Dayton shooting due to family breakdown, gay marriage, video games, state lawmaker says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

State Rep. Candice Keller, R-Middletown, said in a post to her Facebook page that blame for the Dayton shootings should be placed on the breakdown of the traditional family, gay marriage, violent video games, professional athletes who protest the American flag, recreational marijuana and “snowflakes, who can’t accept a duly-elected President.”

When reached by phone Sunday, Keller said she posted something to her private, personal Facebook page. When a reporter read the entire statement to her, Keller said it sounded like part of her posting but she couldn’t be sure if it had been altered.

The posting apparently has been removed, but screen grabs of the post were circulated on social media.

Keller said following mass shootings, there is a move to lay blame and attack the 2nd Amendment. “There needs to be a time for healing before we lash out at the Constitution and one another,” she said.

1. Yep, couldn't be due to hateful white wing Christians.

19. The fact that one of the Dayton shooters victims

was his own sister certainly plays a part in the story of this shooting. He may well have been motivated by racism to go after others, but what got the gun in his hands on that street at that time was some sort of family violence.

22. The Dayton shooter was kicked out of high school for threatening violence (to kill women)

So apparently the Dayton terrorist was a misogynistic asshole...hmmm, shocker.

A former classmate of his has posted this on Facebook:

So yeah I wonder how a guy marinating in toxic masculinity might get emboldened nowadays? Oh wait, yeah...I think I know.

[customerserviceguy]

25. Yes, he was a waste of oxygen

but this is family violence that ended up spreading to others who were simply innocent bystanders.

2. these people are so fucking trashy

[LuckyCharms]

3. And guns. She forgot guns.

4. Thank you, Obama and drag queens.

She is one of Ohio's dim bulbs.


From her web page http://www.votecandicekeller.com/issues/ gun jumper
Second Amendment

I hold memberships with the NRA, United States Conceal Carry Association, and Buckeye Firearms Association. I am a member committed to protecting the right to gun ownership. I come from a hunting family; I am a gun-owner and I carry concealed. I believe the right to individual gun ownership is a key constitutional right so important to our founders; it was placed in a prominent position in the Bill of Rights. I will always be a consistent and unwavering supporter of the 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms.

5. Transgender, black athletes who protest , and pot smokers are to blame for shooting

[jmowreader]

6. I take it she was dropped on her head as a child. Repeatedly.

The Dayton shooting was committed by a known Republican.

15. Looked much like he came from a loving family (though FB posts may not tell the story)

Though maybe his white daddy ran off on his nice white mom, granted.

Did he avail himself of recreational legal MJ in Ohio? Seems likely NOT. He play some video games? Given his age, probably.

Mostly I think it was his immersing himself in hateful rhetoric online (you know, pretty much the exact same shit you're spewing right now Congresswoman!), and the easy availability of guns.

7. She forgot the shooter

Candice Keller

[zackymilly]

9. She looks mad. nt

[mr_lebowski]

14. Sounds mad too (nt)

[smirkymonkey]

24. She looks nice.

What a fucking idiot!

[John Fante]

8. She deleted it.

Another reich-wing nitwit who doesn't understand that the internet never forgets.

[pbmus]

10. I still cannot understand how a person like this can get elected???

[Botany]

11. I still cannot understand how a person like this can get elected??? Fox News, Vodka, and Xanex

We have thousands of people in Ohio who know not the difference between reality
and right wing lies.

Did you know that Hillary Clinton had somebody killed to hide Bill's cocaine ring? Ohio knowledge.

[mr_lebowski]

13. I promise it's mostly the Fox ... I speak from experience ;) (nt)

[RKP5637]

12. So F'en stupid and lame. n/t

[salin]

16. Intentional deflection. And nonsensical. May the electoral winds send rep. Keller out of office.

[Zambero]

17. Projection 101

For starters, I seriously doubt that far right white nationalists such as the torch marchers in Charlottesville chanting "Jews won't replace us!" voted to elect Democrats. And as for the biggest sham of all -- video games don't kill people. Radicalized and hate-consumed individuals armed with easily-obtained assault weapons do kill people, in large numbers.

[Initech]

18. Blame everything but the guns. Got it.

[rockfordfile]

20. Who votes for a un-American pos like that?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. She will find a way to blame mental illness on Dems too, I suppose....

NEW DETAILS: Dayton shooter obsessed with killing, Bellbrook classmates say

(snips)

The man who killed nine people Sunday morning in Dayton’s Oregon District was once kicked out of Bellbrook High School for making a list of girls he wanted to kill, the Dayton Daily News learned in interviews with former classmates and school administrators.
+++
Chris Baker, the former Bellbrook High School principal who resigned this summer, confirmed to the Dayton Daily News that the shooter was suspended for causing a lockdown by writing a hit list on a bathroom wall.
+++
“This isn’t a mystery to me,” said one middle school classmate. “I’m furious.”

The classmate, who spoke to the newspaper on condition of anonymity, said the shooter once said he fantasized about tying her up and slitting her throat. The fetish was so macabre that even the shooter admitted he was scared of his thoughts, the woman recalled him saying.
+++
The newspaper also purchased a background check of the shooter’s social media history. Among the details that surfaced in the search were MySpace photographs of notebook sketches showing odd phrases handwritten in screamo music-style font. The posts appear to be about a decade old.

The sketches, confirmed by a friend of the shooter as authentic, featured nearly illegible writing with legible captions underneath, including “All Shall Be Annihilated,” “Bloodlust,” “Absolute Carnage,” and “Bloody Massacre.”

We live in a society in denial.........

This representative should be held accountable for lying to the public.

23. I'm sorry, but this woman is a real bitch

[LakeArenal]

26. Yes all those things are to blame.

Because the GOPoop exploit those and make them the fake enemies. Fills heads with hatred and inflamed sound bites. Then watch as Repugged idiots kill folks.
