US continues to go backward...

The gunman is LDS, a registered Republican, son of a sheriff, that posted pepe the frog memes and dressed up as one for halloween. Also had become " more political" as of late per family members and engraved "bella bella ciao" " catch this fascist" and "if you are reading this, you are gay" on the bullet casings.

I gotta say I didn't think think this would be his typology, but it yet again is not super coherent

It feels like he was trolling? I know someone earlier said speculation over his motives early in the investigation is gross but this raises a bunch of questions. If you gave me a description of him a week ago I would think he would have been one of the guys cheering Kirk on.

I wonder what the odds are that this was a false flag operation on his own part and he just got really unlucky and hit Kirk?

Yeah, it seems that there was a terminally online/trolling aspect to it. I don't think it was a false flag at this point, there has to be evidence of that.

I'm curious that now it is clear he is not a prototypical "leftist" and is fairly mixed with a decent amount of right coded attributes what happens with the national narrative. Will it go away relatively quickly? Or will people try to keep pinning it on their political enemies?

He confessed to his dad and his dad was the one who took him into custody after his family recognized him from the photos and confronted him ..his dad is a 27 yr sheriff dept veteran

People have already made up their minds. This is the left's fault, liberalism is a disease, etc.

The term is Groyper. I learned this phrase today.

Never let the facts get in the way of a political movement!

So in this view, Kirk wasn't far enough right? Yowza.

The false flag was speculation on my part. Im just trying to wrap my head around why some typical white conservative kid would shoot someone he normally would look up to as a hero.

I hope hes 100% honest with the cops. Also I wonder if the state will still seek the death penalty? It was easy to say when there were questions about who the shooter was but now that its someone the people screaming loudest about it will see as one of them?

I think you’re infusing logic into the equation.
This was a dipshit kid with more gun skill than common sense.

Its starting to look like this guy is a Nick Fuentes type. Charlie may have not been far enough right for him.

I honestly think that's trivializing the situation, and these things will keep happening until we address these issues. Was he "mentally ill"? Maybe, I'm not a Dr. Was he radicalized online? Sure seems so. Just like the shooter in Evergreen. Do a lot of these kids that are radicalized online seem to share the same values and beliefs. Sure seems so.

To continue to brush this off as only a mental health issue is disingenuous and dangerous, IMO.

This was an 17 year old giving $200 to a billionaire's presidential campaign.

This kid was cooked a while ago.

It looks like that was just one donation. He gave $424.48 total to the campaign per @Polds4OSU 's screen grab.

Yeah, that is wild.
