Didn't Spencer Cox even say that he is shattered that the shooter was "one of us" (read: white male) and not an immigrant? Like on TV, not in a cocaine-fueled xitter rant post.

Edit: Found it

What a pathetic excuse for an elected leader. Almost crying because the shooter was "one of them" and not their fake "enemy".

I will never be able to get over how this frightened, insecure 11 year old in an adult costume presents himself on camera:

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 22 points 3 weeks ago

he constantly on cocaine.

I don't understand why he's trying to spin it like people from Utah are exceptional people for not rioting and burning cars. The guy was a grifting YouTuber. It's not like the president died.

"That's just the spark son. The excuse we've been waiting for. America's wanted this war for years. "

They were going to make any attack on anyone an excuse for more violence on their part.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

The people who make it a regular habit to attack others because of who they are, yet also somehow have a persecution complex, find it pretty easy to assume that when one of their own gets attacked it's because of who they are too. It's like a damned street gang that's looking for a fight. "One of themmmm killed one of ussss, time to counter attack! To waaar!"

"... oh shit THAT bullet was from our side TOO? I think nobody noticed. Can we get this party started or what!?"

It's as gross as it is predictable. Their reactions to these shootings always follow the same rule: a member of the master race killing one of the subhumans is just an unfortunate fact of life, but one of the subhumans killing a member of the master race merits national if not global headlines that will at minimum be memorable trivia for people who lived through that year.

And I say this as an old white dude.

He absolutely said that and tried to make it seem like he was talking about him being an Utah citizen.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Wow, he actually said that shit

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think he also meant Mormon. IIRC the shooter's family is Mormon.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Mormons have historically been extremely racist. It was pretty recently that they stopped preaching that black people are black because god cursed them (the curse of Ham). They put on a smiling, demure front, and the church has tried very hard to rehabilitate their image, but the Mormon religion is pretty fucked up.
