        But what if he is, in fact, a trouble loner? Our political agendas and preferred narratives don't change reality.

        No. I would have felt better if they said, "he has exhibited behaviors and ideology that in some cases may be warning signs. @mmfa

        Yes, warning signs that he's probably a troubled loner. LOL When I hear "troubled loner," i start thinking of Mark Chapman

        I'm a little more annoyed Ms. Hackneyed herself is still writing things abt Trump and Clinton's golfing love.

        Sure..Such a head scratcher..So little coverage after the initial outrage,&concern for law enforcement. Doesn't this threat to them matter?

        I guess this is the media not wanting to offend Trump fans? (But they don't seem to have the same feelings about blacks.)

        @mmfa @nytimes If he was a Muslim it would be terrorism. I'd say a guy with a confederate flag intends to terrorize.
