Damn I wonder why this can't be tied to the left? 🤔 Makes you think

They'll make something up. It'll be a bad forgery, but they'll run with it because they're arrogant.
I think the only reason there hasn't yet been a full-blown pogrom against the LGBTQ community is that the shooter they apprehended was a far-right groyper and not the far-left antifa terrorist they assumed would target someone like Kirk.
But with the sheer number of people on the left openly celebrating Kirk's death, I don't think they'll really need evidence to start going after the left.
I heard that he might be one at first, but newest news say exactly what the article said: no groyper, no leftist.
Which makes sense because it both sounded weird to me that a leftist would write “whoever reads this is gay lol” or that a right-winger would write “Bella chiao” or “take that, fascist”.
I think one of them said catch fascist or something like that. Which is kind of funny. But if you can read this you are gay. I think he was just messing with everybody at this point.
Pretending to be sad about the spearhead of the Nazi youth is just pathetic. Even if everyone pretended it would not stop them, it is just a matter of if you go down swinging or not.
Don't worry I'm sure they'll find some eventually if they just keep looking. The libs are very good at hiding themselves. Sometimes they vote for republicans, that's a sure sign their liberal, voting for republicans.
Doesn’t matter the right made up their minds about this the second he was shot.
Since when have the american right ever cared about facts? These guys are all feefees, no brain. Its why every time somebody capitulates to their demands they create a new dumber demand.
“Yet”
The investigation will continue until we have completed the manufacturing process.
But somehow trans people are the terrorists. The Heritage Foundation even cited Tyler Robinson as evidence of "trans shooters"
I know that the apparently had a trans woman mate but was he personally himself trans, I hadn't heard that. Was it just more made up nonsense.
it's the trans lady's fault, somehow.
It honestly doesn't matter. Did or didn't, left right, or corkscrew. If we knew definitively now factually 100% he can conclusively be put into 1 bucket. The facts don't matter to them. The truth is already in.
To be on their side, you "know" the "truth".
And if you don't "know" the "truth", than by gee you seem awfully suspicious mr...
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth.
— George Orwell, 1984
lol It’s so obvious that they’re starting this investigation with a “conclusion” and they’re trying really hard to make it fit.
I hate to say this but I feel like nbcnews will be shut down for this article
And there won't be.
This was predicted during the first Trump administration. A MAGAt is primed for violence for ten years & then figures out he's been lied to and propagandized the entire time. They then use that violence on the very scum that lied to them.
Sometimes the Stochastic terrorism boomerangs.
Exactly. Just like the attempted assassinations of trump
If the Discord groups he hung out in were leftist or in any way "antifa" they would have been screaming about it this whole time. He hung out in far right meme circles. It looks like they've decided on the lone, crazy gunman approach so they can avoid accountability yet again.
I don't know why anyone cares about this kid. He's the alleged shooter. The feds still haven't provided anything credible to prove he was the guy, no video of the kid on the roof with the rifle, no bullet, no medical report, weird people in the crowd causing a distraction, tampering of the crime scene, clearly fake text exchange...there are so many more important questions that need answers.
And yet, even with this dude they don't have a shred of evidence of left-wing involvement.
He had a left hand. Checkmate!
They don't need any links or ties to justify their hate. They just need feelings of being oppressed, wronged, robbed, and disrespected. There is no excuse needed to blame and attack people who aren't like them. It's in their DNA, they've done this since before this country was a country.
Yeah, no kidding there is no connection because there is virtually nothing organized on the left. And what prominent left wing groups use the kind of stochastic terrorism that the conservatives use?
I mean, on the conservative side, it starts from the very top, with Taco, and continues on down to the very bottom to your average red-hatter. All of them constantly make threats involve violence, all the time.
Taco talked about "second amendment people".
Project 2025 architect says there will be a bloodless revolution, if liberals allow it.
Kirk gets shot and the conservatives all, without knowing anything about the shooter, decared war on the majority of the country...
Bullshit. I heard his bestmates' mothers' hairdresser's nephew once changed the oil on a cars transmission.
Checkmate, you murderous loony lefties!!!
But we sure are lookin'. Cletus has gotten into generative AI, so we'll see what comes up.
If he was a lefty they would have been rubbing our faces in it day 1, not doctoring social media messages.
Reality doesn't matter.
No. The right has decided and they’re banded together on this, at least among the people in my circles I still talk to.
“I’m all out of grace for the left.”
“You fascist, hate filled leftists have crossed the line this time. We’re done.”
“We’re past dialogue with you people.”
Catch the running theme? It’s likely what the pundits are pushing as the narrative, I’ve been too busy and too tired to listen in this week, so I don’t know.
And neither do they. But someone on the perception management team over there seems ready to give marching orders.
So yeah, as you say, it likely doesn’t matter.
Man I really thought his steam play history (specifically power washing simulator) was going to reveal some radical left links!
Why not look at the other wing group? Ah too much evidence
Here is what we know for sure about the shooter's politics. His entire childhood, he was raised right wing. He even dressed up as Trump for Halloween a year or two ago.
Unless he specifically joined a group that promotes violence, there is simply no reason to think that his violence came from anything but his childhood.
So, even if it was hypothetically true, what MAGA has been saying, that he had recently been dating a trans woman, and his politics had changed, even if that hypothetical was true, it would just mean that his conservative upbringing that glorified violence got a different target.
He's a shadow recruit of George Soros, who is incredibly rich with $7 billion, which is a lot more than Elon Musk's paltry $429 billion and why he's so much more effective than poor, sensible, people like Musk at influencing politics and must be stopped. /j
