Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
They need to make him into a communist even if he wasn't. Too many reactionaries agree with this and it's making the bourgeoisie uncomfortable.
So he gets assigned that even if he wasn't. They use it to crack down on the left which is what they want and to make him out to be the right kind of public enemy though still a muddled one with a muddled definition of communist in the loose "Democrats are communists" kind of way that still gives enough cover to justify moving resources away from the right-wing extremists to surveilling the left instead and to pushing that narrative along with a bill through congress or executive order. If he was a raging swastika wearing Hitlerite and openly so online through weeks before the shooting they wouldn't be able to do this but would instead just bury it and call it a random act of violence without ideology but if it's at all muddled and there's even a chance of pushing this angle because of incoherence they were always going to and at the very least say he was poisoned by communist ideology into doing the deed.
