Shooter’s motive

[Caveman Catfan]

Louisville bank mass shooter motivated by outrage over lax gun laws

Louisville mass shooter Connor Sturgeon, 25, who killed five co-workers and injured eight others said he purchased an AR-15 to try and get politicians to tighten up gun laws.

IMO it's a copout that it was to prove a point and make a change. He is a psychopath that wanted to murder people but make it look like it was for a good reason.

Thankfully someone has a free press.

It's funny blaming the NRA...they're in the red and really have no lobbying influence. Like they spend a couple million in a single election for a candidate these days. Compare that to tech, planned parenthood, etc just from a standpoint of total dollars.

About as funny as people on the internet (including day of) rushing to blame "the left" for social media likes. Now days rushing to find a motive simply means having the opportunity to blame millions of people who don't have the exact same views as you. I remember Twitter that morning. Some seemed more outraged over the fact that the shooter used "He/Him", ie pronouns, for one of his social media platforms instead of the actual mass shooting itself. Bonkers reaction, but not surprising.

This motive doesn't make much sense (and it's coming from a nut so go figure) simply because there isn't a mass shooting that's going to be "the one" that opens everyone's (including politicians) eyes to help enact change. This dipshit actually believed his morning of carnage would do that? With all the other mass shootings that occur? His was going to prove the ultimate point and we'd have him to thank for it, huh? Guy really thought highly of himself.

One thing this motive does prove is that people need to get off the internet occasionally and have some fun in life. Don't allow your personality to change because of politics or social issues. People act like politicians are the ones turning us against each other when it's us that's doing it.

Legislate this. He's a wild and CRAZY guy.

If these people are complete loners, it is easy to see how this happens.


If this guy had anyone in his life at all, they failed him and everyone else. Stop letting crazy people be crazy. Other people need to help stop these people.

Which is why this manifesto will be on the evening news around the country? Like the Nashville one?

They are getting laws passed against freedom of speech which are straight out of 1984 though. We are next.

Only if your a coward and think the Internet is anything other than hot piss.
