    According to Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, the alleged shooter “is a known person that may have some interest in certain things that I can’t reiterate right now with any confidence until the investigation is fully conducted.”

    What a bizarre and meaningless statement.

      Probably means he wrote a manifesto that can very easily and very directly tie his actions back to the feds pushing him into it.

      After speaking with the suspected shooter’s family members, police are operating under the theory that he was either sick or believed that he was sick and blamed the illness on the Covid-19 vaccine, a law enforcement official told CNN.

        Ya chuds will fight an actual war to make sure that vaccines are banned.

          The US has fucking both sided public health. Crazy.

          Imagine it’s late 2026 and the bird flu has mutated to allow person-to-person transmission. The US is facing a pandemic of what will be at best many million deaths. The republicans will - of course - have a messaging like “Pandemics are good because this culls the weak.” Meanwhile - the democrats will be creepy on the qt. In public they’ll make bland pronouncements about the importance of public health. But anybody with a brain will see the dems basic focus is in “winning” the situation and then benefiting in the 2028 elections.

            I think you’re spending too much time on bluesky comrade. It’s not just that the blue capitalists feign interest in public health for electoral gain, they are just as interested in forcing public health bureaucrats to issue recommendations favorable to the bosses regardless of the public health impact as the red capitalists.

          He was a chud who targeted the CDC because he blamed vaccines for his long covid symptoms, you’re “critically” supporting a fascist to own the libs. And honestly, that’s what has been wrong with the site for months, you’re all so obsessed with the Bidenists living rent free in your head that half of you are about to turn full Strasserite. This is disgusting, do some self crit asap you reactionary loser.

              The United States CDC is a sacred institution that must be protected at all costs! They are the undisputed guardians of public health and we must uniformly condemn any questioning of their authority. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to go get the RFK snake oil vaccine that cures “all viruses” because obeying the experts in the federal government is how we show we’re better than chuds. The totally nonpartisan experts may have said masking was good then bad then good again, but now they say it gives you the woke mind virus and social distancing leaves space for Hamas, so we should all just shut the fuck up and accept that science just changes sometimes.

              The person doing the shooting was a fascist who thought vaccines as a category are bad. You are mad at someone for not cheering for armed antivaxx insurrection. You are not owning the democrats here.

              I’m not gonna cry over dead cops, but the antivaxx shooter isn’t a hero fighting for the proletariat.

                Why do we have to endorse or denounce his actions or motives? In his stupidity, he clapped a cop. Don’t care what he believed, but this is a better outcome than most chud adventurists doing anything will have.
