Wondering if he had an accomplice isn’t conspiracy theory. I’m positive they’re already looking into it. Really, I don’t know why it bothers you 🤔 Not that I care :man_shrugging:t2:

But that’s not what you said. You basically asserted the wrong guy got blowed up.
 
We know who got blown up. However, was he necessarily the mastermind? This whole saga seems rather ingenious for one 24 year old.
 
I think a lot of users on this forum generally struggle with the idea of white, right-wing terrorism.

If these explosions were carried out by a few young non-white Muslim guys claiming allegiance to the Islamic State, there wouldn’t be anyone trying to imply a conspiracy.
 
That is absolutely absurd. You cannot pronounce every question as conspiratorial or racial. That line of thinking is quite dangerous. One might say it borders on advocating censorship! No. I would still ask the same questions:
  • How was the explosive material procured?
  • What was the motive?
  • Who was aiding them?

I have no problem with people asking those questions, it just seems to me that a few people in this thread are trying to imply something more is going on rather than just clarifying some missing pieces. If there is anybody aiding him I imagine it will just be another disaffected white guy. Americans of all people should be used to senseless violence from disaffected young men by now. It’s become a staple of our modern society.

Also, as I said, nobody asks these questions when the perpetrators of the violence are young brown men.

Ridiculous comment. What do you think all the Trayvon Martin protesters were protesting about.
Have you heard of Black Lives Matter, perhaps?

Also nobody is defending this kid, just looking for motive. I expect the recorded confession will clear much up, when it is released.

You’ll have to explain the relevance of the Trayvon Martin case, sorry. I don’t see what point you’re trying to make.

I’m not claiming that anyone is defending him, at least not explicitly. They are, however, trying to look for explanations outside of this disaffected, right-wing white guy being the perpetrator of these crimes. Some users are worse offenders than others, such as the user bringing up the possibility of the police falsely accusing people. It’s just that nobody asks questions when brown Muslim men commit similar crimes, they just accept things as they are reported, on this forum and elsewhere (where are the conspiracy theories claiming ISIS-affiliated attacks are false flags?) What about the crime as it’s currently reported makes it so hard to believe?

I doubt the confession will clear up much honestly. When you look at why these disaffected killers commit these kinds of crime there is no clear explanation beyond vague disaffection and unhappiness with their lives. It’s why nobody can offer a real answer as to how to avoid mass shootings, and why the whole debate is bogged down in the issue of gun control which is hardly the central problem.

Who are they Regular_Atheist?

And WHY are you dragging “race” into this discussion?

God bless.

I think you are unconsciously playing the race card, which is silly.

Nobody here is defending or treating white perps any differently than non white ones.

It’s not even clear what his motivations were. My perception is he leaned to the right but didn’t seem to be an extremist in any fashion.
