There is also lots of posts claiming that he converted to Islam and was recruited by Isis, and that they claim responsibility. As most people know, Isis claims responsibility for many attacks they played no part in to make themselves seemingly bigger and more powerful than they actually are. The chances this guy was an Islam convert and was acting on their behalf are probably one in a million at best.
If he really is a leftist, which I also highly doubt, it doesn't make him any less of a terrorist. He would be a disgrace and embarassment to our movement.
I am all for revolution - workers occupying their workplaces and seizure of the MOP, general strikes, resisting police, civil disobedience and solidarity and the transition of society into a socialist one through these means. I am NOT for murdering innocent concert goers en masse in name of anti-capitalism, if that is what he indeed did it for. It does seem odd though that a white guy in his mid 60's would target predominantly white people at a country concert. It isn't something any leftist would do, but not really something a white supremacist or similar reactionary would do either. I could be wrong though, given what happened in Charlottesville.
