Yet Another Wingnut Blogosphere Fail: No Connection Between White House Shooter and OWS
Right wing blogs immediately tried to link the alleged White House shooter to Occupy Wall Street, but tonight authorities announced they have found no connection between Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez and the demonstrations.
Ortega-Hernandez, whose permanent place of residence is unclear, has a record of arrests on minor counts in Texas, Utah and Idaho, authorities said. They said they have not linked him to any radical organizations.
In trying to determine why he recently traveled to the nation’s capital from the western part of the country, investigators searched the Occupy D.C. campground near the White House but have found no connection between him and the Occupy protesters, according to three law enforcement officials familiar with the case.
One of the officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing, said the motive for the gunfire might have been simple anger: Ortega-Hernandez “hates the president, he hates Washington, he hates society,” the official said.
Chalk up another massive fail for the world’s largest right wing echo chamber.
