This dude's political views aren't germane to anything. He killed some people that he knew, among others, and he was apparently a huge misogynist. He didn't tie his choice of target to anything to do with politics, or anything that's been said by any Democratic politicians. The El Paso shooter, on the other hand...

The El Paso shooter, on the other hand, builds a narrative ever so dear to you.  
One event fits your desired storyline; the other doesn't.  
I'll be kind and merely observe that you're not helping.

Are you listening to yourself?
No one wants a horrific event to take place to fit a "desired storyline" or "that would be so dear to" someone. What is facts in a story, is facts.
What evil are you spewing, right now? This is not Christian-like whatsoever.
What kind of hate in your heart would make you say such a thing?
Good Lord almighty!

Yup. Of course this happened. Right wing denizens like Grasr00ts and Fuzzy immediately seized on Betts left-leaning ideology so they can muddy the waters and lessen the evilness of white supremacy. "Well, I guess both sides are bad." "If Betts' ideology wasn't a factor in this shooting then neither was Crusius', so maybe white supremacy isn't a threat."

Guess what? Betts was also an extreme misogynist and had a kill list and a rape list of women. He was obsessed with violence and mass shootings. That's definitely pretty similar to many right wing shooters we've had so I'm not surprised the blue avatars haven't mentioned this.

And let's be real, there's a huge fundamental difference between Betts' pretty standard left-wing political leanings and Crusius' sociopolitical ideology. There's no "both sides". One is a set of beliefs on how the economy should be structured and such with little regard to racial or ethnic composition of a state, the other is an explicitly violent ideology that supporters happily admit is geared towards ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Of course rightwingers want to muddy the water, but it is pretty obvious that Betts' leftwing Bernie leaning political beliefs did not factor into him killing all those people. Crusius' did, his killings were predicated upon violent racial cleansing and violent intimidation of Latinx people. He literally wrote about it. Betts' killings came from the same violent psychology as Crusius' did, except it was divorced from political ideology. Except y'all righties can't stand that and refuse to understand that white supremacist terrorism doesn't have a counterpart in mainstream leftism.

Also, the body trail left by white supremacists across the Western world in just the 21st century alone would give any mythical far left murderer a tough competition.

Anyways, an investigation just revealed that his extreme misogyny was a psychological cause for the massacre, much like many male mass murderers, and not any of his political beliefs.
