    I’m a bit lost. Wasn’t the killer a far right dude who disliked Kirk and MAGA for not being far right enough/in the same ways as him?

    Can someone get me up to date?

      The only actual evidence we’ve been shown is that he was largely apolitical but grew up in a MAGA family, and at some point in time began disliking CK, possibly due to a pendulum swing against his hard right family after moving out. There’s no real evidence to support that he was hard right or hard left, or in fact had any strong political affiliations. Only that he disliked the guy he shot enough to shoot him.

      Facts are irrelevant to these people. They trust nobody’s word beyond those who affirm what they want to believe.

    Every single mass shooter has been claimed to be trans by Alex Jones for the past like 3 years. Before any evidence is out, 4chan posters will find a random trans persons social media profile, grab pictures and post them claiming they are the shooter. They claim that psych meds (like anti depressants) and hormones fuck with your head in a way that makes you crazy and wanting to shoot people.

    This shit is on purpose to inspire dumbasses like this guy.

      I miss the old 4chan where their politics were insane justifications to commit whatever acts of terrorism in the middle of their venn diagram of “things they feel like doing” and “things they have the capacity to do” but weren’t right or left but politically confused, angry, and kinda insane. The 4chan of anonymous instead of the 5 4chan of kiwifarms

    I’m 42 and have been struggling with mental health issues since I was a teenager. But seeing and hearing all of the maga talk and conspiracy’s makes me realize that I’ve had my shit together this whole time.

    As a reminder to anybody of any age that is suffering with mental health issues, remember that you are loved and needed and every day might be a struggle, but just getting up and putting 1 foot in front of the other is more than enough to achieve a goal.

    That ol’ boy looks like he ate the guy who ate all the pies. His blood sugar must have been low, he was just hangry. If only someone had given him a Snickers.

    He’s facing federal charges?

    So, you mean that he’ll be let free. I’m calling it now. They’re going to try and paint him as a victim of political targeting by “woke” agents. Goofy Eyes Patel will then dismiss the charges and fire the agents.

    So then if I get this straight “person a did something so let’s attack person b”. So that sounds about as logical as you can get /s

      That’s because person c was demonizing group d as the attacker, even before there were any facts.

        Yeah I absolutely agree. My comment was basically showing how dumb it is to attack person a for what person b did
