So, Throttle, now 24 hours later, would you like to reconsider your thread title? Why should he? It's not yet established that the shooter was Right. In fact, the FBI is perplexed by the motive, at least in their public statements. The kid didn't talk politics to his classmates at school. He's a registered Republican that contributed to a radical Leftist cause. His parents are high-income, urban, social workers/physiologists. Mother is a registered Democrat by all accounts and father is either a registered Democrat or a Libertarian, depending on which source you go with. So far there's no manifesto, and no warning signs. And NO history of mental illness. He was obviously motivated, and he obviously planned it. It would take time to learn how to make explosive devices. His high-school classmates DID say he fit the profile of being a school shooter. Your unsolicited defense is noted. However, this much is obvious too: Throttle's title is, at best, biased, and may yet be incorrect, and that's looking past the "always" lie.
This much is also obvious: Not much yet has been established, now a day later, yet his title suggests he knows.
That's part of why.
Would you have used those words? If not, why not?
Be honest, and you will have the rest of the answer to your question.

Hopefully, the shooters parents retained counsel before speaking with the police or the FBI.
The FBI will be looking for someone to blame, and they'll bring a "lying to the FBI" charge if they find nothing else.
Remember what happened after the Atlanta Olympic bombing?
They tried to frame the guy who found the bomb.

I'll share one of my known " attention whore " tactics . Not that I would do anything in those regards. What you do is see what the standard format is on posts per page. Here it is set a 15 . Doesn't mean that is everyone's experience depending on their device and settings, but most people probably just leave it where it is or don't pay attention. So, you want to be # 16 , 31 ,46 etc. to get your post at the top where it is likely to get more attention.

But it does matter what his leanings are. Why? Why does it matter what the crazy fool thought? He was fucking crazy. It helps unserstand all the other crazy young fools are thinking. his actions were planned and not just off the cuff. why would a 20 yr old kid go and shoot at a political target? What was his intended reaction? Who fed these thoughts into his head, etc. why did ss and law enforcement allow him to shoot? tons of questions we’ll never know the true answers to. just calling him crazy doesnt work. i remember that guy who was sniping people from a van or car. Had a driver and hinged license plate.

I wonder if this is a good example of the rhetorical tone of the right today that BF considers without fault?

That you're sure of any of that is disturbing, Kemper, but there is much more on that type of stuff here, Bimini: www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/republican-mike-collins-accuses-biden-ordering-trump-shooting-1235059900/
It even quotes the founder of The Federalist (cough, cough):
Sean Davis, founder of the far-right publication The Federalist, suggested that “the Biden regime knew about this and either allowed it to happen… or made it happen.”
“They did it to Kennedy, and his brother, and they just tried to do it to Trump,” Davis added.
"Sadly unexpected" is my best description, but will his like-minded brethren come to his defense, decry the partisan misinformation, or remain silent on the matter?
We have and shall see.

Massive security failure. Any idea why? A conspiracy, I'm sure. Just don't know what it is yet. Any ideas?

A conspiracy, I'm sure. Just don't know what it is yet. Any ideas? Yes I have the right idea. I posted them earlier. Also, Pennsylvania is a high traffic area this time of year

Trump has dialed up his advocacy of violence so high, and it has so permeated the Republican Party so completely, that even he’s not safe from the crazies.

I’m looking forward to Trump giving a speech saying that violence is never acceptable in American politics.
