MSNBC Suggests that Leftist Terrorists Who Are Writing Political Messages on Bullets Are Actually Being Influenced by Right-Wingers

CABRERA: “Are you worried about copycats?”
O’LEARY: “Yes. I don’t know if the rooftop trend is going to be a thing. I mean, it could just be coincidental that the best vantage point just happened to be elevated positions in this case. But, you know, people emulating this kind of attack is certainly a concern. The irony with the writing, the first time we really saw that was Brenton Tarrant in the Christchurch shootings — shooting — in a mosque in — in New Zealand, and he was a fierce, you know, white supremacist and — and neo-Nazi and wrote all over his weapon and his rounds very hateful information. So to see this coming from, you know, potentially the other side of the political spectrum is a little strange, because it is not something — you know, if you are trying to, you know, carry out some kind of message countering, you know, more extreme right-wing stuff, I don’t know why you would, you know, use a tactic that a famous white supremacist who has been revered and copycatted over the years by other white supremacists, why you would do that. But it does appear that people are moving in that direction because they want people to know what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. Again, terrorism is theater.”
CABRERA: “Right.”
O’LEARY: “They want people to understand their message and why they’re doing this and why — you know, in some cases it’s a narrow act of violence and it’s not supposed to be a mass murder, although it looks like it’s moving a little more in that direction.”
