    Didn't Spencer Cox even say that he is shattered that the shooter was "one of us" (read: white male) and not an immigrant? Like on TV, not in a cocaine-fueled xitter rant post.

    Edit: Found it

    What a pathetic excuse for an elected leader. Almost crying because the shooter was "one of them" and not their fake "enemy".

    The investigation is ongoing, but I want to make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this. We will find you. We will try you and we will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law. And I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah.

    We can return violence with violence, we can return hate with hate. And that's the problem with political violence, is it metastasizes. Because we can always point the finger at the other side. And at some point, we have to find an off ramp, or it's going to get much much worse.

    Incredible the difference a day can make.

    The second quote is from 13:20 in the video linked above me. https://youtu.be/WNWEwyPTh_M?t=800 if you're lazy.

    The first quote is from the same guy a day or two earlier, I found it transcribed in a fox news article and won't go looking for it again.

    I don't understand why he's trying to spin it like people from Utah are exceptional people for not rioting and burning cars. The guy was a grifting YouTuber. It's not like the president died.

    The people who make it a regular habit to attack others because of who they are, yet also somehow have a persecution complex, find it pretty easy to assume that when one of their own gets attacked it's because of who they are too. It's like a damned street gang that's looking for a fight. "One of themmmm killed one of ussss, time to counter attack! To waaar!"

    "... oh shit THAT bullet was from our side TOO? I think nobody noticed. Can we get this party started or what!?"

    It's as gross as it is predictable. Their reactions to these shootings always follow the same rule: a member of the master race killing one of the subhumans is just an unfortunate fact of life, but one of the subhumans killing a member of the master race merits national if not global headlines that will at minimum be memorable trivia for people who lived through that year.

    And I say this as an old white dude.

    I think he also meant Mormon. IIRC the shooter's family is Mormon.

    Mormons have historically been extremely racist. It was pretty recently that they stopped preaching that black people are black because god cursed them (the curse of Ham). They put on a smiling, demure front, and the church has tried very hard to rehabilitate their image, but the Mormon religion is pretty fucked up.

    Not cancelled, delayed. The screeches about this being a left wing plot going back decades haven't gotten rolling yet. The far right's civil war will be back on by suppertime.
