Not sure about this. There's been more information coming out and I was team Groyper on his ideology but he may have just done an about face after living with his trans roommate (who is cooperating with police, and shocked he did this).

Quoting AP here:

Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

“The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,” Cox said. “I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.”

Fuck Cox. That asshole literally prayed that he'd be able to blame it on an immigrant. The original story was that he lived with his father, then suddenly a trans person appeared from out of nowhere.

Never trust initial reporting on an event like this. His name was associated legally with the address they shared, looks like he did confess to it privately.

Yeah, the circus around it is insanity, but you have to be able to adjust your view on an event as the truth comes out, even when it's as politically charged as this.

Hey, notice how I didn't make any claims?

You quoted the authorities with no corroborating evidence, and then a TMZ(🙄) story about a note that the police say existed but they can't produce.

You're a mark. Take your own advice.

Never trust initial reporting on an event like this.

[–] aow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The story specifically includes documents (not the note, the PDF) with an (alleged) conversation between the suspect and his roommate on discord. Could be fake, but given anything you write on there is police accessible and he confessed, twice, at some point you have to admit it's a stretch not to believe it.

Insulting me doesn't change the facts.

(alleged)

Thanks for making my point. You and the media believe everything the police tell you, despite how often police lie. I'm just asking you to bless credulous.

We don't know the facts. I'm only insulting you because it's fun.

Groypers being into femboys seems to be a thing

fuentes was allegedly into gay porn.

Being into trans women and/or femboys has been a chan thing for a long time.

The only thing I've seen linking their roomate to "transness" is a single Instagram makeup filter photo. Not exactly conclusive evidence.

"They were trans"

"Their roomate was trans"

Anything to attach this to queers and not to the alt right.

He was probably gay or pan but that's got nothing to do with him coming from MAGA background and snapping over the hate. That's the real story, here.
