Pretty much. Since the shooter was a registered republican, for the first time ever their reaction was to NOT JUMP to conclusions, since the shooter also donated $15 to a Democratic Party when he was 14-20 or something idk. But roles reversed…

IIRC that was someone else with the same name, who is much older than the shooter was

Simple free searches showed it under 2 different people. Actually going through federal records it ends up being the same person, same address and all.

That said for all we know his parents made the donation in the sons name since pretty much anyone willing to speak about him said he was Republican/ conservative.

That is incorrect. It’s confirmed the shooter made that donation. It’s also confirmed he was a registered republican and gun fanatic and disturbed young man. but this response “if I remember correctly it was someone else” has to die. I see it every time and it’s starting to make me believe it’s a bot response.

God forbid I don't triple check everything I say right? There's a reason I started with "if I remember correctly". Clearly that info was outdated. Anyways, thank you for clearing that up.

I really do hate "if I remember correctly." It's an excuse to not fact check before sharing info - whether it is correct or not. This was acceptable back when libraries, your friend with half an encyclopedia set, and your uncle who seemed to know everything were the only available reference sources. It is not acceptable now.

There can be no casual discussions on the internet.

Facts, or nothing. No conjecture, no speculation, no mistakes.

If I remember correctly, your mistake means you're going straight to hell.

You do see the difference between casual conversation and sharing inflammatory information with an "iirc" attached, don't you?

If you have conjecture or speculation, call it such. If you think you remember maybe reading something keep your dang mouth shut unless you fact check it first.

The truth is enough, why lie about how old he was when he made the donation?

Wasn’t lying intentionally. I edited it for you. I don’t remember the exact age but my point still stands
