Current Events > Dayton shooter demonstrated misogyny more extreme than his political leanings.

(+) Yeah! (+)

But officials briefed on the investigation told ABC News the suspected shooter demonstrated a misogyny that was far more extreme than any of his political leanings.

In that, he follows a bleak pattern among mass shooters.

"There are red flags," Jacquelyn Campbell of the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and one of the leading domestic violence researchers in the nation told ABC News. "There are things about these shooters' behavior before these things happen that I think we as a country need to think hard about in terms of trying to make these things less frequently happen."

After many mass shootings, information comes out that links the shooter to gender-based and domestic violence -- and many massacres, like this one, include female family members, partners and ex-partners among the victims.

Ten of 2018's 20 mass shootings, as defined by ABC News, were instances of domestic violence, including against intimate partners or family members, a January ABC analysis showed. One of the victims of the Dayton shooting was Megan Betts, the alleged shooter's 22-year-old sister.

Despite this, his political leanings are still to blame because there's the fact that a lot of far left men have been outed as abusers or worse.

It says a lot about people when people are going 'hahaha your side has a shooter too take that'

Like fuck off. He could be politically sided with the fucking Easter Bunny. It doesn't matter. They need to be fucking stopped before they start.

I've said it before. A lot of these mass shooters had previously been in trouble because they had a history of domestic violence, oftentimes wherein they (the shooter) committed acts of violence against women.

I still say it had something to do with his sibling who was transgender. They had reportedly fought in public.

It mattered with the El Paso shooter though. The problem was people trying to point to the Dayton shooter as being the same but on the left and associating it with the left/antifa rather than looking at both shootings individually and seeing that they were different. One was politically motivated and this one wasn't.

Bad people had history of doing bad things? Are you taking credit for originating that idea?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply motivation doesn't matter. It does of course. If there's a strong common element then look into that.

I was talking about the people who treat it like it's a game when someone of the other side does somethng bad too. It's a mass murderer, not a friendly contest.

why does the media keep insisting the victim was a woman. He was a trans man.

His name was Jordan Cofer
