From MG’s article:
Welker asked Cox how the suspect was radicalized.

“Clearly there was a lot of gaming going on,” Cox said. “Friends have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture, and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep.”
:roll: :lol:

This is just rehashed pearl clutching about a culture these boomer politicians know nothing about.

These are the same yahoos who claimed that the Grand Theft Auto video games were going to destroy the very fabric of civilized society. And before that it was claims that marijuana was causing people to go on violent killing sprees.

Take what this governor says with a GIGANTIC grain of salt.

Juvenile. I’m not MAGA. I’ve already said that I didn’t agree with everything Charlie Kirk said or did. And I think I sense a mocking/condescending/condemning view from you in regards to the fact that I join millions of other Christians around the world in proclaiming Christ’s Sonship and His majesty as Savior/Light of the World. Bigotry?

And a bit different twist on what has been coming out:

https://youtu.be/_-m2mUveCfU?si=zJ6ALNUzoYSeaqKL

The fact is, this troubled young adult made some drastic changes in his life that took him to the point where he felt the impulses to kill another human being. He had been a fine and outstanding student and then…crash.

What may have contributed to his sudden personality/character changes I’m sure will come out. From what we’ve heard he came from a conservative family who had raised him to be something other than what he became. If nothing else, we ought to pay attention to what might have ‘turned him’ and look at what might be done to decrease the chances of this happening again.

A lot of folks on the far left seem to blame guns almost exclusively. It might be worth considering the changes in society and culture that might play also an important part in what we’re seeing and try and do something about it.

Wang’s recent posts say MUCH more about him than they do me. I have to say, he’s got a weird thing going on in his head. I do hope he is OK?

Are you OK, Wang? What is the “H” for? And for that matter, why blaspheme the Lord? What is inside you that would drive you to do that?

Still lacking the courage to spit it out. What are you suggesting might have “turned him” MaGa 2.0?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

It's clear to me he's spinning this to score political points.

We don’t know the full story yet, IHQ. I have posted links to some news stories that give us information that might be worth considering and looking at. Let’s wait and find out what happens when more information is released tomorrow, shall we?

It is rather obvious that SOMETHING turned him away from the path he was on which seemed to be a healthy one.

He’s a Republican. Is that why? If he was a Democrat and said similar things to what he has said would you be saying this? Is your bias showing through?
