I don't know that I would necessarily call his political views "right wing" based on that reading, but YMMV. *shrug*https://web.archive.org/web/20181027160 ... /a/cwB9QkRDidn't realize this guy's political views had been confirmed at this point...Quite a week for right-wing domestic terrorists...

There were 3,000 domestic bombings in the United States from 1968-1972.Two or three times older than most people here.How old are you?This is not the country I grew up in.

So yes, let’s normalize this. How many people were murdered in synagogues during that time?

I assume @DocEmrick is fine. He wouldn’t be anywhere near a synagogue.Are all 5AFers safe and accounted for?

The hate spewed by this shooter's social media footprint appears to go in pretty much all directions outward. He seems to just be an immensely spiteful person, as a general rule.

I originally had "white terrorists" and changed it. Would that have been better for you?

Are you making a list?

Lived in Squirrel Hill about a block from there for two years. Now I’m in Greenfield which is about 2 miles or so from SH. Hits really close to home but we were never in any danger today. Just really sad for the community.Are any 5AFers that we know of that live in the Squirrel Hill area and/or are Jewish?Are all 5AFers safe and accounted for?

Not sure who is oldest on here, but for better or worse, I have to be pretty close. And I will have to agree, for better or worse, not the same country I grew up in.Two or three times older than most people here.How old are you?This is not the country I grew up in.

Just heard the Public Safety Director say “it’s one of the worst crime scenes I’ve seen... and I’ve worked plane crashes.”
Jesus.
Shooter lived in Castle Shannon and owned a business in Bridgeville.

I am not typically pro death penalty but in this case I could be persuaded.

I'm 100% against the death penalty - in fact I think that issue is most responsible for landing me where I am, politically - but I would be 100% in favor of turning this guy over to survivors and letting the chips fall where they may.I am not typically pro death penalty but in this case I could be persuaded.

I'd rather just execute him on the spot.

Yeah, it's almost like the best thing would've been, you know, one of the arresting officers maybe sneezed as they approached the suspect and 'whoops'.

Also, to the extent this guy's worldview can be gleaned from his social media, it is "Trump isn't nearly Trumpy enough".

Yes, he basically thought Trump was a globalist Jew. It is honestly sickening, I simply cannot fathom the mindset to do something like this. It is depressing.
And seeing the immediate politicizing on both ends (including Trump) makes it even worse. It didn't start with Trump, but this country is irreparably damaged.

The sudden outpouring of support for Pittsburgh Police is interesting. Hope no one got whiplash.

Saw that all of the dead were adults. With a bris in the basement I was worried there would be dead children.
