Seriously, could Russia be behind

all these mass shootings?

We know they're buying off some repukes (who refuse to do anything), thru the NRA. And the NRA supposedly has ties to Russia.

Not much of a stretch to think they may be buying off some of the shooters too.

I know this sounds like tin-hat time, but these are crazy times.

Sure it is. Even if they offered 1 billion, no mass shooters ever get away with it. They are either killed or get life in prison.

Even the most unintelligent person would realize that only an elite SEAL or Green Beret would have even a 1% chance of getting away with it. They always say it on the news when they are captured or killed. Plus he wrote it on his social media.

11. Sure, but do suicide bombers do it for money or for the cause?
