Not too surprising. The dumbshits blamed Mark Violets who is not an actual person and said it was the work of antifa. There is an Italian soccer blogger named Marco Violi which somehow was confused for the shooter despite being in Rome. If you see someone claiming the shooter was a member of antifa, they are repeating this laughable conspiracy.

You can’t communicate reality to a person who actually thinks “antifa” has a membership list and regular meetings.

That's exactly what someone who didn't want to pay their monthly antifa membership fee would say.

I thought the meetings happened in the Possum Lodge.

This makes me wonder how we can spread a rumor that there are antifa recruitment meetings at the local VFW...

I mean... If he was, doesn't that make Trump a fascist? Or, if Trump is a fascist, doesn't that make the shooter antifa?

My dad thinks Antifa are fascists. The right is not using logic

The shooter is actually dead, but don’t let that stop them from harassing a trans person

Of-fucking-course.

Nothing ever happens in this country that they don't like unless a queer person is involved.

Someone took a potshot at the rapist buddy of Jeffrey Epstein's! It must be one of those horrible trans women!

Let’s be honest, these people aren’t using the word “woman.” They get off on misgendering. And like you said, everything that happens is just another excuse to point the finger and do it again.
