Consider us surprised not surprised:
THE gunman accused of killing five people pledged "he would never go unarmed" as he posted several chilling red flags before his deadly rampage.
Cops identified Lyndon McLeod, 47, as the suspect following the spate of deadly shootings that hit Denver and Lakewood, Colorado on Monday. [snip]
He reportedly harbored extremist views and alt-right conspiracy theories online.
McLeod shared a Covid conspiracy meme on Twitter that appears to show Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft founder Bill Gates discussing an “injectable nanoworm”.
The conspiracy theory is completely baseless and studies have shown that the risk of severe illness from Covid-19 is reduced by 90 percent or more among people who are fully vaccinated.
Health officials have advised that the Omicron variant is more infectious and could lead to further breakthrough cases, yet the spread can be offset by all vaccinated Americans receiving a booster shot.
Last year, the suspected gunman ranted about emasculated men.
McLeod said: “Our entire society is made up of sh***y little f***s who insult badasses & get away with it because law enforcement & social norms protect the WEAK from the STRONG. I'm over it. The weak better buckle up... s**t is about to get real.”
At least three of the victims of this murderous "badass," avenger of "emasculated men," were women; all of his victims were unarmed. But, the moron used his penis compensator to end their lives... because they were "weak" and he was "strong." That was his motivation; no need to look further.
This is the same "mentality" exhibited by Trump's erstwhile Praetorian Guard, a.k.a., the incel- dominated, frightened collection of toxic masculinity misfits who call themselves Proud Boys. It's the same "mentality" as the COVID conspiracy kooks, convinced there are "nanoworms" in vaccines. There's enough overlap to see the common threads: paranoia, grievance, gun culture, a willingness to break norms and act out. Atomized, they're Lyndon McLeod, lone wolf killer; in a mob, they're the "Stop the Steal" insurrectionists that stormed the Capitol, assaulting police and our democracy.
"S**t is about to get real," indeed.
