There are questions that must be pursued in the wake of the Brown University shootings. The most important is was this another political assassination? College Republican Vice President Ella Cook was one of the people killed by the as yet unknown shooter. FBI investigators have informed Ella Cook’s family that she was the primary target of the shooter.
So, the question is was a young, female, Christian conservative student gunned down in a targeted political assassination on the Brown University campus? The statements coming out of the investigation indicate that the shooter walked up to her and shot her in the face and then kept firing. When he was done, he then left which is outside the normal modus operandi of a school shooting.
Mark Halperin led a discussion on this.

Let’s keep in mind that Brown is an extreme leftist-oriented university with maybe 1% of the student population identifying as conservative. Does Brown have a hateful campus climate for conservatives? Did conservatives fear for their safety on campus?
Reports have now surfaced that Brown turned off their security cameras at the behest of some far-left organizations.
Local sources within law enforcement are confirming the university cowed to the concerns of civil rights groups, leading to the disabling of cameras. This is why there is no recorded CCTV footage, and the university is talking gibberish in their efforts to avoid admitting what has taken place. And this is why the only surveillance video that exists is coming from ring doorbell cameras and private businesses.
If this is true, is Brown now exposed to significant liability for failing to have basic security in place for their students? Would the shooter have known this and therefore felt emboldened to do what he did?
Is the Providence police department infested with DEI types whose only claim to the job they hold is the need to check a box? Competency seems to be lacking. Why has what the shooter supposedly shouted not been released to the public?
This shooting appears to be another in a long list of rising violence that has been encouraged by the Left. When Democrats call people who believe in our country’s founding values Nazis and refer to PDJT as Hitler, this makes it easier for some cognitively impaired person to believe they are doing good by ridding the world of such people.
If it turns out that Ella Cook was targeted for her political beliefs, the Democrats have more blood on their hands.
