Dayton shooter appeared to tweet extreme left views and had an abiding interest in violence

A Twitter account that appears to belong to Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts retweeted extreme left-wing and anti-police posts, as well as tweets supporting Antifa...

The most recent tweet on the @iamthespookster account was on August 3, the day of the shooting, when he retweeted a post saying, "Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die."

The user's Twitter bio reads: "he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / I'm going to hell and I'm not coming back." One tweet used the hashtag #HailSatan.

Another person, who asked not to be named for privacy reasons, said some of the names on the hit list were female students who, like her, turned him down for dates.

She said Betts often simulated shooting other students and threatened to kill himself and others on several occasions.

"He loved to look at you and pretend to shoot with guns, guns with his hands,"

The ranks of Antifa are loaded with twisted creeps such as the Dayton shooter.

At least they acknowledge it. KTLA did too, to my surprise.

“”Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die.”

But they didn’t report on what he said about Bernie and Liawatha? Strange.......not.

Surprised that CNN went into detail about this leftist monster.

File under: stopped clock is right twice a day.

The left is ALL about violence. They want us to “tone it down” to silence us.

So this jackass murderer loads a weapon into the car, picks up his sister and some guy, goes downtown, everyone gets out of the car and ambles around, and then he goes back to the car for the weapon?

This isn’t a case of instantaneous rage.

This murdering jackass received positive reinforcement for his hideous words and actions.

He just wanted more positive reinforcement with these actions.

Wellll ... I'm not glued to TV, radio or my computer, but so far all I'VE heard is Dayton.

Last night someone sent me a vlog recording of a guy that clained he had an insider to the El Paso PD and that he was told 5 or 6 of the victims had their heads blown off by direct hit head shots with a high powered rifle and if that is true ..... it does not match the nerdy ivy league lookin' kid with the headset coming through the doors ... photo.

The direct hit head shots indicate a professional and very accurate shooter ... not a nerd

The vlogger said the kid didn't hold his rifle (AK47, we're told) correctly and in the vloggers' opinion, the kid knew nothing about guns.

He allegedly drove many miles to get to this particular WalMart and after killing 20 something people and wounding as many more, surrendered without a cop firing a single shot and "is co-operating completely

When I saw that photo, my first thought was, MKULTRA, because NO ONE planning on shooting up a store wants to protect his ears because he's probably gonn'a die by cop ..... so the headphone just might be continueing hypnosis
Sooooooo ....

Has anyone notice El Paso has disappeared ?

Hated second amendment they say, so what better way for a couple of Democrat weirdos to get people fired up, than to launch 1 allegedly racist one in the south and one random one with an AR-Pistol that way there’s further consideration on banning things.

Trump did dumb on the shoulder assist ban, wouldn’t surprise me one bit if AR Pistols are the next intended target to go along with the unconstitutional Red Flag laws.

Man do I hate the left.

So are the leftie reporters going to stick their microphones at the leftie politicians and demand they denounce antifa?
