Caught because he told someone and they snitched, bummer. Please be mindful that he is still only an alleged killer, and has not yet been put on trial for his charges. Innocent until proven guilty.

apparently his republican dad saw the circulating photos and asked his son to turn himself in. I doubt it had anything to do with the $100k reward

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 113 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I like to think if I shot a right wing extremist troll, my dad would help me lay low instead of turning me in. But my dad is an aging hippy, not a maga hat worm brain.

never underestimate republican selfishness and hypocrisy.

Holy shit that's fucked up. Man basically just killed his own child (or encouraged his child to kill himself) in exchange for $100k.

Now that he’s been identified as a Christian, I suspect that this will just be a big misunderstanding. A few hail Mary’s, a quick confession, and he’ll be absolved.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 130 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I heard he was so trans that he transitioned from female to male by himself in utero.

They’ll completely ignore that and focus on the trans and other stuff they “found” engraved on the casings at the scene. This is now “trans people are violent, trans supporters are violent.” And that will be the narrative

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 85 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The marks on the casings have been released and there are zero references to anything trans. It was a lie that they will keep drip feeding their followers, but it literally does not exist.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tell that to all the innocent law enforcement who looked at that last casing and became gay! How are they supposed to break this news to their wives and children?? Seriously, do they have to actually stop abusing them while they say it, or can they piecemeal it between blows? And what if they're drunk?? Does that mean they can't properly acknowledge to their family that they're gay and become double gay????

Now watch as the narrative becomes that he turned into a hateful and dangerous leftist by being indoctrinated at university, even though he comes from a good, god loving family.

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Already there on right wing discussion sites

(Thread has 250 pages and is a continuation of the initial 500 page thread)

There is some leftist dissent but it is overwhelmingly right wingers positing the narrative that you propose (plus discord/transgender friends/never trump republicans)

[–] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 59 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They are so fucking predictable, it's actually infuriating. We are losing to this FFS.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"He is ANTIFA" tells me so much about the person posting. They think that kid is an immortal being who hasn't aged since he lived in 1930s Germany.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I always find it amusing that they hate Antifa, but can't connect the dots to realize that makes them the fascists.

Right now it's "I'm waiting for all the facts", which is very similar to "I need more context" comments during videos of police brutality. It's denial framed as reservation.

White kid from conservative family shoots conservative personality.

  • conservatives threaten black schools
  • a wave of prominent conservatives talking about WAR WERE DECLARED!!
  • random conservatives walking around on the anniversary of 9/11 making threats against "the Democrats" while looking at innocent people
  • conservative lizards insinuating "the left's reaction" is somehow a nefarious development a couple months after they made fun of a governor being assassinated, which was preceded by conservatives making fun of the attack on Pelosi.

These fucks are violent and unhinged.

To be fair, CNN reports:

Robinson at the [family] dinner said “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” according to the relative’s account related by [Utah Governor Spencer] Cox.

We've already seen the playbook, though. His race only matters if he's not white. His sexuality only matters if it's not heterosexual. His gender only matters if he's trans. His religion only matters if it's not Christian. His politics only matter if he's not Republican. Source: Last summer's attempted assassination attempt against Trump.

But honestly, none of that matters. Most people did not reason themselves into their opinion on this matter (minds were made up before there was any evidence or credible suspect at all), and most of the time you cannot reason people out of an opinion if they did not reason themselves into it. Which sucks. But also, this applies to us all, so hopefully most of us are keeping that in mind.

I think it's interesting to see the news media go back to naming and focusing on shooters. When big school shootings began to happen they talked all about the shooters and what could have led them to do what they did. That accidentally became a great incentive for copycats because many were outcasts wanting similar infamy and their stories to be told.

Then over the years most news media tried to just focus on the victims and communities impacted. Shootings still happen, but how often do you hear the shooter named on the news? Even for major events like the trump assassination attempts they didn't really focus a lot on who the shooters were.

It seems that recent shooters are getting a lot more attention again. All it takes is to assassinate someone and get away just long enough to force them to name your and show your face, messages you left on the scene etc. This runs the risk of starting a whole new copycat trend and I think we're seeing that starting here

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Personally I would prefer shooters to shoot political opponents of students any day of the week.

Sorry guys hate to say this but Tyler Robinson was with me kayaking in Pennsylvania on Sept. 10 around 2-3pm I have or can come up with evidence to corroborate this.

They forgot “illegal latino” with blue hair!

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 34 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

“Trans illegal Latino prison escapee with blue hair” but also black and Muslim at the same time of course.

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah it was pretty clear, he actually knew how to shoot

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 week ago (11 children)

That will probably set them off even more. I can already here the exclamations about how the radical left is brainwashing good, young, Christian men into doing their dirty work.

Hey fascist! Catch!

I was extremely puzzled about "anti-fa trans rhetoric" combo could fit on a bullet, but "catch"... ok, got it.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

"Hey Fascist! Catch! ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️" is a reference to throwing a Strategem Ball from the game Helldivers 2 (in this case, it spawns the largest explosion players have easy access to) and the phrase "hey catch" is a community meme in that context.

Dude was a real memelord, is what I'm saying. Nice aim, too.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Which is a tiny bit ironic because super earth is an over the top parody of fascists.

But also

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah that irony is why it's included - the game is very openly anti-fascist, and the community (tho it ofc has it's own weirdos) is the same. Lots of "are we the baddies" memes (right now especially with the gloom expedition arc)
