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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

While I can't say I feel bad, it is a little interesting that one of the more vocal opponents to Ukraine got shot while his country borders Ukraine and they're openly desperate now that the US is backing off
But based on his views and actions there are a lot of people who probably want to shoot him
It's going to be interesting if this has some kind of Ukraine connection instead of it being a domestic thing. I could see it really galvanising opposition to the war.
I'd think they wouldn't be that stupid, but so many of them can't help but have obviously fascist iconography in full camera view, so...
None of the articles mentions anything about the shooter.
They probably won't for a while, they typically don't (unless you're a black male in the US)
I'm purely speculating, since it really seems like western press has taken to simply labeling him pro-Russia
