The evidence released so far suggest Tyler Robinson could potentially be linked to a movement like the Order of Nine Angles or 764.

    It is ridiculous how fast they passed from the “civil war” narrative to “Charlie Kirk was a very compassionate man, jesus wants you to forgive your enemies” lol.

      The Wall Street Journal, which has fucked up and had to issue a retraction already, is currently saying he’s independent but highlighting Cox calling him ultra-leftist. So the general tone of the article is still, this guy’s a dangerous dem.

      If it’s true that he’s far right, everything fair so far has, the potential to backfire in an insane way.

      Trump himself made a public address about Charlie and said “radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.”

      If this was radical right violence, it’s a fucking huge deal. Not because of the event, but because of the reaction.

      Nah, they’re trying to say that he was radicalized by the left based on an anonymous report by one of his supposed friends. You know, the kinda friends he’d have that would 100% lie about that and stay anonymous so people can’t fact check 'em. Or the anonymous person was just someone trying to keep up the momentum and didn’t even know him. Either way they are falling for it.

    Hopefully this wakes everyone up to how fast the GOP is willing to nail civility to a cross the second they have a half decent excuse. They were actively calling for a civil war and calling for the slaughter of their neighbors.

    I’m suspicious on the donation document. It’s listed as entrepreneur when I’d seen he was in an electrician apprenticeship. Tyler Robinson is a common name, are we sure this is the same Tyler Robinson?

      I think you’re right to be suspicious of everything right now. This article at least frames most of this as speculation. The groyper stuff seems a bit harder to dismiss, since the FBI decided to release evidence that really makes that case, despite them trying to frame it as “antifa.”

        I appreciate you posting this, and the article. And I agree with you on the groyper bit too. I’m still waiting for more evidence to make up my mind fully.

      I’m not super familiar with Vaush or his content so I don’t want to immediately assume correctness but in a recent of his on the topic he stated that there is another Tyler Robinson that lived nearby the one in question who was responsible for that donation.

    I think that Tyler was a quality boy and I’d like to see more people making America great again like he did.

    Lol imagine if the guy who nailed Kirk with a single shot at 220m hated guns. This article is dumb.

    Please stop with this shit. Just fucking stop.

    I’m a liberal gun owner, and outspoken on the subject. How would you frame me? Your side? Or no?

    Everyone is fucking desperate to say, “Not MY guy!”

    STFU until we know a lot more. Just STFU. Or you’re no better than the conservatives screaming, “Hang him high!” STFU for a fucking minute.

      All we know really is the evidence the FBI has released, consisting of bullet casing engravings. These engravings are straight up groyper rhetoric. The fact that the dude “loves guns” isn’t the point of the article at all if you read beyond the headline.

      Just STFU. Or you’re no better than the conservatives screaming, “Hang him high!”

      Uhhh…do you really think that? You think me posting this very preliminary review of available evidence is the same as conservatives calling for open war against anyone to their left and the end of democracy? You think that’s the same?!

        Calling the bullet casing engravings “straight up groyper rhetoric” feels like grasping at straws.

        To me, it reads like a joke from a 22 year old troll who thought it’d be funny to have these memes repeated all over the news rather than a manifesto explaining his motivations.

        Edit: I read some more info and am now less confident in the stand I took in this comment

    I guess he’s the next Luigi, no conclusive evidence, just a scapegoat, will probably get a perp walk just to show they are still in “control”.
