Luke Thomas: Another alleged “leftist attack” on an ICE facility is dominating headlines, but does the evidence actually support that claim? Luke breaks down the limited facts we have, what remains unclear, and why rushing to call this purely “left violence” misses the deeper reality.

He explores the shooter’s reported online behavior, connections to 4chan and “edge lord” culture, and the broader issue of young men radicalized in chaotic online spaces. More importantly, Luke explains why audiences should remain skeptical when political leaders and law enforcement rush to frame events for partisan advantage.

This discussion isn’t about excusing violence. It’s about asking hard questions: Are we getting the full picture, or just the convenient narrative? Why is skepticism toward official claims so essential, especially when the stakes are high?
