It's still not definitively confirmed that the guy was a right winger, his family might have been MAGA but the guy himself could have very possibly been radicalized recently by the endless ragebait "anti-fascist" posts and did the deed as a result. It would explain the casings at the very least.
From what I've seen, the entire assumption that the guy was a rightoid comes from the fact that his family is MAGA and that's pretty much it.
He part of a neo nazi group who thought Kirk wasn't conservative enough. The group also had a beef with Kirk followers and himself. It was one right wing gang killing opposing member of another right wing gang. Kirk was killed in a gang hit.
So... Is there any chance this and the Colorado school shooting are connected? Strikes me as very odd that there is very little information being dropped on that one, except for the fact that the 16-year-old was radicalized by an online "white supremacist" group.
What if these were synchronized for a reason and both were groypers?
Also, why is there no wikipedia entry for that at all?
There is a connection, it's a sick symptom of this late stage capitalism hellhole with no hope. Perhaps you missed the previous 400+ school shooting deaths?
Interesting until they had caught the killer I had never heard of that group or that Nick Fetuses or however you spell his last name. Of course I don't go out of my way to see what neo nazi groups there are.
I've heard of Fetus no doubt. But not the term Groyper. It's like the next stage of radicalization after inceldom or something.
Loneliness is indeed an epidemic and these kids get caught up in such fucked up things in groups that prey on the instinct of seeking community.
The last 2 elections he did not vote. My guess is that he did not wanted to vote democrats but Trump was too extreme for him. But that's just my guess.
He was absolutely left-leaning, likely chronically online leftish and hated his family's politics.
I grew up in a deeply conservative environment, I was a bible-thumping conservative right up until I was around this person's age when I started having friends coming back from Iraq in bags and pieces. I never could have remotely imagined doing something so violent and radical, but I also know that when you're young, surrounded by people who seem disconnected from you, frustrated and you feel outnumbered, you can be influenced real easily to start feeling like you have some kind of power and "destiny" to make changes to the world.
edit: ya'll sheltered motherfuckers really want to write your own narrative around this, you're doing the exact same WWE theater spectacle the right is doing, back up a step and take a breath. You're not going to get the story you want. You have to deal with that.
He was a member of a far right hate group that thought Kirk wasn't extreme enough.
Source?
The dude was a groyper. Google it in conjunction with the killer's name.
Seems all these theories are being discounted right now, turns out "googling something next to a person's name" isn't necessarily the best source for truth. Funny that.
Leftists would have written a 20 page manifesto and would have not used those phrases on the bullet casings. I don't think an extreme leftist would have multiple homophobic jokes on bullet casings... Those engravings were words of a nihilist.
