According to Reg, ALL gun violence in 2018 was committed by white supremacists. He also stated:
I have a hard time believing most things that pour forth from his mouth so it’s always best to fact-check him.
Dayton, Ohio Shooter
Connor Stephen Betts , a 24-year-old from Bellbrook, Ohio.
On Betts Twitter account, he described himself as anime fan and metalhead. He had posted tweets that opposed Donald Trump and supported antifa, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Socialism and Satan. Although most of his tweets were mundane and non political, he did tweet about ICE agents, including one that read, “these people are monsters,” and anti-police posts. In the hours before he opened fire on people in Dayton, he had “liked” a post in favor of gun control, and several about the 2019 El Paso shooting including a tweet that called the El Paso shooter a “terrorist,” and “white supremacist.”
He is a registered Democrat.
Patrick Wood Crusius, age 21, was arrested shortly after the shooting began and was charged with capital murder. Police believe that the suspect published a white nationalist manifesto on the website 8chan
immediately before the attack. The post cites inspiration from the Christchurch mosque shootings and refers to the white genocide conspiracy theory.

If course, this doesn’t prove anything since Reg said AMOST all shooters were “Trump nuts.”
It is a good indicator that Reg may, on occasion, twist the truth to fit his narrative.
Time and a few posts into the future we may find out.
You materially changed your post after I had replied to it. No class.
I posted about extremist killings, not ALL gun violence. In fact, some of those extremist killings did not even involve guns. You would have known that if you had read it.
I made no such claim about the Dayton shooter. None. He also doesn’t even count as extremist violence if his cause wasn’t extremism. I have no doubt you won’t understand that.
Your list of mass shootings confirms what I said. Of course, I doubt you read it before posting it.
I am not twisting the truth in any way. You, like Trump, appear not to know what truth even is. Truth to right wing nut jobs is whatever set of facts (or fictions) suits their current narrative.
Feel free to stop arguing the point with me anytime. I’m certainly not asking you to.
Michele, as much you want to frame this as an example of left wing extremism there is simply no evidence of that. No political agenda has yet been found.
Reg, I feel you are having a problem facing the truth. You can do that, you know. You won’t burst into flames for it. Although, you do seem to be drawn to fire.
Then show me some truth. Don’t just keep bleating this absurd story that the Dayton killer was a left wing extremist. Show us some evidence. Evidence does not include opinion pieces.
Powerful video, Reg. They should find a way to enlace it with education and mental health treatment. It wouldn’t bother me if Bernie Sanders promoted it as a free government service.
