me of all the conservatives trying to peddle the talking point nonsense last year about how only liberals are ever violent

Pretty much. The real takeaway is that political extremism is generally bad... that and police departments should bother investigating tips, especially when there are 19 phone calls or whatever it was.

At any rate, I'm not sure how much the shooter's ideology played into the attack since he seemed to be targeting everybody.

Turns out the topic title may not be accurate

Leader of an alt right group claimed he was a member but then changed his mind

When will people learn that the political views of mentally deranged people do not represent anything the collective group of members of which -they- claim to associate with. This has NOTHING to do with the alt-right, just like the crazy liberals who shoot up people don't represent all liberals. You can always make the argument against either side that "this is proof these people and their ideology is violent". Nut jobs like this kid have spanned across the political spectrum - so there for everyone has a case to shut you down and treat you as a despicable person for associating with whatever view you hold. Except, that's clearly ridiculous.

If they keep publicizing him I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he is yet another one of those guys who was upset that the world wasn't served to him on a silver platter - that sense of entitlement plus some mental illness seems to be the recipe for a mass shooter.

What annoys me the most is the foolishness of criticizing one side resulting in people insulting you like you're firmly on the other. The amount of people who see me bash SJWs or something then come at me with a bunch of anti-Trump stuff... I don't like him either, but have fun with that adult tantrum... It's like they don't have any real counterpoints to make, so they try to throw out a sick burn that has no actual relevance. They're just making reactionary assumptions.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/16/florida-shooting-white-nationalists-415672

Following misrepresentations by a white nationalist leader and coordinated efforts by internet trolls, numerous researchers and media outlets spread a seemingly false claim that the man charged with killing more than a dozen people at a Florida high school belonged to an extremist group.

Law enforcement agencies say they have no evidence so far to support this claim, and the rumor appears to have been perpetrated by white nationalist trolls themselves.


The ADL traced its original tip to posts on 4chan, where researchers found self-described ROF members claiming that Cruz was a brother-in-arms. But many of those posts seem to have been written specifically to deceive reporters and researchers.

I thought the ADL had some credibility until now... wow.

Given the event itself, this news is completely unsurprising.
