    The rise of right wing nationalism and terrorism is a global phenomena with firm roots in social media however Trump has NOT helped the situation by calling Mexicans rapists, calling countries shitholes,
    Oh! And there is this

    while I disagree with this, I wish there was more competition, youtube doesn't have to pay everyone that posts video's to their site, that is their choice, but sometimes like in your example, I think they are wrong, they still allow her to post and make money, just not via ad revenue

    maybe they need to allow advertisers the ability to choose groups of video's they want to advertise too - leave the choice in the hands of advertisers

    obviously some ads you do not want on some sites, like cigarettes or beer on a children's channel

    his manifesto makes it sound like he is a racist

    Trump's racist actions and messages of fear do not help matters any

    the shooter claims he was this way before Trump, and tells us not to blame Trump... if one believes the shooter - personally it sounded like he was trying to protect Trump

    I wish they would not take down these people facebooks and such after a shooting, people should be allowed to see them

    He was at least anti migrant. But if you believe he wss being truthful about being anti migrant you have to believe he was honest about Trump. You cannot pick and choose.

    you can most definitely pick and choose, his actions prove one, the other they do not

    Trump is a prolific liar, that doesn't mean he never tells the truth

    in his mind, it probably benefits his cause to protect trump

    manifesto's are filled with propaganda... not factual information

    Well seeing as how you don't know this criminal you are not qualified to determine what parts are honest and what are not.
    You are simple interpreting it the way you want because it fits your anti trump nsrrative.

    seeing as how you don't either, your not qualified to disagree with me then ;)

    just my opinions on these subject, take it or leave it

    it's possible he was this way before Trump, many racists were that way before they supported Trump

    how many days will it take Trump to denounce white nationalist, talk about a infestation of white nationalists, ect..

    if trump cared about this issue we would of had dozens of angry tweets

    That's why we wait for the investigation before coming to a conclusion.

    I don't know enough to agree or disagree. But i believe in innocent until proven guilty..
    So i have to assume that this had nothing to do with Trump

    Because theres no shortage of anti-Trumpers who think merely being pro-Trump is white supremacist. Without proof, its a hollow, meaningless label. No more relevant than calling someone a poopooface.

    Just BEING a Trumper is more than enough proof that the ONLY thing that matters to you is the promotion of White Supremacy. WS is the ONLY thing Trump has pushed consistently with very little variation from the beginning

    White people who support trump are generally just tired of always being blamed for everything. Most of them are far from being racist.

    This guy is neither right nor left. He's NUTS.

    And this is the first, foremost and major thing we have to do. Get guns away from crazy people. This BS that we have to protect the "rights" of nuts to simply cut us down is BULL and everyone knows it. We have rights to PROTECT our lives NOT the other way around

    Rriighhtt, you sound more like Trump yourself every day. "I'm not a racist, and you can believe me when I tell you because I'm the smartest man that's ever lived, didn't I just tell you that?
    Then prove me wrong, what ELSE has Trump said that he has pushed with the same consistency as his blatant racism?

    The shooter’s nonsense was posted on 8chan. He feared the media, “fake news”, would label him as a white supremacist-racist for his actions. It was self defense for the “invasion” of Hispanics according to him. You know, the people causing all of problems. He stated he couldn’t live with the notion of shooting a white or “American”.

    Just another damaged fellow citizen that had no clue he was a racist. His thoughts and feelings might have given him a clue with a little introspection but the nonsense in his head was only reinforced by same old suspects.

    Yes. The same nonsense spewed in this thread and on this board without shame. I suppose with enough reinforcement our brains are capable of rationalizing anything.

    As far as helping anyone reconcile this nonsense in their being is beyond me. There is way too much money to be made and power to retain in the cottage industry of screwing-up the hearts and minds of fellow Americans.

    Two-minutes of hate? Naive. With 25 years of “advancement” it’s evolved into a 24/7 cycle of hate.
