The Idaho shooter who killed two fighter fighters. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/us/idaho-fire-shooter-wess-roley
Remember: misinformation comes from both sides. Just because you like it doesn't mean you can skip fact checking.
We need your particular set of skills to kidnap and possibly deflate a giant orange balloon that people keep pretending is human.
It's people like those two that need their faces eaten by a leopard.
too bad this happened in the home of the Aryan Nation, it'll amount to thoughts and prayers
I truly hope firefighters nationwide make some noise against this shit with guns and mental health and press politicians to make changes via inaction during emergencies. this is absolutely fucking unacceptable and they should not ever fear additional life threatening forces while risking their lives and addressing crises
so fucking tired of psychos parading around their love of guns alongside their hatred. your god isn't fuckin real, your guns are not a "god given right"
your god isn’t fuckin real, your guns are not a “god given right”
Jesus would be going temple pharisee rampage and shoving their guns up their asses
These people are victims of targeted propaganda.
These people are willing consumers of targeted propaganda.
Ftfy
By "propaganda" I mean lies and manipulation. By definition you can't consent to that.
I think they probably have a dull little voice in the back of their head that they do their best to starve and keep locked in a little prison cell that tells them they shouldn't believe what they're seeing/hearing, and they ignore the voice and keep consuming Faux News etc.
No surprise they wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads.
Those MAGA Republicans look like DEMOCRATS!
Don't believe you lying eyes!
The timeline in the article doesn't line up with that picture.
Sounds like there was a nasty divorce in 2015 between the parents, including a restraining order.
We've got an article, I'm sure there will be more coming out. It's his mom and stepdad:
Social media accounts for his parents show that his dad, a U.S. Army veteran, and his mom, a pet groomer, have each divorced and remarried. Each has made Facebook posts in support of President Donald Trump and right-wing politics, but there is no indication their son shares their views.

Per the CNN story, its certainly possible he had a mental break after failing to get a job in the forestry service and just decided to take it out on a couple of firefighters before offing himself.
Did his parents holding extremist political views and a fetish for firearms play a role in his actions? Would be more unbelievable if they didn't. But I don't think he'd have been better off with a couple of parents who were firmly in the Ted Cruz camp or disaffected Liz Cheney die-hards, either.
If I was to take a wild guess, I'd say this was the direct result of a kid who was out of high school, unemployed, with no real future on the horizon, who was terminally online in a community of (likely a large number of bot-accounts and trolls) telling him he's worthless and should just off himself.
A classic problem of "surplus males" that plague every militant reactionary society.
I appreciate this take on it. So easy to take jabs at the MAGA family but to take the time to really think on the more actual influences on this kid's actions, I think you did well.
Do we really need to spread fake info about this? His parents had an aggressively hostile divorce 10 years ago.
So neither exist? No one raised him?... My money is on at least one of them is his parent...the other probably played a part in raising him.
