2. stochastic terrorism

trump and republican know that language is important. There are people out there who are mentally unstable and they often glom onto political discourse that feeds into their mental state. Yet, they purposely choose to use language that will incite violence and murder. They do it so often and have been shown the results of their violent usage time after time. So much so it is apparent that this cannot be taken as a "fluke," it is their desired result.

‘Off the rails’

In the weeks leading up to the shooting, Dabritz “had gone completely off the rails” as he sought to warn people of his theory that COVID-19 was spreading in the water and sewer systems, according to interviews conducted by the Review-Journal with his ex-wife, Haydee, and White Pine County locals. During that time, the locals said, the White Pine County Sheriff’s Office had been contacted at least three times about Dabritz.

The man’s paranoid quest eventually landed him at William Bee Ririe Hospital in Ely on a legal mental health hold, according to a hospital employee who spoke to the Review-Journal on the condition of anonymity, and he was transferred from the hospital around March 14. Court records show that he then spent a week at an undisclosed mental health facility in Clark County before he was released March 20, a week before the shooting.

His ex-wife also told the Review-Journal that he suffers from bipolar disorder and has a history of alcoholism.
