I've been seeing leftists radicalize themselves over this shooting across social media. They're claiming this as self-defense and re-affirming that they are the eternal victims. Even with the talking heads trying to de-escalate, it seems like it's being tuned out by the grunts.
That's exactly what's happening. This is because the far left is agitating far harder than the mainstream left has credibility. Not to mention, a lot of the mainstream left is well represented by the most extreme fringes. The most extreme people on the right are just random voices on the internet. The most extreme people on the left are literally teaching at university, broadcasting on both TV and the internet, and running Wikipedia.
