Edit: read og source, he's from Prescott in Yavapai county, lovely county but lots of that attitude there.
And the person who posted it is no better, apparently a state the size of AZ is one place, so no mention of WHERE in AZ this person is from.
For reference, one county in AZ, Cochise, is larger than the states of Rhode Island and Conn combined, but we're all the same and why let details get in the way.
Easier on s.media to elide over useful details for emotional impact.
Why does location matter? That county I mentioned, Cochise, is red ag country, while Coconino, where the Grand Canyon is, and the Navajo rez, is blue.
They're 6 hours drive apart at the borders and thousands of feet different in elevation, e.g. Coconino has skiing. Could it be that different people populate those places?
So some readers might like to know, for their safety, where that maniac is from, beyond vague handwaving.
If I ran an instance, I'd delete every one if these airheaded detail-free posts that are simply for angering rather than informing.
I think Lemmy can do better than Reddit, which also seems populated by posters who haven't been anywhere beyond mom's basement.
It would be great to see the 5 W's provided in every post here.
Forest for the trees, here. Oops, I'm sorry, the guy isn't 1600 miles away, maybe it's 1800 miles, maybe it's only 1500, but what it is is a whole fucking long way to go to kill people because you don't like what they look like.
This isn't about Arizonans, or whatever you call people who live in Arizona, it's about a guy who lives a long way from Atlanta who wants to kill black people enough to want to go that far to do it. It certainly isn't unique to that county, or that city in that county, and it is pretty fucked up.
But everyone knows that the Black citizens of Atlanta are voting for Trump. So are we sure he's a conservative terrorist or just another democrat per usual? Or would he by chance be trans? Apparently that group already stacking bodies across the U.S.
It's fine to spend your time prancing about in an alternate reality where you don't need evidence, facts, logic, etc. to believe whatever crazy shit makes your heart happy. If that's this completely made up story of trans people killing people across the US then you just go right ahead and spend as much time as you want in that made up fantasy world.
When shifting back into engaging in the top level reality that we're communicating in right now, it's important to context switch off your neo-Nazi/Russian/fascist propaganda machine so you don't sound like a fucking idiot.
Because you sound like a fucking idiot.
Edit: It's possible you're being sarcastic and it flew over my head because I missed it over the years of crazy right wing nazi's spouting the same shit that I don't know when I'm getting trolled here.
What else am I? Neo-Con, Trumpster? Cis-white-oppressive-man? Slave owner? The 1%?
Reality check, there's actually mentally ill people in this world.. and GASP! Some of them just happen to be trans. And.. GASP!!! Some of them, actually commit crimes, like murder.
Btw, he not only stabbed 4 girls... he killed his roommate and 2 dogs.
I'm not going to spend any more time on this. I will say, I hate how local news reports news stories when the minority is the suspect, tends to hide little details until said details are revealed by other means, like the fact that this man used female pronouns, wore makeup, dressed up like a woman etc..
No worries though, we will see more and more of these crimes and as per usual we will find out through other platforms rather than through the status quo machines.
US President Donald Trump's remarks about the rally [a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia “Unite the Right”] generated negative responses. In his initial statement following the rally, Trump condemned the "display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides." This first statement and his subsequent defenses of it, in which he also referred to "very fine people on both sides", were criticized as implying a moral equivalence between the white supremacist protesters and the counter-protesters."
It's not like that far fetched when you consider that ''bombingham'' Alabama was being hit by KKK terrorist attacks only one grandma ago.
Timothy McVey or however he spelled it, was also trying to spark a race war, had copies of pages from The Turner Diaries in the van, so if he died in the process people would get why. Thats only two thirds of a dad away.

No he wasn't. He suffered from PTSD from the Gulf war. He was convinced that Ruby ridge and Waco were examples of the government turning against the people and became radicalized. His.motive was to send a message to the people that they were living in what he perceived as a tyrannical fascist state causing them to rise up. Race wasn't a factor.
