Would you be asking these questions if Republicans were targeted?
False flag attacks have been common for centuries. Given any act of apparent political terrorism, journalists should always be asking: Why these targets? Why this timing? Who really benefits? Could this be yet another false flag? Not asking = incentivizing more false flags.

This is one of those ironic posts you mention in your profile! I get it. It makes it easy to dispense with the idea that your tweets are thought out and credible.... or DOES it? I am not good at irony, so will just say I think investigating is way more useful than speculating.pic.twitter.com/4t9Jisd4Hj

I wasn't speculating. Just pointing out a historical pattern and calling for full investigation with due skepticism about likely culprits. If you read anything else into my tweet, that's on you.

This is the promoting of conspiracy theory under the guise of open-mindedness. 1) False flag attacks are much more rare than overt attacks, so any Bayesian analysis has to start with that prior. 2) The voicers of this theory are largely partisans: https://twitter.com/jonswaine/status/1055175217641865216 …

It is most definitely true to say that we don't have any evidence yet, and obviously correct to wait for that evidence. Saying, "Hey you know what this could be? A leftist conspiracy" is NOT waiting for evidence. It's speculating against probability.

Oh so if these were false flags, that means they were incentivized because of previous lack of journalists asking if other things were false flags? LOL. So the actual point of a false flag is not incentive enough? LOL. I think this tweet is a false flag.
