I’ll take this opportunity to remind people that Tesla vehicles are surveillance devices, and that the cops have access to facial recognition software. Plan your life accordingly.

Thats crazy work. There was no motive determined bc he was just some psycho gambler with a gun obsession. Who does that sound like? A right winger.
Don’t ask me, go look at the FBI’s own statistics (if they still exist) on domestic terrorism and something insane like 90% of the violent offenses are committed by right wing terrorists. The murders, bombings, and assaults are all overwhelmingly right wing.
The conversation at hand is that terrorism is committed by conservatives who don’t care about the lives of people they don’t view as people. My bad, I forgot that one terrorist hadn’t written a manifesto.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not disagreeing with your general point that right-wing terrorism is ignored by the media. Just wanted to clarify that you said “every one of them had a manifesto” but the Vegas shooter did not. That said, a lot of the details of his life are things I associate with right-wingers: worked for Lockheed, owned rental properties, 2nd amendment, lots of cruises. Like you said, I would describe his motive as “disdain for other people/society” but for some reason that’s not considered terrorism.
Sorry for getting heated, I initially read it as nitpicking but scaled back my reply when I read it a few more times to fully understand what you were saying.
When I wrote the original comment I was just rattling off the most well known events and I honestly didn’t remember the Vegas shooter having not disclosed a motive or left clues.
At first it seemed like an attempt to derail the conversation but I went and doubled checked all the reporting to make sure I didn’t have it confused. You were right, and I got defensive. I didn’t want the heart of the message to get lost in the combing through of each individual culprits motive.
Either way, the dude was a piece of shit, and there’s 400 more open neonazis committing violence to pull from the database if we really want to make sure all our t’s are crossed and I’s dotted.
Thanks for the reply, and for understanding where I was coming from. I did not mean to come off condescending.
