    Any speculation as to motive?

    Deep in the article they speculate that it might just have been a random thing done by someone deranged.

    Speculate...

    OTOH, that holds at least as much water as "Islamophobia" for which there is zero evidence.

    There was never a single shred of evidence that the men had been targeted. And the only basis for this claim that was ever cited was that two of the men were wearing ‘keffiyehs’ and speaking English and Arabic when they were shot. This entirely circumstantial information was amplified with feverish claims and rushed statements by elected officials, prosecutors and police.

    The reality that has emerged is that Eaton was mentally unstable, left-leaning, opposed to America and supportive of Islamic terrorists. He was neither Jewish nor pro-Israel.

    He had actually publicly stated his support for Hamas.

    Eaton could not have known that the three Muslim men were going to walk past the house where he was living and it’s implausible that he would have had the time to plan such an attack.

    The Muslim men were walking down the middle of a small narrow residential street with no street lights at night and Eaton would not have had enough time to realize the men passing by were Muslims, grab a gun, run out and shoot them. That’s even assuming that he had spent the whole evening by the window watching for incoming Muslims in an 87% white Vermont city.

    Most likely, Eaton, suffering from an episode, stumbled out and opened fire.

    Shooting four rounds at three men suggests this was not a planned mass shooting. He might have just as easily shot at anybody on the street or at nobody except the voices in his head. According to his mother and an ex-girlfriend, he had a history of violence and mental illness.

        Yeah, but they had bagels and lox for breakfast beforehand…

                His complaint about the Times doesn’t make any sense. They staged a large operation in Rafah as a diversion for the rescue. Of course it would have been horrible for those civilians involved.

                  I don’t think we can refer to these reactions as “Strange” anymore.

                  Jewish Event at UC Berkeley cancelled because of violent protestors. Even the administration is upset. Attendees had to be evacuated through an underground tunnel.

                            Lotta continued to shout while other demonstrators stood in place and held signs such as “Where’s Snyder’s moral outrage over US backed genocide in GAZA?” and “Hitler killed 6 million Jews and Stalin saved 1.6 million Jews.”

                                        Actually, what happened to Carrot Top is worse. He's quite aged now and still stuck doing the same old schtick, but in a bad wig.
