Everything Croton has received a number of comments attempting to link the Dayton shooter, Connor Betts, to President Trump. In our hyper politicized world, it's important to read first, react less, and then repeat....repeat...repeat...because apparently:
--Dayton shooter was apparently a self-professed ‘leftist,’ Warren & Sanders fan https://www.rt.com/usa/465790-dayton-shooter-leftist-antifa/
--Dayton shooter appeared to have leftist twiter feed, CNN https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/05/us/connor-betts-dayton-shooting-profile/index.html
--ASSOCIATED PRESS, The Latest: Apparent Twitter feed shows shooter was leftist https://www.apnews.com/bdcdc166ee814e069edda52bee6c460e
--NEWSWEEK: Twitter Account Linked to Connor Betts Suggests Dayton Shooter Was Democrat-Supporting Satanist: 'I Want Socialism, and I'll Not Wait for the Idiots' https://www.newsweek.com/connor-betts-twitter-dayton-shooting-socialist-satanist-1452719
In short, a little less passion--and perhaps some time spent in prayer, research and reflection--might be more in order before you hit your keyboard.

IN THE NEWS: FORWARD, THE DAYTON MURDERER IS PROOF WE NEED TO TAKE LEFT-WING VIOLENCE SERIOUSLY
Many thanks to writer Cathy Young.....FORWARD: JEWISH. FEARLESS. SINCE 1897--The Dayton Murderer Is Proof We Need To Take Left-Wing Violence Seriously
Amidst the disturbing trend of political conflict in the United States escalating into violence, it has been a staple of conventional wisdom that the real danger comes almost entirely from the far right. Thus, after journalist Andy Ngo was beaten up by activists from the militant left-wing “Antifascist” movement at a protest in late June, commentators such as Vox’s Zack Beauchamp cautioned against attempts to portray Antifa’s record of violent behavior as even remotely comparable to that of far-right extremists. Beauchamp quoted an Anti-Defamation League primer on Antifa which said, “To date, there have not been any known Antifa-related murders.”
But is that still true today? We don’t know if Connor Betts, the 24-year-old Ohio man who killed nine people (including his own sister) and wounded 27 more when he opened fire on a crowded street in Dayton on Sunday, had any involvement with Antifa. But Betts’s Twitter trail makes it clear that he was a hardcore leftist who embraced some fairly extreme ideas—and, in some cases, advocated violence toward political enemies in Antifa-style language.
