It should, because I have little doubt that it is hatred that is motivated and inflamed by the course rhetoric on the left...some examples of which are right here in this thread. There is a subset of the left that owns characterizing their political opponents as fascists and Nazis, and it predates this election cycle. While we don't yet know specifically who did this and what their motivations were, if the perp is ever caught I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that he / she is a hard - core lefty.

I would not be surprised if he tuns out to be a Trumpbot.

You are correct in that we should not speculate who did this and why until we find out the truth. But left wing terrorism is very rare in the US now...most of the massacres are lone-wolf gunmen, Islamists inspired by what is going on in the Middle East, or anti-government types like Timothy McVeigh.

Interesting study.

The study, which covers the period between April 1, 2009, and Feb. 1, 2015, and includes violence from both the radical right and homegrown jihadists, finds that a domestic terrorist attack or foiled attack occurred, on average, every 34 days. It also shows that fully 74% of the more than 60 incidents examined were carried out, or planned, by a lone wolf, a single person operating entirely alone. A total of 90% of the incidents were the work of just one or two persons, the study found.

You just wait on the sidelines for such opportune moments.

Remember that there is an irrational dynamic at work in the Republican candidate's appeal.

Only in degree and, perhaps, significance. Let's see how this shakes out.
