The FBI previously said the Nov. 20 shooting may have been at least partly inspired by violent, racist ideology based on evidence collected.

It's always the same. There is a vast web of right wing extremists all linked together but we continue to treat them like lone gunmen. They're all linked. They're all reading the same books, on the same message boards, going to the same gun shows, etc...

Every year more and more lives are lost because we refuse to treat these people as the terrorists they are.

There was this "edgy" magazine I used to read that ran a letters from prison section from rightwing guys caught by the FBI before they did it. What I noticed about them is they always seemed to get on the radar by attending a meeting. Always shocked me because what are the odds the FBI doesn't routinely record and identify every single person showing up to those?

How about The Art of the Deal? We never hear if they found The Art of the Deal.

It's almost like reading Nazi propaganda makes you radicalized and want to kill minorities. Huh. America should do something about that.

It's impossible to control people's thoughts. There's unfortunately always going to be people like this who become radicalized to the point of insanity.

There must be something else special about the US, compared to most countries, why here so often these radicalized people grab their rifle, walk into a public place, and start shooting.

I can't quite figure it out.

Oh come on, it's not like they have easy access to guns, and no repercussions from violent hate-speech.

That would be a truly horrible combination of things, unless you enjoyed living like it was 300 years ago

Impossible to totally control, yes, but very possible to strongly influence. That's how radicalization happens in the first place.

No, they said it was impossible so that’s the end of it. Nothing we can do! /s

It’s not a guarantee, but it’s a really safe bet

Back on reddit I had tracked politically-motivated homicides (pretty close to all being right-wing) in a big write-up but I ran out of word count space and lost track of the sheer volume of shootings...

I'm guessing that won't be a point of interest on Fox "News."

Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses

This doesn't really apply to this article at all, as this person didn't "work forces"
