About as politically coherent as Luigi.
We've seen it in a lot of cases of stochastic terrorism. People end up attacking a symbol that causes them distress. It can be a post office, a school, a politician, or a gay nightclub.
The problem for conservatives now is that acceptable targets have changed to senior executives and conservative commentators. What used to either be an acceptable loss or a tool of fear is now a potential existential threat that they can't quite get back control of.
Yeah. Further evidence of that was Crooks would've been a school shooter but decided to do something better with his life.
As long as it ain't the school, we good.
Regime whores are actually part of the culture wars, so when they get wacked nobody cares.
It never made sense why we have so many school shootings at least from rational perspective.
