This is a only a question and nothing else!

How many wonder if this a political related shooting?

The reasons I asked this, 1) the shooter had many rifles with high powered shells, 2) he was perched in an area where he was able to get several shoots off , as if it was a military style attack, 3) it was at night and opened fire at a large crowd. There are too many consequences unlike other shootings?

But I mean, if we want to talk about white toxic masculinity being "political," sure, that would be a great conversation to have.

I don't know but it is obviously premeditated, given all the details of what he was doing in the room.

And, IMHO, it is perfectly OK to be asking these questions, especially because we have a fascist President (and a majority party who supports him) who would look for any excuse to advance a fascist agenda.

Country music fans and I would guess most under 30

I could be wrong but I think terminal illness or money related?

..or in both cases, were the politics a symptom of mental health issues? Honestly, I don't know the answer.
