Will the left ignore this story or try to deify this monster?

Those are the only 2 possibilities. No other options exist for the left.

" Will the left ignore this story"

They shouldn't.

It's a great lesson on legally requiring guns and ammo to be locked up.

Care to come clean with your agenda, because MORALITY isn't a feature of it.

Zed,

What are you even talking about?

I just watched how the left reacted to Clancy murdering her 3 kids and how the left reacted to Luigi Mangione assassinating a man in cold blood. This person falls into the left's coveted protected "community" so based on recent history I stand by my original post of only 2 options for how the left will react to this

"Will the left ignore this story or try to deify this monster?"

Why would they?

FTA
"while they were out, he took his mother's gun and ammunition from her bedroom."

So the mom was so negligent she left a gun and ammo where her upset teenager (who she must have known was upset) could easily access it. And she paid for it with her life. How many times will we have to read tragic stories like this before gun owners learn to lock up their guns?

You would think gun owners (especially with kids) would learn that guns are deadly weapons and not playthings and should always be locked up when not needed.

And it sounds like in that household the knives should have been locked up too.

And it only took two posts for a third option to emerge.

Republican Math is a dangerous thing, kids!!!

Balldinger et al. read stuff like this, sees anything about trans, assigns a position to the left, comes here to complain about it.

"...sees anything about trans, assigns a position to the left"

That begs the question:

What would your response have been if the teen killed his mother because she disapproved of his girlfriend?

No you didn't. You just watched YOUR reaction

It's a mix reaction obviously.

Regarding Left-leaning sympathy

Surveys from organizations like CloudResearch found that only around 25% to 28% of self-identified liberals expressed "some" degree of sympathy or support for his actions. That's less than a third.

The folks who appear to support Luigi were from a mix of political backgrounds:

Healthcare System Critics
from both the left and right
Online "Fangirl" Factions and Admirers;
Both left and right
Conspiracy Theorists:
Left and right
Vigilante Sympathizers:
Both parties

As for the Clancy murders that one is extremely complicated and is not even over yet apparently as it was not resolved. And yes there was a clear political divide. But. I don't think they will retry it because I think that the issue of free will and mental illness is too complex to be resolved in any courthouse. As became obvious by the case ending in a mistrial.

This is the kind of story that rwingers dote on because they can't talk about Trump's Accomplishments.... you know, like his starting Forever Wars, gas prices, food prices... still illegally hiding the Files on his Best Buddy Pedo Ring King... so much more accomplishments for 'Murica!

All Trump/MAGA pontifications about moral behavior are sad and silly until they do what is in power now: smash the world wide pedophile ring.

I well know how timid you people are in the face of the rich. But I mean, and after all, how many blood vessels have you popped insisting that you would do this?

Sounds legit. The mom left the gun and ammo easily accessed by her mentally ill, confused, son/daughter teenager.
