We need an archive link to this from this guy OR someone else verifying that this is true. I tried to find it, but couldn't. I'll give everyone a half an hour.

Besides some rumors and claims that he police officers would already have confirmed themselves by now, there is nothing to suggest he is. The closest I've seen are the claims that he was "deep Groyper signalling" with the bullet case inscriptions, but that's just grasping at straws.

I suspect his Discord gamer group may have been more involved in shaping his ideology, specially if he was giving details on how he towel wrapped his rifle there. Unfortunately, Discord nuked it and now we have to rely on the (in)competence of the Trump appointed authorities and their heavy political baggage.

The fact is that is you have a group that fetishizes guns and fetishizes using them and the tactical encounters with them using a "second amendment" "it's there to act against the oppressor" ideology, you are going to get shooters. Why obsess about what the spark or the trigger was? The Groypers are basically The Army of the 12 Monkeys in this scenario.

No matter how holy you are there is always someone holier than thou. They should implicate Lauro Loomer for encouraging this assassination since she was one of the people who said Charlie wasn't republican enough lol.

Where are the actual sources of this information? Are there police interview transcripts available somewhere? Are there reports about a transcript from reputable sources? So far all I've seen is wild speculation by untrusted sources.

As of now, all I actually know about this guy is that he shot charlie kirk.

So is the right entering a civil war with the right, as prophecized ?

r/conservative is really trying to paint him as a transperson associate.

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

'Associate' is certainly one of the words. Though I'm pretty sure that he would want to stay as far away from us as he could.

I'm embarassed to ask how I am supposed to pronounce "groyper."

[–] PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

"groy" rhymes with "Troy" (or boy or joy) and the "per" is pronounced as a p then an "er" as in "trigger" or "banner".

So, a groyper is like one who groyps.

What a weird word but this helped. Thank you.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

If when you say it you feel like you've just sexually assaulted a nearby woman, then you have pronounced it correctly. Sort of a cross between "hype" and "grope".

It’s kinda tiring everyone trying to figure out what a psychopath was.
