    If the Discord is real, he seemed like a pretty normal guy. Apparently he was bisexual, and his girfriend might’ve been trans. According to the source at least. I don’t know any groypers, so I don’t know how they act, but I don’t think that they’re normally fine with that sort of thing. Somewhere else said that he claimes to have done it to silence the hate that Kirk spewed, which is a fair enough reason I guess. Lots of contradictory info. Maybe he was a groyper that woke up after meeting his girlfriend. Maybe he just did it for attention. Maybe he just snapped. I’m just hoping for the best, that he did it for a decent enough reason, not to start a race war. We might even find out, if he isn’t Epsteined.

          i called it 4chan speak just from the rumored bullet casings before it was announced he was a Fuentes fanboy, not sure what there is to think about

          humans are really good at ignoring reality and doubling down with self hatred, how many gay republican politicians have made the news over the years now?

          we really don’t need to invent trans support motivations

          plenty of other examples of right wing political violence, just recently both the trump shooter and that lady rep and her dog

          but surely it’ll be a dangerous drag queen perp next time

            Because none of this stuff is actually trustworthy, because we can’t trust the government to do anything right or tell the truth. The bullet casings might be made up, I don’t think any real evidence of those were ever released. He’s probably conservative, and I think that everyone knows that. I’d just like more substantial evidence, which it doesn’t seem that we’re going to get, certainly not anytime soon. The text messages are obviously faked, so they’re obviously trying to construct the “evil leftist” narrative.

      I saw some of the Discord on Ken Klippensteins website. Are there other links to it that show more conversation?

        No, this is just from what he wrote. Apparently he got a publicly unavailable picture of the two of them as evidence, so it’s not impossible that it’s real. I think that too many of us might’ve been a bit too quick to hop on the groyper thing, just because he was online a ton. And someone named Tyler Robinson in the St. George area donated to Trump 5 years ago, when Robinson was 17.
