I'm sorry, which details? Why does his opinion about a handful of topics mean that we can infer his entire worldview? Why do we have to assume that his views mapped neatly onto one end of the US political spectrum or the other?

I think the problem no one on either side wants to admit is that these shooters rarely fall into either side. They’re mentally unstable people who are attracted to fringe crazy ideas, regardless of the political stripes.

Their behavior indicts all of us Americans.

But of course admitting that and doing something about it means working together, which is a much harder solution than pointing fingers at the other side and doing little else.
