The shooter has been confirmed to be a white dude so why am I not surprised by Bishop posting this. Trans people are like the running meme of mizzou getting punished on r/cfb. It's so awesome being scapegoated for everything.

The Guardian is reporting the opposite
Yes, the guardian reported the opposite from one source that knew him years ago in high school. The governor's statement said that family interviews said he became more politicized recently, so that doesn't really line up with someone that hasn't spoke to him since high school. Also all of the engraving notes point to groypers.

Now what is this? Proves why I should absolutely never take you seriously. Juvenile finger poking. Really-how old are you?
This is what I would call, me laughing at you. I am laughing at the fact you trot yourself out as this rational caller of balls and strikes, but it basically boils down to you not participating in any sort of substantive discussion just sitting there chiding in, like the kid who asks for homework or who volunteers to be a hall monitor.

Shows what I know, thought the person in front was just in Trump-face and it was some sort of poorly executed Eric Andre homage.

Man, everyone STFU! As someone who has speculated a few times here (I can admit it), I can say at this point, we know nothing concrete at and EVERYONE and their brother, sister, half brother, sister-1st cousin (that's West Virginia ;)) are speculating, just like DJT has been doing.

That Malaysian Hitler guy is just parroting what many others have said including the father is a retired policeman or sheriff, but BBC says Social media accounts indicate Robinson's father runs a kitchen countertop and cabinet installation business, so who knows what the truth is right now?

And so many are spouting off that he was brainwashed at his woke university (presuming Utah State Univ) but he only spent 1 semester there, dropping out; he's been attending an electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College (doesn't sound like a very woke school to me).

There is way too much disinformation out there right now so I think we all need to knock it off.

I will add that whatever they state about his background and details of gun, event, and escape, better be well substantiated so there's no room for us to think the information is being manipulated to feed a narrative.

This thread is so dumb. Everyone grasping to be on the right side but everyone on the dumb ignorant side.

You and I have reached very different conclusions to this point. I suppose we shall see.

Impossible to have a discussion with someone who isn't living in reality.
lol ok. I guess I made up the whole fascist, nazi, threat to democracy, literally Hitler thing that has been mainstream and Dems celebrating Kirk’s death. I guess I made up the overwhelming trend of left-wing violence in our recent past.

I did see some funny but probably true to an extent commentary on twitter that boomers and gen x types were going to have a lot of trouble with this guy.

I'm inclined to think there is something to that. I'm a younger millennial and barely understand a lot of the internet culture being cited. "Oh he's definitely a groyper!" Ok Deborah, I'm sure you are very well learned on this term you heard of yesterday. "Oh he's a Democrat Socialist furry! Look at this!" Ok Uncle Terry, let's get you back to your Wheel of Fortune. You don't even know what that means.

Where the guy falls on the spectrum isn't actually super important to me. What is important to me is the response we saw. Pretty disturbing.

I have no idea what that means. Mind clarifying that part?

I’m on the razors edge between Millennial and Gen Z so I do understand it. But it is funny to see the online discourse about it

Yes you did make up that trend like you thought that picture was the shooter.

From what I've seen, it looks like the guy was VERY online. I don't think that world is easily understood, particularly by older people. There are corners of the internet that do not fit neatly into republican/democrat labels and frankly are very strange and confusing even for younger old people (like me).

If he is a Fuentes guy, and that's a huge if, then he is VERY far right. Like Sam Hyde openly saying the N word style far right.

Charlie Kirk committed open and fair debate. He got what he deserved. Violence justified.
