The shooter appears to be a blivit, an old military term that means a highly negative, but uncertain level of negativity. It assumes a huge level of shit, but the ultimate definition is decidedly unclear.

If I was looking for a definition of how to describe this guy tonight, given the dearth of information available, I would say say he was an American clone of Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turk who shot the pope in 1981 after murdering a journalist in 1979. He claimed that he was a lone wolf assassin and associated with the Grey Wolves. He was a freelance sociopath.

This has nothing to do with refugees, immigrants, or terrorists. That’s the salient point.

Yes, yes, I know it’s a pointless argument, in this cycle, but it must be said. This was a partisan, not terrorist, shooting. The nuance will be lost among the gaspers.

And good night, all. What a fucking brutal election cycle. A sweet and scaly dreamscape is my best wish for all of you.

Just hoping for some clarity when the debates begin. Sheesh.
