“I know there has been speculation as well as to the writing on those casings, those bullet casings."

    New article suggests the shooter was from a MAGA family, and even had a note about what kind of messages they planned to engrave they had shared on Discord.

        The comments in the article have since been retracted; the source hadn’t talked to the shooter in years, and admitted they didn’t remember their relationship

          But they were published nonetheless. I gotta admit that, should the writing on the casings be real, a MAGA would be highly unlikely to use the term “fascist.”

            Um, those same people called Obama… fucking Obama a fascist and a communist. Talking about MAGA as if they’re coherent is intellectually dishonest. Some of the memes on the shells are about as old as the shooter and only actively cycled in alt right groups.

            A MAGA would be highly likely to use the term “fascist” especially if they’re a groyper. They have a history of calling Kirk a fascist and rivaling with TPUSA’s events on college campuses for a while now.

        Unlikely. His motivation was to oppose Charlie Kirk from “spreading hate.” That group’s objective would have been the opposite. He was radicalized by the far left.

        Everyone saying this has no idea what a groyper is. But I am numb to caring at this point. Every last American wants to feel like they know something special and unique about every notable event.

          Aren’t groypers further right than charlie was, and had a tendency to refer to him as a fascist?

            They’re dungeon dwellers who have no real values or principles other than trolling and being offensive. They’re not any kind of real movement, just an online clubhouse. A lot more people than them called Kirk a fascist, but we have a general public who really want to draw lines and find reasons for things.
