This is what you wanted, conservatives. No sense in hiding the cheers you know you want to do. So come on now….

Let it out. Show us you’re not afraid to be called the racist pieces of shit that you are.

Otherwise- start openly standing against this shit for a change.
- This is what the pro gun movement has given us.
  
  More guns, more gun deaths.
  
  I hold the entire movement responsible.
  
  There is no body count high enough to change their minds.
  
  Self fulfilling prophecy, it's getting to the point where the high body count is the reason to always have a gun.
  
  It doesn't have to make sense if it feels good
  
  Why not put blame in the hands of pundits who spread the White Supremacist theories that grip these shooters? Why not at the hands of the forums that platform this radicalization? The TV networks that promote it? The gun manufacturers that are willing to profit off of our fears?
- Lol nobody wanted this. That's just the insane bigoted prejudice of the left
  
  The only people who want this are the most fascist politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene. and pundit Tucker Carlson. Stochastic terrorism is a very niche career! But I can excuse other American voters from reaponsibility for this shit, yeah.
  
  I didn’t say it was wanted- I said it’s not cared about if their right to fuck their guns is threatened.
- Hey how about getting off the soap box for a moment and acknowledging this heinous act without trying to score political points. Disgusting.
  
  What’s disgusting is the lack of support from the right to stop this from happening. The predictable silence from those that think a few dead children is worth the price for their rights.
  
  And political points? Are you serious? Seems more like a projection on your part than an accusation, as you’d need to know me before you made such a stupid assumption. And if you did- you would have made it.
  
  What politics?
  
  Conservatives say black people riot and cause problems for everyone. People do things in reaction to that. That's not politics, that's cause and effect.
  
  What the fuck is wrong with you? People die and you decided to defend those that did the shooting rather than the victims. Even if you are a troll there is something deeply wrong with you.
I grew up in Miami. The first rime I saw a confederate flag outside of a textbook was driving up to DC when we stopped to get food in Jacksonville. This was in the mid 90s.
- Guess you didn't stop in Orlando.
  
  Nopers. We took I-95 all the way up. However, when I was in middle school, I had a friend move from Miami to Orlando, and she had shared that there was a lot of racism there.
  
  Eh, I don't see it driving around Orlando.
  
  There is that fuckoff huge one flying in Tampa though.
hopefully the FBI can figure out what insane online groups this guy might have been a part of & whether he was a copycat shooter.
- Would be crazy if they said "yeah we found the online communities that are radicalising terrorists, and here's a list of subreddits / twitter handles / tv stations we're investigating for people who might have encouraged the shooter"
