@Frederick:
Eight days ago, this libtard Jeremy Joseph Christian did a dastardly act, and the story quickly got reported as being an example of a Trump supporter gone wild.. but shortly after, it was found that this guy was NOT a Trump supporter, but was actually a supporter of loopy Jill Stein and commie Bernie Sanders. Once that was discovered, the story about this attack got snuffed out and extinguished from the internet as if it never occurred. Typical!
"Jeremy Joseph Christian, the 35-year-old Portland white supremacist who murdered two men and left another critically wounded in a knife attack while yelling anti-Muslim slurs at two women on Friday, has been painted by the mainstream media as a “right-wing extremist,” but posts on his Facebook page indicate he was a supporter of socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
According to screen captures of his Facebook page obtained by Buzzfeed, Christian was not a Trump supporter, as many media outlets claimed, but was a supporter of the idea of a Sanders/Stein ticket."
You're suggesting that he was liberal, which is a little unclear, but it seems that he was not. He said he was "declared sane in federal court", there's pictures and video of him at Trump rallies, was "registered libertarian", was a "nihilist", and liked Bernie Sanders and Breitbart. To me, I would question the judges decision, as many of the things this person has suggested are rather conflicting. He was also strongly against Hillary Clinton. Pretty much the only thing that can be established from any of this, is that guy was a little bit "all over the place."
"Snuffed out": You can not delete anything off the internet, especially news. He was arraigned in court and it was reported by hundreds of media outlets. Do you expect the media to do daily updates or something? "Today Jeremy, who stabbed two men to death, sat in his cell and took a nap, while waiting for his trial" … Edit: I'm talking legitimate news, like APnews/Reuters, everything else is sensationalist infotainment - "stories about the news." The MSM takes stories from sources like the AP and 'produces a product', which is media in an 'entertaining format.' Then people go argue on the internet about it in the same way people argue about the outcome of WWE wrestling matches. Since I have incite into media production, I find it completely ridiculous, that people ingest this information, then show up rallies or protests to basically have "Batman vs Superman" wars. Batman wins, okay? Go home and do something productive ...
As far as evaluating his political alignment, any media outlet can cherry pick any citation they want: he showed up for trump rallies, was anti clinton, claimed to support a nonexistent sanders/stein 2017 (...?!?) ticket, claimed he was a registered libertarian, he was an antisemite, against circumcision, didn't seem to understand christianity, claimed he wasn't a fascist, was pro nazi, said he wasn't here for "anybody" at a trump rally after proclaiming that he was a "nihilist" (wikipedia: a person who believes life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles), and claimed he was the "dude who promoted shooting anyone who tries to disarm you" as if he was the first person to think of that or something.
No political stand is required: If he believes life is meaningless, great, then he should be completely fine with the death penalty. He murdered two people, I'm fine with it.
