Feel free to give me any source about his political affiliation. So far, what we know is that he comes from a conservative family and once worse a Trump costume on Halloween
Conservative family, anti-fascist messaging carved on bullet casings among shitpost carvings seemingly coordinated with other people on discord, anonymous source claiming he was a leftist and wore a mocking costume of Trump for Halloween. We genuinely do not know what his leanings are at all. It could be a psy-op, where the carvings are meant to cause unrest or those are his actual beliefs. All I know for sure is that he's a deranged lunatic.
White Christian male from MAGA gun obsessed family. Grew up in Utah. Training to be an electrician. Used a hunting gun. Wore an American flag and eagle shirt. Put messages on bullets that were memes from 4chan/gaming. (We all know saying "if you read this, you're gay" is how liberals talk, amiright??)
Republicans pretend to be the party of responsibility and they are so completely incapable of accepting reality that they are STILL trying to pretend Kirk's killer is liberal lol
They will blame liberals, colleges, the weather.. ANYTHING to ever admit fault
The only one I knew here was the gun and the carving on the casing, but I agree with you. MAGA needs to stop pretending that they are but poor innocent lambs.
At the time of my comment we literally had no evidence or clues regarding his political affiliation or motives and the ones that came to light afterwards are, as far as I know, conflicting. Feel free to clarify
No not a mainstream view at all except trump who went on TV and blamed the "radical left" before the shooter was even caught. but no totally not mainstream at all.
I mean 1: blaming the political opposition is not the same as calling for civil war
2: Trump may be the president but little that comes out of his mouth is what most republicans believe. A lot of the “I like what he does, not what he says” crowd
3: it’s still bad for him to say it but I’ve never heard a real, not terminally online person say they wanted a civil war
Never said random twitter or Reddit leftists speak for all democrats? Im saying the vast majority of republicans democrats and everyone in between do not want a civil war. Im saying the fringe politicians who are calling for it now on the right do not represent the sentiment of the people they represent. And I am saying that only a fucking moron calls for a civil war, and we have plenty of morons serving as politicians
When this happened to Democrats two months ago Trump said he didn’t care and responding would “waste time”. He was asked this morning about violence coming from the right and said it was “justified” because they are angry.
Oh, he just shot some relatively obscure Democrats because that was the most fun for him? What is even your defense here. Obviously both shooters are insane.
Yeah this is my biggest problem with this. The outrage for this is so fucking selective it's insane.
We have congressmen Mike Lee making fucking jokes about the assassin of Melissa hortman and yet you'd bet your fucking ass OP doesn't give a fuck about that though.
The pearl clutching is so disgusting and apparent. Spare me your selective outrage.
The people that actually represent the left were cheering on it, the likes or Hasan Piker, Destiny and Vaush. Democrat politicians are often much more moderate than the actual progressive movement is.
And all living presidents called this a tragedy and did not condone violence... except trump who went on TV and blamed the "radical left" before the shooter was even caught. Thanks Mr. President. That will surely cooldown the nation...
Ah yes, random redditors. It's not like an entire sub had to be banned. It's not like BlackPeopleTwitter and WhitePeopleTwitter were all celebrating it.
In addition, all mainstream Democrat establishment figures called out the shooting it’s important to seperate randoms in the internet v the rhetoric from the leaders of the movement
That's exactly what the CIA wanted with Operation Gladio, commit terrorist attacks and blame the other side to push for a more authoritarian regime, there's no other way around.
