Hello leaningright,
Really, what it is, is Tucker Carlson.
He tells people liberals are destroying America, gets them all angry at liberals, and by extension COVID protocols.
This guy has one bad day, tries to get a meal, gets told to wear a mask and loses it.
All of his frustration comes boiling over.
Of course it is not rational to think he could get a nice meal after stabbing the manager.
It was irrational.
It came out of anger and frustration.
And we can just take a wild guess where that comes from.
It's no mystery what is dividing America.
Right wing hate peddlers. That's what.
And a lot of that comes from Russia, too.
Everybody wondered what form the cyber war would take.
Well this is it.
Release hundreds of internet manipulators to spread hatred and set America into infighting.
Then you have somebody like Tucker Carlson who comes along and sees a big profit in whipping up ever more hatred.
After all. It's very provocative. Gets lots of attention. Bumps ratings up. Sells lots of advertising.
And this is the result.
Tucker Carlson worth $30 million. A guy stabs a restaurant manager of a mask. And no direct line can be drawn between the two in a legal sense.
Well, the line is not very hard to see.

I don’t watch Tucker. I remember seeing him on some show back in the day when I watched some of the political shows on various channels. He wore a bow tie. I cannot blame some idiot’s assault on hearing something on a political talk show though.
When I was in my early 20’s and into my 30’s I listened to Rush Limbaugh. I read his books. Somewhere in this house I have stored several copies of the Limbaugh Letter which I had subscribed to. I’m thinking Carlson can be no worse than Rush when it comes to stirring up “the right.” I’ll be the first to admit, Limbaugh in his early years validated what I was thinking when I watched CNN. No matter how much he stirred the angst of the right I never wanted to stab anybody.
At some point personal responsibility has to enter the picture. It’s like blaming Halo or Call of Duty for someone deciding to go out and shoot up a public place. So whether I agree with Tucker Carlson’s politics or not (and I really don’t know…he sounds like he is to the right of even me) I’m not blaming him for this idiot’s actions.

Halo or Call of Duty does not tell you lies and encourage you to be aggressive.
Hello leaningright,
That's such a rational view! I'm not surprised at all that you would say that. For most well adjusted people, if they watch Carlson, they might take a dim view of the left, but they are not going to resort to violence. Thankfully!
But this is only one guy. Who knows what else is going on in his life. Maybe he is a racist. Maybe his hatred spoiled any chance for a good relationship or a good functional family situation. Maybe he is bitter. Maybe he just got fired for refusing to get vaccinated. Who knows?
I threw my first impression out there. It's just a guess. I can't back it up with any evidence. I'm probably wrong. But that's my first thought about it.

Interesting this happened in March and they are just getting around to arresting the guy now.
And they knew who it was the whole time.

Part of the fault has to lie with Gov Abbott.
If he had simply kept a State-wide mask policy in place it would not place so much focus on individual restaurants which chose to have mask requirements.
Abbott said businesses should decide for themselves if they want to fight the pandemic. He's not going to do it on a Statewide level.
DUMB!
That places way too much pressure on business managers to be the mask police.
People are allowed to take their masks off while seated, but up at the counter they have to wear them?
I can see where frustrated hateful people are going to object to that.
Really, dining rooms should be shut down until the pandemic is over.

Is this gunos cracka brother?
Blacks have people who are unable to understand science and logic. They buy into right-wing hate, just like you do. This is about people who attack others who are just doing their jobs. There was a thread on the blacks doing it . This is an up-to-date case that just hit the courts. Can you understand why this has a thread now? Your bigotry is showing again.
