it was a sniper. It's on video. NSFW
Cash Patel, the incompetatnt FBI director, announced multiple times they had apprehended the shooter. One of the arrests was a random with a bb-gun.
Real shooter turned themselves in. Or at least their maga parents did.
Shooter wasn't trans, leftist, or politically motivated. He was part of a nihilistic online group that tldr wants to watch the world burn.
#4 isn't definite yet. There's a lot of contradictory evidence on that
This is why outsiders see the US politics as two cults. They're very very eager to frame any "bad guy" as the opposing team. They'll try to shoehorn it everywhere to make it stick. Conflicting evidence be damned.
While I agree we don't know everything yet, it's kind of infuriating to have one side -the side who has been responsible for what? 80% of political violence in the past decade,- immediately start calling for violence and retribution, while the other side says "you know, maybe the side spewing hateful rhetoric non-stop is partly responsible...."

All accounts of this guy indicate he wasn't political in real life. From his grandma to his friends at highschool.
Given his online activity, I'm more convinced by the theory that he was nihilistically lashing out than enacting a politically motivated plan.
jesus, say what you want about the tenants of national socialism...atleast it's an ethos...
Re point 3 - the version I read went like this:
Yeah, same person, I think.
To add the have a bad habit of juat rounding up anyone and saying they have an arrest before they are unable to get a grand jury to indict and having to quietly reclassify to a misdemeanor to save face. Just look what they are doing in DC.
jfc. tyler robinson is alleged to be the shooter. the fbi is mishandling the public presentation of allegations and supposed evidence to produce a narrative effectively biasing the entire public against robinson, mistrialing before he even gets a court date.
Evidence he was part of a group that wanted to watch the world burn? You mean the discord channel? Seems to be a largely apolitical gaming group.
#4 definitely sounds political. Sounds like it would align with Peter Thiel’s ideology perfectly and he’s running the GOP at the moment with all the other oligarchs.
#4 is an unfounded claim based on a misinterpretation of the markings on the bullet casings.
From the outside looking in, totally. The fundamental difference is the "after" phase.
I'm not familiar with Thiel's idealology but I'm certain that if he's advocating some sort of societal collapse, it's a means to build a different society that replaces the current one.
Groyper/blackpill is more nihilistic. They have no plans beyond accelerating societal demise for their twisted amusement.
Blackpill Aesthetics: A Crash Course in Meme Extremism
Thiel would 100% agree with and help blackpilleds because their goal would accelerate his own goal even if they don’t have the same ideology.
Exactly. Thiel has a goal beyond destroying the status quo. Blackpilled nihilists just enjoy the feeling of power and relevance they get from accelerating societal decline.
Blackpills are useful idiots.
I've heard it was ironically the trans roommate who turned him in. Is this not true anymore?
Are you being sarcastic?
I mean I heard the shooter saw a trans person on TV once. So...
Their ex/roommate is mtf
Sounds like everyone in his life knew before the rest of us. His mother and father recognized him from the fbi photos.
The mtf you reference was his girlfriend and he tipped her off via a piece of paper
Article also says he was using his granpdas unique rifle which his dad recognized.
