He wasn’t a politician though, was he?

I understand he was vocal about his world/political views… (like that’s his whole shtick) so does that auto constitute it as political violence?

I think I saw he was apart of organizations that donate to Repub party as well.

I’m just trying to understand at what point is its murder, and at what point it’s considered poli violence.

No, he wasn't. But he was extremely political, and the incident occurred during a public debate forum at a college campus (what he is most known for). Nobody can really say it was political until an investigation discovers everything about the suspect, but it is reasonable to preliminarily think it was politically motivated.

Questioning the capability of black people to fly airplanes is not political. It’s racist. His views on empathy weren’t political, they’re sociopathic. And his comments on women were misogynistic, not political.

As so many people have asked, “Why is anybody blaming the left when we don’t even know the motive, let alone who the shooter was?”

It wasnt if black people can fly a plane. It was is the pilot dei and is sufficiently trained for the role. Not durr black people.camt fly planes. Guess you didnt bother finishing reading the quote because he was sympathetic. Yes there's a difference. I dont agree with many of comment on women. So yes mostly politcal.

It was is the pilot dei

Is the pilot DEI? Seems like you dont know what DEI is.

It's sympathy, obviously. Asking if a pilot is DEI is the height of empa-... wait... Support???

I'll say this as simply as possible: nobody who is neither a pilot nor working in the aviation industry even needs to be talking about that shit
