This is reported only to support the narrative that the “lone gunman” was “depressed” ..

There's several "memes" at work here:
- He was a homegrown terrorist
- He was a loner (but he was reinforced by trips to Jordan and Qatar, and he was at a nearby mosque, and it was end of Ramadan)
- He was a "bad Muslim", not representative of the Muslim faith (because he was depressed, drank, did drugs, and besides Islam is a religion of peace)

I think these themes/memes come from the top--from the administration--to its pet media mouthpieces-- and get copied by the twittering parrots from there. I noted in other posts that even FOX was running as "new information" the problems this troubled lad was having. That struck me not as news, but as disinformation, as I was hearing it.
