Milo clearly doesn't want to be seen as the guy who motivated or inspired a mass shooting of journalists. If there was no issue for Milo then why would he bother making a statement on the issue and trying to play the innocent. Milo is a hero to some. He openly seeks infamy. He says stuff that public figures aren't supposed to say and he's proud of it. But when something like this happens... it just further reinforces the fact that he is a nasty (and potentially dangerous) troll with nothing useful to add to public dialogue. Once again, wanna be a FSW? You gotta own the consequences of your words.
Well, clearly. The duplicity of his fanbase never ceases to astonish.

He is also a bit of a troll and a contrarian. Fortunately, being counter to most cultural narratives actually makes sense in this climate. But he is over the top and often say dumb shit for the sake of a stir up. It neither excuses him nor erases a lot of meritous positions.I don't get this all or nothing approach people have.X said y and t was not to my liking so therefore everything they have said done or thought is hprrible. Doesnt logically follow.

Doesnt logically follow.I'm sure that some of what you consider to be Milo's "meritorious positions" is just more dumb shit to me. And that's the problem. When you make a profession out of saying dumb shit, how can you expect your fanbase to know the difference?I'm sure that there are many things that Milo says that Milo intends to be dumb shit that some of his fan base think are really smart positions that they agree with.

Pappy, provide a link to what was actually said and I'll tell you whether I'm outraged or not.
