    They were attacking Black people even after the shooter’s family turned him in.

    They don’t need an excuse.

      They love any opportunity to be vile, just so happens they figured they can just be vile all the time.

      Bomb threat got called into the Dem HQ in DC, too.

      And a bunch of HBCUs.

      Oh and there was another school shooting on the same day, I think at least 3 dead/wounded… flags went half mast in Colorado not for that, but for Kirk.

      Kids weren’t even mentioned.

        There were bomb threats to democrat lawmakers across the country, Oregon, Minnesota (or Michigan), New Mexico

      No, they only argue in bad faith. Debating them or applying any kind of logical consistency to their actions or arguments is falling right into their trap because then they suck up all your energy until you’re too tired to do anything about it anymore.

    Still seeking confirmation on the Goyper narrative.

    I hate to be that guy, but if we just accept this narrative without proof, we are only slightly better than the people who peddled the minority narrative.

    It’s still not definitively confirmed that the guy was a right winger, his family might have been MAGA but the guy himself could have very possibly been radicalized recently by the endless ragebait “anti-fascist” posts and did the deed as a result. It would explain the casings at the very least.

    From what I’ve seen, the entire assumption that the guy was a rightoid comes from the fact that his family is MAGA and that’s pretty much it.

      He part of a neo nazi group who thought Kirk wasn’t conservative enough. The group also had a beef with Kirk followers and himself. It was one right wing gang killing opposing member of another right wing gang. Kirk was killed in a gang hit.

        So… Is there any chance this and the Colorado school shooting are connected? Strikes me as very odd that there is very little information being dropped on that one, except for the fact that the 16-year-old was radicalized by an online “white supremacist” group.

        What if these were synchronized for a reason and both were groypers?

        Also, why is there no wikipedia entry for that at all?

          There is a connection, it’s a sick symptom of this late stage capitalism hellhole with no hope. Perhaps you missed the previous 400+ school shooting deaths?

          Interesting until they had caught the killer I had never heard of that group or that Nick Fetuses or however you spell his last name. Of course I don’t go out of my way to see what neo nazi groups there are.

            I’ve heard of Fetus no doubt. But not the term Groyper. It’s like the next stage of radicalization after inceldom or something.

            Loneliness is indeed an epidemic and these kids get caught up in such fucked up things in groups that prey on the instinct of seeking community.

      The last 2 elections he did not vote. My guess is that he did not wanted to vote democrats but Trump was too extreme for him. But that’s just my guess.
