> Mr. Boelter developed a strong distrust of government, especially Democrats. According to Mr. Carlson, he believed that the criminal prosecutions of Donald J. Trump were politically motivated, and that a victory by the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, would lead to civil war. He followed the Infowars website founded by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Mmkay.

It's not so much a matter of who "knows better." There's an element of whether you trust a murderer, or are all the facts and evidence around their case, more.

Take a look at the next sentence from your linked article.

“I am pro-life personaly [sic] but it wasn’t those,” he said, using the jail’s internal messaging system. “I will just say there is a lot of information that will come out in future that people will look at and judge for themselves that goes back 24 months before the 14th. If the gov ever let’s [sic] it get out.”

You’re a fool if you think he is telling the truth.

I’d believe him if he said that before he’d lawyered up.

Now, looks like building a defense to me.

For every single conservative each mass shooting was done by a transgender illegal immigrant Democrat until thoroughly disproven through dozens of means. Then they will just ignore the "lone wolf" white male Christian and just expect everyone else to move on with them in thoughts and prayers. It's time to stop engaging with conservatives as if they were serious people worthy of serious replies.

> Federal prosecutors confirmed 45 Democrats were listed, including dozens of Minnesota lawmakers and members of Congress such as Rep. Angie Craig, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Sen. Tina Smith. It also included members of Planned Parenthood, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the organization, and several healthcare centers across the Midwest.

Whataboutism?

Nobody is whatabouting any of the violence. They are however pointing out that media isn’t an impartial observer, and that skews everyone’s perception of what is happening.

Anyway someone else responded with citations for the dem hit list, which backs up everything i said except “he voted for trump” which is impossible to know because we have secret ballots but he told his friend he voted for trump. (Citation: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/vanc...)

Now tell me honestly, if the guy who shot charlie kirk turns out to have no known political affiliations but a hit list of republican politicians and activists - you’d be saying it’s complicated?

> Please provide sources for all of your claims, I made sure to verify what I wrote before I wrote it.

And then provided none of those supposed “verifications” for what are probably very honorable and honest reasons.
