    Nobody has argued that it wasn't a hate crime. That's lame to argue that you are totally right just because you got the ONE part right that everyone agrees on. The guy is a white supremacist. There is a difference between nationalist and supremacist. I don't think any nationalists base their beliefs on race. I am a nationalist but color doesn't mean anything to me. It's a lame way for some lefttards to label a group that they disagree with in an extremely dishonest way.

    The guy also disavowed conservatives so you were wrong there also.
    "About his political ideology, Earnest wrote, “It’s called not wanting to go extinct.” He said, about being a conservative, “I am not a useless, spineless coward so no—I am not a conservative. Conservative is a misnomer. They conserve nothing. They’ll complain all they want but they won’t take up arms and threaten their government with death (the only thing that works). Ever heard about the Battle of Athens (1946)? Find your balls again you insufferable f*ggots. If you do not defend your rights you deserve none.”"

    I never said they did

    "sense they are calling it a hate crime and not terrorism, I am assuming it was another white nationalist"

    that was what I said

    One could say their anti-Semitic rhetoric motivated the shooter.

    per his tweet he said he supported Trump, when he saw it was hurting his cause, he pretended to change his mind

    you know tough, I do not really think Trump supporters would of cared, the kkk newspaper endorsed Trump and they still made him president

    He is attacking those conservatives that don't physically act on their beliefs but remain "useless spineless cowards". He has the same beliefs as conservatives but he will use violence for his cause

    Between your posts trying keep the collusion illusion alive and this... I thought at first it's just a vivid imagination but I think the problem is more serious.

    I don't like false premises. And the false premise in this case is that the shooter is Christian.
    I think the evidence is clear that his family went to church. He talks about "their church". But with Christianity that means nothing.

    Nonchristians can view Jesus as an important philosopher. Treat your neighbor as you want to be treated is a humanist tagline derived from Jesus.

    You aren't a Christian until you make a personal decision to believe Christ as the Son of God and accept Him as your savior. I don't see that.

    I can't say the same with Christians way back that shot abortion doctors and bombed their facilities. They were warped and misdirected. But I think to say this guy is Christian based on what he wrote is a falsehood.

    It is speculation at this point since we don't have much info on the shooter, John Earnest. First impression is an anarchist.

    Much to the chagrin of the anti-gun left.

    The loser had an AR-15, which apparently jammed. So thank goodness for that.

    Why do complete losers like AR-15's so much?

    The "good" gun was a professional. A security guard. Not sure what kind of gun he had, but I doubt it was an AR-15.

    No. The shooter was confronted by a veteran, blew his morale check, dropped the gun and ran.
    Said veteran chased the shooter to his truck, where an off-duty border patrol agent, given a firearm by a nearby civilian, moved in to support.
    You;re the expert- tell us.

    Where do you get the info that the border patrol agent/security guard got a gun from a civilian.

    “I had spoken to him in the past about coming to the synagogue armed because he’s trained, and I want trained security as much as possible,” Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein told CNN, speaking from a local hospital.

    You're not the expert on complete losers and their AR-15s?
