Terrorism Much?

So, some random right-wing terrorist took exception to a clothing store owner flying a pride flag, and shot her to death.

This is not just a foreseeable consequence of the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric employed by the American right, it is the intended consequence of that rhetoric.

This is the desired end point of the Talibaptists:

A business owner in California was shot and killed after a dispute over a LGBTQ+ Pride flag displayed outside her store, authorities said.

Officials from the San Bernardino county sheriff’s office said Laura Ann Carleton, 66, was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting on Friday night.

Officials said that during an initial altercation at Carleton’s clothing store, a male suspect “made several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton”. He then fled the scene.

Deputies were able to locate the suspect, who was armed, and he was shot dead after a confrontation with the officers. By Sunday, the man had not been identified.

Carleton, who preferred to be called “Lauri”, is survived by her husband and nine children in a blended family.
If law enforcement went after these rat-f%$#s with the enthusiasm that they went after pipeline activists, there would be thousands of them facing multi-decade bullsh%$ charges right now.

Of course, law enforcement isn't going after these terrorists because to a disturbing agree, they are, or agree with, these terrorists.
