DL fave Ben Collins “Buffalo Shooter had Toothache”

NBC reporter, DL fave (and possible homosexualist) Ben Collins is being cancelled on Twitter for writing a thread that the Buffalo shooter had a toothache and killed everyone to get free healthcare in prison to fix his teeth.

Ben is getting ROASTED in the comments.

Will someone go comfort him as he he wades through this shit?

NBC's agenda. National Healthcare (including dental) would prevent mass murders

Toward the end of his Discord archive, the Buffalo shooter was getting anxious. Initially he wanted to do the attack in March, but he kept pushing it back.

He wanted to do it soon, though, because he thought he would finally get help for his tooth from the healthcare in prison.

Lots of people, like OP, are missing the point of his tweet thread. The point is about DISINFORMATION.

It's NOT really a story about the toothache, it's just framed that way to tell a story from a different angle.

The shooter had problems, and BECAUSE OF DISINFORMATION he got online, he blamed the Jews for his problems.... one of those problems which kept being mentioned in the shooter's Discord "diary" is a toothache he couldn't alleviate because of lack of insurance and a (jewish) Dentist treating it unsuccessfully.

The problem with venues like twitter is CONTEXT can be lost very quickly or missed entirely by the reader. Just gotta keep it VERY simple on social media, people. Too many dumb and distracted people on those sites can't keep up with any form of nuance.

Ben really needed to equate the toothache/disinformation theory with the similar theory about Hitler and his mother's Jewish doctor. He alludes to it but never explicitly says it and people have misunderstood what he was intending.

I’m OP. I wasn’t saying what he said was right or wrong, or missed his point. I was saying he’s getting roasted (which he is) and someone with a generous mouth needed to go comfort him.
