Those same emails motivated someone to drive 300 miles to fire a gun in a pizza shop looking for a child sex ring in a basement that didn't exist.
How's that for bizarre?
- jimmydorry 5y agoYou are conflating leaks. There was a DNC leak and a Podesta personal email leak. The Podesta leak started the fire, so to speak, while the DNC leak was attributed to Russian meddling.
- pydry 5y agoI understand that there's a long American tradition on blaming shooting sprees on everything BUT easy access to guns, but hear me out: The fact somebody concocted an utterly absurd story from the leaks and used it to justify a killing spree demonstrates very clearly that the leaks themselves weren't at all necessary for the shooting spree. They could have concocted pizzagate out of something else. In fact, they probably would have. And the guy clearly wanted to shoot someone up and was looking for reasons. A large mass of swing voters can't be expected to behave as irrationally as one crazed Trump supporter with a gun.
