I think the shooter will turn out to be a chud and here’s my reasoning… (hexbear.net)

So I believe it’s confirmed the shooter used a bolt action 30-06. That’s a straight up hunting rifle, and they clearly had lots of experience with it. Plenty of leftists shoot guns, but it’s exceedingly rare for a leftist to hunt imo, due to living in cities, not wanting to shoot other living beings, etc. Maybe there’s a rare hippy survivalist who does that kind of thing, but they’d probably be using a bow or something. This is in addition to him wearing chud sunglasses and an American flag shirt, assuming those photos really are of the shooter.

This is speculation of course, but it makes a lot of sense in my mind. Your thoughts?

EDIT: I believe the rifle found was something like this https://www.mauser.com/en/MAUSER-98-STD-Expert/80112511 Again, I find it very hard to believe a person would own and use this unless they were an avid deer hunter.

My reasoning for him most likely being a reactionary is that someone having major grievances with Charlie Kirk to the point of wanting to kill him sounds more like fash infighting than anything else. It's like if someone tried to murder BadEmpanada or Shaun. They're not famous enough for most fascists to be able to recognize like Hasan.

The fash infighting is Kirk playing defense for Trump's association with Epstein. If it's fash infighting, then the fash in question sees Kirk backing Trump as a betrayal to MAGA.
