Two pictures posted on X show a person in black sunglasses, a baseball cap, a long sleeved black shirt and jeans.

The FBI is asking for the public’s help identifying the person in connection with the attack at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

    a guy that looks like that carved “transgender” and “anti-fascist” on the shell casings

    This stinks to high heaven.

    Damn he definitely blended in with the crowd. Generic ass looking dude he gone. Sleep tight, conservative pundits.

    and local officials recovered ammunition with the rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology”

    Well if I would be a right wing extremist, I would try anything to make it look like someone from the other team took the shot. Because anything else sounds like it was made the fuck up.

      If this statement is true - and yes, you never know anymore in the Trump regime… - then ask yourself how trans people must feel now.

      Trump and his cronies have been violently attracking them and threatening their very right to exist since he took office. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if one of them decided to respond in kind and went all Rambo on MAGA.

      The political violence is all Trump’s doing.

    Yeah they ain’t never gonna find “generic white guy”. It isn’t gonna happen.

    Edit - Well. Make a liar out of me. Fuckin idiot told his dad and his dad narc’d on him. Opsec failure. But I stand by my statement. Had he not been a dumbass they never would have found him. Not from those pictures.

    Whatever the screen print on that shirt is, looks very republican/patriot to me.

    But Kash said they had the person after the shooting happened. Are we saying the FBI has no clue what’s going on and maybe making shit up?

        No, they arrested an old white man in the crowd who they later released who I believe made a scene saying it was him so they would be distracted looking for the actual shooter
