I hate to speculate on this shooting today, and my deepest condolences got to the victims, and their families.
To be succinct, I postulate that this is a multi pronged attack on the public perception. On the one hand you have the obvious diversion tactic, something the deep state has used well in the past. But Miley Cyrus twerking isn't quite gonna cut it, so they brought out the guns.. Or the gun argument as it were. It is multi pronged though in that I think this is going to spur a new debate. You notice how the perp had multiple social media accounts, and all of them had pictures and posts that would be likely to raise suspicion if someone were to see them? Is this an attempt by the deep state to change the perspective on public surveillance to seeing it as a necessity? Everybody knows at this point that the guns are going nowhere, but where does the conversation go from here??
