Leftist Killers Revisited

ANOTHER ATTEMPT: WITH KIRKMERCH.

Kirkmerch - the phrase may have been coined right here on 21st Century Restoration Substack - is already popping up. “Getchur red-hot T-shirt, nccklace, pendant, poster, bumper-sticker.” You KNOW there will be tattoos. It’s the American Way.

While an honest attempt has been made to crib up a list of contemporary Leftist mass shooters or even bombers, that list has been surprisingly elusive.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer has not been added to the list as yet. First, since he is alive he has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Second, it is even less clear that he’s a “Leftist.” Time will tell.

These two “Leftist” shooters have been located to date:

James Thomas Hodgkinson, 66, fired at least 70 rounds from a 9mm pistol and an SKS 7.62mm rifle at Republican Congressmen, their staffers, and others practicing at Eugene Simpson StadiumPark in Alexandria, VA for the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. June 14, 2017. Five people were wounded during the attack, including the House Majority Whip and two U.S. Capitol Police special agents who were part of his security detail. No one killed. There seems to be little evidence he was anything but a rage-filled nutter who hated Republicans; no kind of ideological Lefist that I can discover … but definitely expressed a hatred of Republicans.

Aaron Alexis killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard in 2013. An acquaintance of his said in a CNN interview that the shooter was "more of a liberal type." That’s it. There were no other reports of his political affiliation.

There must be more, but these latter two were DIFFICULT to locate. It’s doubtful that there’s any sort of plot or anything. It MAY simply be that finding contemporary American Leftist shooters is damn difficult because there aren’t many.

If anyone can locate more, please submit names and info. HAPPY to list them.

ON THE OTHER HAND, the devoloping list of MAGAs and Right-wing shooters is getting large. A generous contributor on another social platform sent the following, to which I will apend the ones already listed in the previous post.
