Pittsburgh Shooting: Twitter Posts from the suspected shooter Robert Bowers

By artappraiser on Sat, 10/27/2018 - 1:21pm |

This filmmaker is being retweeted by a lot of the reporters on Twitter as having copied most of the tweets by suspected Pittsburgh shooter Robert Bowers before they were "wiped"

Posts from the suspected Pittsburgh shooter Robert Bowers. He hated Trump and thought Trump was controlled by Jews. This monster is an unhinged anti-Semitic terrorist. pic.twitter.com/sjb2k6ucwb

There was a trained police officer who confronted the shooter. The officer was shot.

Trump is an idiot

Psst: I believe that was the point Ioffe was making with her tweet.

Heartbroken as #Pittsburgh native over terrorizing hate crime where I grew up. #SquirrelHill is a wonderful inclusive community that welcomes immigrants, all religions-it’s literally Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood (he lived near #TreeOfLife). This is an attack on our values as Americans https://t.co/g4oDZiJAXN

Addressing students at a supposedly non-political event, Trump attacks @SenWarren.

"Maybe Warren is gone. She may be gone. What a sad thing happened to her. Turned out I had more Indian blood in me than she has."

Crowd doesn't know how to react.

"We can't resist," Trump says. pic.twitter.com/zsPwiixtiN

Thanks for the tweets, Erdogran is looking better every day, Trump is a very sick cookie.

Bad hair day on the worst massacre and attack on Jews in a synagogue or anywhere as far as I know, in America in all of American history. We now have Trump Einsatzgruppen.

Just saw Lou Dobbs on Fox saying "the caravan (scary right wing bs) is working out very well for the Republicans".

No mention the shooter in Pittsburgh attacked the synagogue and killed 12 because "Jews were helping the immigrants in the cadavan."

This is a very sick country.

Jennifer Rubin blasting Fox, Dobbs, and Ingraham just a few minutes ago:

Putting Lou Dobbs and Laura Ingraham on air is hugely irresponsible and morally indefensible. Enough.
— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) October 28, 2018

(Also, should add that I've seen a lot of bashing of Dobbs on twitter the last day or so.)

Kristol on Dobbs and Fox:

This repulsive and dangerous filth is bring spewed courtesy of a publicly owned corporation. Will no one on the board, in management, or in a position of influence at Fox speak up? Will no one act? Or is Fox perfectly happy to give bigotry sanction and violence its assistance? https://t.co/XAWOBRdYFK

In other Kristol news, he seems to have finally had Trump acknowledge him as an enemy:

Trump's choosing today's rally as the one to name-check @BillKristol as an antagonist.

Lou Dobbs finally gets a very light spanking, blaming the guest on the show, but not Dobbs himself, no doubt due to advertisers and audience expressing displeasure:

New: Gary Schreier, senior vice president of programming for Fox Business, has just released a statement on this segment: “We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight. This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings.” https://t.co/p8al31ayYg

Did you see the umbrella video? lots of metaphor potential

by artappraiser on Sat, 10/27/2018 - 9:22pm

I know for a fact, an umbrella sucked into a jet intake will cause disintegration of the turbine, which will send the blades wheeling off at high speed into the wing fuel tanks, causing a huge fire ball engulfing the plane.

That's probably why no one went up to get it, they stayed back and hoped it would get sucked in.

The gunman’s weird “optics” post right before the shooting actually very much anticipated what’s happening now, which is that doing horrible stuff tends to bring the fury of mainstream institutions down upon on all your buddies and enablers.
