"I am quite sure that Septic Tank Man's killer belonged to [GROUP I DON'T LIKE] that way I can sleep peacefully that my own ideology, rhetoric or emotional validation are safe and I don't have to feel anything concerning or unpleasant!" Said several people on each opposing side of the issue.

"It's soooo cruel that Septic Tank Man was killed by being drowned in a septic tank, only bad people could do that"

You really trying to both sides this?

Dumb and obtuse question. You would have to be terminal to not see how everyone in the world on every side of every political spectrum is trying to get attention by spewing wild speculation about the shooter, motivations, backgrounds, what online groups he belonged to, his friends, family and so on and on and on endlessly without a shred of actual verified information or evidence.

The way you wrote this implies that violence is perpetrated equally by both sides. That is factually incorrect.

No, that's misinterpretation to a degree I can only assume is deliberate.

I am talking about specifically the various theories and speculation woven by everyone. I cannot FATHOM where you would get the idea that I'm saying this kind of violence is "perpetrated by both sides" so I can only assume you're trolling or looking to fight another leftist over some imagined slight, you know, that thing that has kept us from uniting for decades or even centuries.
