Rightwingers will be disappointed. Anything is possible but he doesn't look like someone shouting Allah akbar. Every single crime, they hold their breath hoping the perp is in a group that allows them to comment "Biden opened the borders"

(7,169 posts)His gait is pretty distinctive. And I don't think he bought that jacket for the occasion.
I think somebody knows who this is.

(4,514 posts)on notnews/max they are claiming it was the "left" targeting the young woman from Alabama, who was murdered. She was an active college Republican. They are pointing to blame and a motive with no evidence.
They did the same thing in the Kirk shooting, and they were wrong. It was a right winger who didn't think Kirk was rightwing enough.

Every single event in California generates
"You get what you vote for..."

(3,898 posts)but to deny that in our dysfunctional society some self-professed leftists/liberals also leap to conclusions to fit a narrative every time something bad happens is simply an act of willful ignorance. Social media is littered to hell and back with it... from both sides.
The desire to be right and to shape the narrative is ever-increasingly just human nature.

(10,051 posts)But since you did want to interject, tell us:
What percentage of our Democratic elected officials do you equate with Trump and his Republicans?
What percentage of DUers do you equate with the typical MAGA on social media?
I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no fucking comparison.

If don't see people of all political stripes jockeying on social media to shape the narrative when something bad happens, then you're living in a bubble. Which is your prerogative, but doesn't make you right.

(10,051 posts)Fortunately it's a lot easier to avoid your run-of-the-mill random crazy person on the internet, but it's not so easy when that person is the sitting president and his equally deranged political party that controls the entire federal government.
Once again, neither our elected Democratic officials nor DU as a whole are in any way comparable to them.
There is no """both sides""" here.
And if you think otherwise, that says more about you and who you choose to associate with than it does the overwhelming majority of sensible, reasonable, and SANE Democrats like myself and others.

(6,165 posts)would he have made tracks to the engineering building rather than some more crowded area? Could be a former student or a candidate who wasn't admitted to some program or to the faculty.
His gait is aggressive, somewhat flay-footed, and he seems in some of the videos to be waiting for some reason. He pauses with hands clasped behind his back and keeps looking back over a shoulder at other times. Seems as if he may be watching for a specific person.
The fact that he chose final exam time could also suggest he might've been targeting one or more specific individuals that he knew would be there at that time.
