Connor Betts was named by police as the body armor-wearing, masked gunman who fatally shot at least 9 people, including his own sister, while wounding at least 27 more, in a popular bar and restaurant district in Dayton, Ohio.

On social media, the suspect’s biography started to emerge. On his Twitter page, reviewed by Heavy, he described himself as “he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / i’m going to hell and i’m not coming back.” He wrote on Twitter that he would happily vote for Democrat Elizabeth Warren, praised Satan, was upset about the 2016 presidential election results, and added, “I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding.” You can read a roundup of his tweets – which also dealt with Parkland, Florida and 9/11 – here and later in this article. Here’s his tweet on Donald Trump’s election victory:

So Connor Betts was a 'white supremacist Trump supporter, eh? Yeah,no. Betts was a self described socialist, Elizabeth Warren fan.
 
Did he ever post a manifesto or something?

Are there any tweets where he parrots Warren's positions or attitudes as motivations for his murderous actions?

I propose gun control, anyone wearing those glasses and that pattern shirt with any facial hair at all should be physically removed from any gun store.
 
There is currently confusion if the person being cited in these Twitter positngs is the actual guy.

There are different pictures of seemingly different people, with different spellings of the same name.
 
Gotta assign blame before rigor sets in.......

Warren does talk about killing big tech and taxing the hell out of the rich. Warren's positions are very hostile and aggressive towards people.
 
What's confusing to me is that his sister and her boyfriend were victims...strange...
 
I wonder if the family will have Conner and his sisters funeral together.If it was me I'd have them both cremated.
 
I honestly don’t give a **** about any of these animal’s politics. Anyone who can pick up a weapon with the intent of harming innocent people doesn’t need a political position to justify it. There is something seriously wrong with our society where so many of these people think shooting a bunch of people is somehow acceptable. It just seems that ever since Columbine these vermin have been coming out of the woodwork. At some point, the reasonable people need to set aside the politics and start looking at the root cause.

And the shooter quoted Warren about that? Expressed any animosity toward rich people, targeted rich people in any way, or maybe tech people? It sure looked to me like he targeted totally random people.

I'm with you there. It's just that some of these killers are also putting right wing screeds on the internet as justification for their actions. I have yet to see a left wing screed from a mass murderer. Despite TAAC's best efforts.

"self described socialist, Elizabeth Warren fan"

So in other words, the lamestream biased media is going to minimize those aspects of the facts.

So what else is new?

Anything that doesn't fit the lamestream biased media's leftist narrative is minimized and / or under reported. So what else is new?
 
Yay! One mass murderer yesterday for your side and one for our side!

Your guy took out more people. You win.

Connor Betts' Tweets-

“I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding.”

“@robportman hey rob. How much did they pay you to look the other way? 17 kids are dead. If not now, when?” That was the date of the mass shooting at a school in Parkland, Florida.

Betts' character -

Former high school classmates took to Twitter to describe Betts as a bully who liked to scare women. Former high school classmates described him as a misogynistic bully. “I went to high school with the shooter. He made a hit list of fellow students and was arrested. Somehow he was still able to legally purchase a gun, which he used to kill at least 9 people. Something needs to be done,” wrote one.
A woman named Aubrey Williams wrote, “He loved scaring people. He thought it was funny and got off on it. He scared my sister so bad once, I think he held her in his car against her will. She started crying and he laughed at her. He was sick.” Another wrote, “wasnt our responsibility!! We WERE just kids!! It should not be a kids job to sfop a killer!! People did report him!!”

His parents’ accounts are active. Their names are Moira and Steve Betts. On Facebook, his mom posted.... a graphic that declared “stop the alt right.”

You clearly can't say that he's an alt-right, white supremacist, or a Trump supporter.
 
Yeah, Warren is all about hate, intolerance, violence, and lies and corruption. Oops, no that's not right.

Unless they were a factor in his shootings: the El Paso guy for example went deliberately after Hispanics.

/confirmation bias error
/scrub Dayton shooting from memory
 
The only real trend is the age, sex, and nationality of the shooters. They tend to be young white dudes.

I wonder...is it the Irish in us?

While the Dayton shooter killed mostly black people (6/9), so maybe he was trying to kill blacks, and hit whites on accident? Idk, anything is possible.
