How crazy would it be if we found out he did it for love?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's honestly what I'm thinking it is. He was supposedly dating a trans person and Kirk is a real POS when it comes to that topic so I could imagine him loving his partner so much that he felt the need to kill someone he sees as making life more dangerous for them.

The federal conclusion will inevitably be that he was a so-called nihilist violent extremist (NVE)

That is a lot of confidence in the administration to let law enforcement do its job properly and not politicize the findings.

You thought that right- and left-wing extremists are the problem, turns out the center-extremists are /s

Did they just learn about nuance and that practically nothing in life is strictly black and white?

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The people who need to learn a lesson will never change their minds. The "Change My Mind" crowd are not there to have their mind changed, it's to try to change those who are weaker and not able to come up with conclusions on their own.

None of us know anything for certain, but I sure get the sense that this kid is a patsy. I'm inclined to dismiss everything the authorities and the media are saying about him. It all sounds like incongruent nonsense. My fingers are crossed that we actually get to hear him speak before the powers that be murder him.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would they have a patsy who doesn’t fit the narrative they want? That makes no sense

The "text" messages seem really weird, like someone who is like 40+ tried writing like a much younger person...

Everything seems to add up in just this perfectly awkward way...

And this is my crazy ass thoughts: I'm not even sure the dude is real, or his family is, i have not seen an actual interview from these people who keep saying all these things... is it just a bunch of Ai bullshit? Part of a Cover up?

I've been following all the news on him and he's clearly a trans groyper antifa gun enthusiast centrist who likes to play Helldivers II.
