Frankly, if you start from the premise that this was a "false flag" attack, it's easy to "prove" it. But all his assumptions are just that, assumptions and speculation. Face it, we don't know why this guy did this, but we do know it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment action; he took months to prepare for it. If the police fail to make a money connection between him and some unnamed "group", or no big sums of money show up linking him to to a "group", and all leads as to why he did this dead end, I'll start to consider a "false flag" operation. But not until all other leads fade out.
It does matter where you are.
In the United States of America violence comes from the Left. Always has, always will.
Heck, the Left even makes movies about killing the President when they are not, you know, killing the President.
The problem comes in when the authorities tasked with finding the truth for us, are the ones conspiring in an action against us. I'd like to think all sweetness and light about the FBI and all those, but there has been too much chicanery going on recently for me to trust them. The media have beclowned themselves into irrelevance; in fact, if you want to know the truth, listen to them and take the opposite; you'll have it.
Violence always from the Left?
I don't think the Left is claiming the KKK, or anti-civil rights violence in the 20th c. South. (They may have been DINOs, but hardly Leftists.) Actually I don't think anyone is claiming them.
Race riots in various northern cities?
How about anti-Union actions in the late 19th and early 20th century? Maybe the Pinkertons were lefties as well. I mean, they were cracking heads on behalf of the captains of industry, who were hardly even remotely socialist.
Political violence always comes from the Left.
We've had spates of anarachists/socialists/environmentalists committing acts of terrorism before and very recently.
We need to ensure that his committment to the Black Bloc is what motivated this. If so, you arrest the entire organization and put them in the Bureau of Prisons for a very long time.
Is that not the MO of terrorists? To target the innocent.
The anarchists, the SDS, the Weathermen, the Black Liberation Army, environmentalists, Leftists of various stripes, etc. all targeted the innocent.
From YOUR perspective, perhaps not from his.
We shall see.
Perhaps he is an anarchist, perhaps not. We shall see.
However, these things have happened before whether in affiliation with a group or attacking out of political goals of a group or political grudge (e.g. the Knoxville Church shootings).
I don't think the Left is claiming the KKK, or anti-civil rights violence in the 20th c. South. (They may have been DINOs, but hardly Leftists.)
Please spend 3 minutes here.
The KKK is the armed wing of which party? The party that fought to defend slavery or the party that fought to destroy slavery?
Anarchists have a long history of political violence. Some of us know what the red and black are up to and we know how much the love fighting the helpless.

Kirk,
It will never cease to astound me the convolutions the left will present to show that the KKK and Nazis are con c,ervative.
" if you go far enough ti the,right there they are" I am so far right I must be Nancy Pelosi.
You're suggesting the KKK was a wing of a party?
And where do anarchists fit in?
DINOs. And again, you ignore my point. To equate 19th c. Democrats to 20th-21st c. Leftists is below your usual excellent debate performance.Not suggestion. It is a historical fact.
The Klan started as the armed wing of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party aided and protected the Klan and the Klan worked to further the interests of the Democrats.
The Republican Party, not the Democrats, passed the Civil Rights Acts, the anti-Klan legislation, and the 14th Amendment all over the objections of the Democrats.
On the Left, Ralphie and the Wobblies, inter alia all were men of the Left.
Which side did the Red and Black (aka the anarchist-communism union) fight on during the Spanish Civil War, Mr. History Professor?

You seem to be able to spout half-truths, twist facts, and go to the extreme as much, if not more than some of the people you denounce.
No, I don't ignore I just point out that the Democrat Party has long associated itself with violence. From firing on Fort Sumter, to terrorizing Blacks and Republicans, to embracing the Weathermen and OWS.
