There was always a likelihood that the attacker was a leftist loon, given the nature of the victim, but you were speaking with certainty from the off. Pick a likely candidate and you will have a high chance of being right, but it was never 100% certainty for those without knowledge at the moment of the original post.

Moreover, this is not exactly a new phenomenon in the USA. Radicalised idiots have attacked others before. Be it the Hortmans, the Israeli embassy staff and the Pelosis (I remember the sanctimonious right having a good chuckle at that one). The issue isn’t one of evil, godless atheist Marxists. The problem is that humans are tribal and recent events, combined with the toxic nature of the internet, has made people demonise those not of their tribe. The killer of Charlie Kirk seems to be one of those people, but he and those of his ideology are not alone. Vehement rightists, leftists, Islamists and more seem to use their certain position as being the flagbearers of right from wrong to attack others.

Society is becoming polarised now and it’s sad. We can argue about the magnitude of blame for any ‘side’, but many across the spectrum are playing into it. Yes, Deerey jumped the gun when his Mormon background came out. I think that was motivated by an irritation of your cast iron certainty at a time of uncertainty. Your posts here seem to be more about attacking others, to sow division, in the manner of many that has caused the tensions in society. The chaos and misery you regularly reference is being caused by this.
