I firmly agree with the part I bolded.Correlation doesn't equal causation, but you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not see the long list of "coincidences".
To clarify, I am NOT suggesting any criminal conspiracy within the left or deep state. I simply believe the left applies the heat and individual nutjobs "cook off". Once the train gets rolling, it's self-perpetuating. These people are looking for infamy and long-term repercussions against the world they despise and no longer feel a part of. The more damage they can do to our society, the better. This is convenient and actionable for the left to weaponize against our liberties.
Simply put, the two elements are sympathetic and have more impact together than separately.
I've seen a news story that researchers said mass killings with a lot of media coverage are often followed by copycat events in the following days or weeks, and I believe it.
I think the heavy news coverage encourages the nut jobs (emotionally disturbed persons, if you prefer) that commit these terrible acts.
