Conflict is what the shooter wanted.
Some are giving it to him. We need to stop.
It's troubling that we can't see something this obvious. But he's not the only one who WANTS conflict.
They're the problem, and we enable them by falling for it.

Republicans need to own this shooter
Right-wing radio host
Rush Limbaugh spread wild conspiracy theories about last week’s
mass shooting at two
New Zealand mosques.
Even though the gunman who
killed at least 50 and injured dozens of worshippers wrote a
white supremacist, anti-immigrant manifesto and mentioned Trump by name, Limbaugh on Friday cited what he called “an ongoing theory” that the killer is actually a leftist trying to “smear his political enemies.”
He said: The shooter says he’s not a conservative, not a Christian and that he identifies as an eco-fascist, which would make him a supporter of the Green New Deal and that he disagrees with Trump on politics.
Limbaugh didn’t go so far as to endorse the theory, but gave it plenty of airtime and told his listeners: “You can’t immediately
discount this. The left is this insane. They are this crazy.”
Limbaugh, who spent much of his show politicizing the shooting, also slammed “the left” for supposedly politicizing the shooting.
