1. They're full of it

[maxsolomon]

2. Get the counternarrative out there.

Every inconvenient fact must be contested.

[Kingofalldems]

3. Started posting on FB immediately.

Russians probably.

[Midnight Writer]

4. The Bannon Doctrine. "Flood the zone with bullshit." They know people won't research it.

[SergeStorms]

5. Yeah, he posed for pictures in 2020....

because he knew he was going to become a mass murderer July 4, 2022.

These Trumpanistas have pocket lint for brains.

[TheRealNorth]

6. That was predictable

I said in an earlier post that it was gonna happen.

[Baked Potato]

7. I won't be giving stocktwits any clicks just to read some crap. Nt

[Beachnutt]

8. You really should not, I posted it to

show how these assholes are trying to blame..

[Brenda]

11. I hear ya

Funny how some people post uh, weird sites.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. We sometimes post "weird sites" to show what the opposition is doing,

I've done it myself with Hide5 to show just what those lunatics are thinking, nothing wrong with knowing what your enemy is thinking/planning.

[Leith]

9. The reichwing tried to blame Jan 6 on Antifa, too

It didn't work. Crimo the turd put pictures of himself up on his own webpage posing with a chump flag wrapped around his shoulders and a couple at chump rallies. Nobody with living brain cells is fooled.

10. There's a big pipeline

between fascist finance stock bros & white supremacy.

25. welcome to DU

13. A friend's take on him

Also, his friends claim he was just a lost, confused young man.

[Yonnie3]

15. "just a lost, confused young man."

Yep, just a lost, confused young man. Whatever.

He was not confused enough to

not purchase ammo and weapons
forget to aim
not disguise himself

His confusion sure was debilitating

[Caliman73]

19. Lost and confused young men can be very dangerous.

Someone who lacks an identity, who feels powerless, and has anger inside them and no real connection to others, that is prime real estate for recruitment into extreme movements.

It is also fertile ground to become increasingly erratic and plan to "go out in a blaze of glory". To make some kind of mark.

The problem is complex and involves a lot of factors, including the ease with which people can purchase firearms and ammunition, the lack of connection, the lack of any integrated health/mental health care in this country. The celebration of the "individual" and the resulting alienation of people from family, community, and larger groups, has been a very important factor in facilitating violence. Make it easy for people who are suffering to get guns and that is your recipie for violence.

It has not escaped my notice that he used the anti-semitic frog in pictures and Highland Park has a large Jewish population...the two year old orphaned was Jewish. He is just another MAGA bigot.

"Robert E. Crimo III, whom police apprehended Monday evening and have described as both a “suspect” and “person of interest” in the shooting, showed up at Central Avenue Synagogue on the last day of Passover this year.

He stood out from the typical Chabad visitor.

Crimo was wearing all black clothes “in the goth style,” according to Blumenthal, including black gloves.

He was also wearing a knapsack, which Blumenthal, after going over to introduce himself, squeezed to check for weapons. He didn’t feel any.

“He said his name was Bobby and he lived in the neighborhood,” Blumenthal said, adding, “I watched him the whole time.”

After sitting in the sanctuary for about 45 minutes, Crimo, who is 21, left by bike, according to Blumenthal.

Rabbi Yosef Schanowitz Courtesy of Chabad.org
The Times of Israel Tuesday reported that the synagogue’s rabbi, Yosef Schanowitz, also said that Crimo had visited his synagogue during Passover."

22. Exactly, it looks like he took imagery from here and there because it looked "interesting"

From an artist type standpoint...

The middle is boring and as a rapper, well.....weird stuff gets clicks...

[Demsrule86]

29. He is a MAGA bigot. I posed above where he visited Jewish Synagogs...Highland Park has a

significant Jewish population. He also used the anti-semitic frog in pics...

[AntiFascist]

24. Sorry but I do believe there is a grand conspiracy...Crimo may not have been aware of it though...

...
Russia’s trolls and intelligence services prey on social outcasts in order to radicalize them and recruit them to wage war on their countries’ liberal institutions. To do this, the Kremlin reinforces their belief that liberal democracy is rotten and cultivates their restless anger and propensity toward violence. In addition to stoking anger and resentment, the Kremlin also uses covert financing to bankroll their destructive agenda. These efforts occur both in person, via martial-arts studios and motorcycle clubs, and in the virtual world of social media, where they are largely hidden from law enforcement and the general public.

26. Bullshit...he is a Trumper clear evidence online.

[Demsrule86]

27. I looked this up online...and there is no evidene this person even knew the vicious killer who

is Clearly MAGA. This is just BS to try to muddy the waters and take pressure off the right-wing. He dressed as a woman during the shooting IMHO in order to blame it on Trans and get away with it...and he is a fucking monster. I have no sympathy for him and believe he is a murderous right-wing scumbag. Enjoy your stay.

[llashram]

30. confused or not

lost or not he is a RW terrorist who murdered innocent human beings... R U trying to find a way to give the murderous creep a pass???

[llashram]

31. I say revoke

seems to be trying to give the murderous MAG-rat a pass

14. Who is stock twits?

[Beachnutt]

16. It's a stock chat message board

traders post messages about stocks but this board is trumps truth social board and a lot of Dems are giving them hell for lying.

[Beachnutt]

18. To show you what a normal stock chat is unlike trump truth social here is the board for

General Electric

[LeftInTX]

20. It looks like Digital World Acquisition Corp is somehow aligned with Trump

[Beachnutt]

21. It is, it's a special purpose aquisition company that will

merge with truth social, but the deal is under scrutiny by securities exchange commission and the feds as its another trump scam failure.
the trumptards lost their ass on it.

[LeftInTX]

23. No wonder that message board is a cesspool

[AntiFascist]

32. That must be why he hates commies...
