My snap take on the Dallas shootings: This was an attempt by righting racists, newly empowered by

Trump, to try to discredit Black Lives Matter.

It goes without saying that the right HATES Black Lives Matter.

1. At least one person involved is African-American

Specifically the woman they apprehended. I think that makes right wing racists a difficult proposition.

Best not guess on motives at this point.

2. I haven't heard any ethnicity of the shooters. I am wondering what happens if they are one those

right wing militia groups exercising their 2nd Amendment remedies. We know what will be said if it is some black guys.

3. How about waiting for the release of the suspect names?

Blaming right wingers or Muslims at this point is just going to make a lot of people look dumb later.

5. Sounds like your take is incorrect.

Based on the Police Chief's press conference.

9. He said the person was upset with the recent police shootings.

The shooter wanted to kill as many white people, as many white cops as possible.

15. Theory is not fact, my friend

I'll wait to see actual evidence of motive here. There are a range of obvious possibilities, but it does no good to seize on one before the facts are in.

23. That wouldn't have surprised me, but you're wrong

It wouldn't have surprised me at all, but chances are it was probably in retaliation for real and perceived grievances against cops.
