Oh wait. She’s a vegan, Iranian, PETA, democrat, so doesn’t fit any liberal narrative other than using a gun. So to date, PETA has produced more mass shooters than the NRA. ---

**Projammer** seems to imagine that liberals think it’s ok if a liberal does the shooting, which is so insulting that the person in need of Pitting is he. Welcome to Projammer’s Pit thread everyone. He’s a tool who imagines that a person’s political leanings gives them a pass to execute other people when they get irritated. What a strange little world he lives in. He’s total asshat, by the way. Won’t even take his participation trophy. Also, **Projammer** , be a dear and fuck right off, you egregious waste of space. ---

> [@Projammer](#): > > Oh wait. She’s a vegan, Iranian, PETA, democrat, so doesn’t fit any liberal narrative other than using a gun. Yes, that is the liberal narrative. Being a vegan, an Iranian, a PETA member, or a democrat? Nothing wrong with that. Shooting people with a gun? That’s wrong. I guess the conservative narrative must be the opposite. ---

One can hardly blame the OP for suspecting hypocritical silence on the issue due to the shooter’s Democrat profile since we’ve seen an almost unlimited number of times when Democrat politicians and activists and functionaries are given a pass for things that conservatives and Republicans are excoriated for. However to address the query presented by the OP, the poor woman was clearly mentally ill, and generally people are given a pass from criticism for their actions whenever little doubt exists that they are genuinely troubled and aren’t capable of thinking straight. I feel sorry for her. Apart from her illness she had much going for her that many people would envy. She was attractive, devoted to healthy lifestyle practices, intelligent and entrepreneurial. If she hadn’t been so ill she could have lived a very good life. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > I didn’t realize we were pitting every single shooter now. Are we only including those who kill more than four American citizens in the USA using one or more guns, or do we also accept variations? I understand the pittee in this case didn’t even reach the body count for a mass murder. Do we stop at “one of the four wasn’t even a permanent resident yet”, or go all the way down to “threatening a foreign citizen with a knife on foreign soil”? If one of the deceased was a Dreamer, does that one count? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/24-hours-and-no-one-has-pitted-the-youtube-shooter/811848.md?page=2)
