Got shot at a school, by a white kid for being not racist enough
Ah, the land of the free. Where you might get shot by a racist for not being racist OR shot by a super-racist for only being normal racist.
I mean, I'm not going to pretend to know everything, obviously a lot of it is media coverage etc... not enough is known, and hell there's the weird oddities that make me question the entire robinson narrative. (IE the assemble/dissassemble the rifle multiple times that don't make sense, the fact that the supposed exit wound looks more like an entry wound etc...), But assuming robinson is the shooter, with what we can see, it seems more likely he was against kirks hatred rather than feeling it didn't go far enough.
I will admit there's not enough to go on to get a picture, but with everything that is there, I don't really see anything there that points to robinson being a bigot.
We don't really know how he leaned. The left was told he was a gopher while the right was told he was a leftist.
I think the whole gopher (edit: groyper) thing was the CIA doing damage control to avoid an other Luigi situation.
Umm... you think the CIA planted evidence to paint him as a right-winger, to avoid blaming it on the left...?
Are you being sarcastic? What world do you live in?
What evidence though? All they did was tell the media which way to spin it. I don't know of anything that actually points to him being a groyper. His family said he was tired of Kirk spreading hate (his words) and he had a trans girlfriend. That doesn't scream groyper to me.
He was painted as the enemy to both sides btw, as a right-winger to us and as a lefty to conservatives.
I think it's to avoid copy cats maybe but also, I'm not entirely certain he did it. And if he didn't do it, then it's convenient to have him the villain so nobody looks too hard or pays much attention to the trial, compared to Luigi's trial for instance.
Basically, he is now part of the out group for everyone, and anyone bringing up inconsistencies is by extension also part of that out group and can be ignored.
I’m just going to sit and look at this for a while, then shake my head and walk away.
Hey now thinking doesn't work for everyone, at least they tried I guess. Try again tomorrow
I don't know of anything solid that points to him being a right winger. Most of it seems to be based on what his family believes and ignores the rest. Doesn't help that his social media presence was scrubbed.
True.
Not an American myself, so I have to add an extra opening here
Some kids shoot up their entire class or even younger classes
We don't ask their political stance there per sé, we can also just say they went nuts and picked an easy target
I think maybe this kid just picked a really good target, and maybe he was trying to find a new group by doing what he did. Maybe it was atoning for his parents and his own beliefs.
Lots of maybe, but again; he is just a killer in the end. Why make it political
