Dude made Toussaint Louverture fan art, wrote a 1M+ word book, blocked by Dave Rubin and Jordan Peterson. I highly recommend reading this twitter thread, there's a bunch of things on here that I can't even wrap my head around.

      it was reported. but 5 dead, well... enough to get mentioned but not enough to dominate a full news cycle anymore

      that number has been slowly creeping up

      I found out about it because Eric Weinstein tweeted out that the shooter had DMed him (and that only law enforcement should read the tweet), lol.

      Even before the pandemic hit I remember there was a statistic one year where there had been 200+ shootings at a certain point and probably 3 of them picked up a news cycle

    very interesting that he went silent for 18 months after someone reported him to the FBI and then turns up to shoot people

    After a complete break on 16 June 2020, Lyndon McCleod aka Roman, beloved author and failed reply guy, disappeared for 18 months and the FBI definitely didn’t put him up to killing the people he wrote about in his book

          State-employed officers (including campus police, wildlife officers, revenue agents, and attorney general investigators) are excluded from the qualified immunity portion of SB217 (meaning the qualified immunity defense is still available to them). The state-employed officers were excluded primarily because of fiscal concerns – i.e. the potential hit to the state budget would be too great from the anticipated increased litigation.

          "pigs can't stop breaking the law so we need to allow them to continue doing so"

          god damn libs are so determined to load guns and point them at their own feet, jumping up and down while only holding the gun by the trigger. it's not their fault they keep shooting themselves in the foot, you see, it's just physics; nothing can possibly be done.

    Didn't Breivik post an absolutely gigantic manifesto too? I realize it's the least of their problems, but what's with fash mass murderers and their inability to know when to stop writing?

        Breivik copy and pasted most of the unabomber manifesto and later admitted he hadn’t read it and “just assumed’ it’d fit his narrative. it didnt.

    Why does fucking Colorado have a mass shooting every other month? We need to shut it all down until we can figure out what the hell is going on

      This seriously has to be answered, there's a trend here that can't simply be explained by perception. I visited Colorado over the summer...there's a dark energy about the place that I've never felt in the dilapidated, rundown Midwest. It's inexplicable. There seems to be a perpetual anger that people hide behind a thin veneer of tranquil spirit. Beautiful state but the people in the rich areas like Boulder and Golden give me the creeps. I dunno, maybe I'm making shit up.

        From what I've heard there are 2 cities with a bunch of liberal skiing enthusiasts from around the country, and then an entire state of brooding angry mountain people

          Even the brooding mountain people aren't quite as intense as the West Kansas/Nebraska contingent from east of the Front Range. Three years at a junior college and taking a job out in Sterling turned my friend's little brother from a shy and somewhat nerdy suburban kid who was broadly apolitical into a straight up white nationalist. I've got family on the Western Slope (aka the land of Boebert) who, while still being right wing trash, are nowhere near as rabid as the plainsfolk.

          We're at least three different regions shoved into one square state trenchcoat.

    Roman McCray’s novel Sanction is about a scientist named Boyd Sue who builds an AI robot to steal the election and become governor of Colorado so he can experimentally gene-edit the crime out of prisoners… but the AI has even bigger plans. Also his company is called Praxis.

    The novel was revealed to him by the voice of God as he stood on a black sand beach covered in obelisks in a dream. Prior to this McClay was an atheist fresh from his twelfth consecutive entrepreneurial business failure.

    It’s longer than all of Harry Potter and he shows up in it at some point and kills some of the people he actually killed in Denver

    :what-the-hell:

      Guy who killed 5 people on Monday in the Denver area in a massacre that he pretty much outlined in published books, using real people as characters.

      Why does it seem like all the psycho white male fash come form Colorado? What's going on there?

        what in the actual fuck. first contact with police, he "disables their car" in the shootout whatever that means

        second contact he gets away from them on foot(????)

        third contact he shoots the cop in the abdomen and then is shot dead

        were they even fucking trying?

        EDIT: also VERY interesting that the only cop who actually did anything effective was the one the shooter encountered on site already, not one summoned to respond to him

          Disabling a car is pretty easy if you hit dead center on the engine block. Especially modern fords that use aluminum blocks. a decent hit on just one cylinder can easily lock the whole car up.
