They found an IED too

It is a pretty sad statement about how expected these things are that a thread about a mass shooting can go 15 hours without a response.

Apparently the guy had a long standing grudge with the newspaper over publicizing a guilty plea he made in 2011. He sued for defamation but it was thrown out in 2015 because it isn’t defamation if what is reported is true.

Having said that, the media is taking a different angle without showing any justification for doing so yet. Sure, they went where my head went when I first heard of the shooting, but my silent thoughts cannot harm anyone.

I’m not sure I can contribute anything that does not breach politics rule, so I just say praying for the victims, family and survivors, but also hoping we find a solution to the madness of gun violence in this country.

Guy had a personal issue with the paper, having filed a defamation suit against them over some reporting about his scummy behavior years ago

When you have a certain segment of the population pushing the belief that journalists are the enemies, this is going to happen.

Part of me is glad that this was a personal grudge and not motivated by sensationalist political rhetoric. As if there's anything to take solace in about yet another mass shooting in this country.
