Denver shooting suspect wrote books describing similar attacks
Fictional self-published books written under a pen name also named some of Lyndon James McLeod’s real-life victims

"The late 47-year-old man accused of fatally shooting five people in the Denver area on Monday had written multiple books that described similar attacks, including the names of two victims in his real-life spree. Lyndon McLeod had self-published racist and misogynistic books in which he wrote about killing Michael Swinyard and Alicia Cardenas, The Denver Post reported on Wednesday. Both were shot to death.
In the first book that McLeod wrote, “The murders were like food in the belly, like wine at rest on the tongue,” the book reportedly reads. “Killing people nourished the soul.” A character named “Michael Swinyard” is killed at his residence on Williams Street by another character named “Lyndon McLeod.” Cardenas was also killed by the “Lyndon McLeod” character in one of the books, USA Today reported."
So at least 2 of the 5 people killed by this guy were named and characterized as being murdered in books he wrote previously..Does this mean he had been wanting to murder them since he wrote the book or were their murders just a coincidence....As a result of this, Amazon decided to launch a cancel culture campaign against the novelist by removing his books from their website....
These books received high critical claim among conservative circles, people like Glenn Beck and Jordan Peterson wrote glowing reviews about the book, as well as others...The book series was about a hero named Lyndon McLeod commits a mass shooting, killing six people. In that sequence, MacLeod the character wore tactical gear and murdered two tattoo artists -- and ironically, he was wearing tactical gear when he murdered 2 tattoo artists including 3 other people...as much as I would like to know how someone committing a mass murder could be seen as a hero -- it will be harder to find out if Amazon and others ban important books like these...
