Yet the Socialist Democratic Party wants to claim Trump is a racist. These shooters had issues and Trump had nothing to do with that.

Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts was
reportedly the lead singer of a misogynistic “pornogrind” metal band called
Menstrual Munchies — which released songs about rape, murder, necrophilia and
other gruesome acts against women.
“I feel s–tty having let him be in the band,
doing those lyrics,” said bandmate Jesse Creekbaum in an interview with VICE News.
“It’s like, Jesus Christ, how much of this was like real life for him?”
Betts, 24, slaughtered nine people on Sunday — including
his own sister — with an AR-style rifle before being killed by police. He also
managed to wound 27.
“I know, like, whereas I saw it as a joke —
like, ‘Let’s play this and we’ll shock some people,’ and then the people that
we know laugh — he didn’t see it as a joke,” Creekbaum said. “He was like,
‘F–k, yeah. We’re gonna do this.’”
Pornogrind, according to Creekbaum and others
in the music scene, is a subgenre of heavy metal similar to “goregrind” — but
with more sexual violence.
“It’s just the music we love, you know, like,
it’s fun to play. It’s energetic and there’s nothing else like it. So we play
it,” said Zach Walton, member of the pornogrind band Groin Mallet. “And then we
get people like this, who, you know, are f–king sick in the head, who get into
our scene and ended up killing nine people and almost, you know, putting a bad
name on our scene. And that’s not fair for the rest of us.”
Walton, 29, told VICE that he’s booked
Menstrual Munchies, a three-man group with Betts doing vocals, at the venue he
owns in Columbia, Missouri.

The band has released albums and songs with
extremely violent and sexually explicit titles, such as “6 Ways of Female
Butchery” and “Sexual Abuse Of A Teenage Corpse.” Creekbaum was trying his best
to scrub them from the internet on Monday.
“I took it all down. I’m trying to get
everyone I know to take all of it down,” he said. “I don’t want to be
associated with it. I don’t want it blowing up. I don’t want him romanticized.
I don’t want any of this romanticized. I want people to erase him from
history.”
The band’s pages were wiped from YouTube and
Facebook, though their songs and videos still remained on other websites and pages Monday. One clip, posted on the Troll Trax, showed Betts and
another bandmember performing outside in ski masks and dresses.
Other members of the metal scene were
denouncing Betts and distancing themselves from him on social media.
“OH TURNS OUT THE DAYTON SHOOTER WAS LITERALLY
CONNOR F–KING BETTS,” wrote the band Neckbeard Deathcamp in a since-deleted
tweet. “I DON’T KNOW IF I WOULD USE THE TERM LEFTIST TO DESIGNATE ONE OF THE
DUDES IN MENSTRUAL MUNCHIES. ANTIFASCIST SURE. BUT NOT GREAT WITH WOMEN.”
The band added, “JUST ANOTHER DIME A DOZEN
OHIO GRIND DUDE WHO CAPED PROGRESSIVE POLITICS WHILE TREATING WOMEN LIKE SHIT.”
Pornogrind rocker Ryan Ward asked the public
to not look down upon the industry or its fans.

“I feel it’s our responsibility to make it a point to let people know that, no, this is not what we actually stand for,” he told VICE. “Our songs aren’t prophecies, you know, like, they’re not f–king, ominous f–king messages that are supposed to come true. They’re just songs.”
Betts was described by his bandmate as a loner
who spoke about being depressed. Creekbaum confirmed reports of the alleged
“hit-lists” Betts made of classmates he wanted to rape, kill and skin — saying
the young man told him about them.
“I think he decided that he was going to kill
himself, and he was like, ‘I don’t have the balls to do it’ and he drew a gun,”
Creekbaum said.
People who went to high school with Betts said
he often spoke about his violent fantasies.
“He knew it wasn’t normal,” recalled one
student.
