Contrary to expectations

It's never a good idea to prematurely make a call on the motivations of someone with murderous intent towards a politician, and it would seem that this is the case again with the guy who deliberately ran into independent MP Helen Haines yesterday.

However, given the aggressive, angry and demonising attitude that One Nation and wannabe MAGA Right wingnuts run towards Labor and migrants, and examples of "Cooker" violence towards police and authority in rural locations in particular, it is no surprise that people thought the perpetrator would probably be an Right wing inclined idiot/mentally disturbed person instead of a Left wing one.   But the latter seems to be the case?    

But before those on the reactionary Right get too carried away with "see it was the violent Left!" crowing, I note that even the wannabe MAGA's of the dire New Catallaxy blog first thought "cooker" too:

Dezi is Dezi Freeman, who shot two police officers.   And Cassie always sounds aggressively on the edge of a nervous breakdown over anyone who doesn't defend absolutely anything Israel does.  I think its telling that she thought "cooker" immediately, too...
