I overheard two wingnuts in my office discussing the shooting. They concluded that the guy was crazy. It had nothing to do with the fact that he'd been mainlining hate for who knows how long.
Just plain crazy. Case dismissed.
1. The "victim" narrative (i.e., that the shooter was really the victim) isn't going to work;
2. Nobody on the right wants to face the logical result of the torrent of spew inundating the public. Notice that they will never take responsibility for their words. (This is also a problem on the far left, but the far left has so far not called for shipping reactionaries to Alaska and walling them in. Unless I've missed something.)
3. The mainstream news media people may still be trying to figure how to play it so that the right doesn't have to take responsibility for hate pumped 24/7 (high ratings and profit, don't you know), and distraction has been their principal weapon up to now.
(Because I keep seeing that name as "Chuck" Scarborough.)
