    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.

        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.

          If I did that, my brother would snitch on me so quick.

          Then our whole family ends up in gitmo (we’re not white), but hey, congrats on being a douchbag, big bro. Now we can all suffer together.

            It’d probably be better for them not to call. If you’re trying to hide, don’t give them information on where you are.

          I would think the dad doesn’t really give a toss about politics and just didn’t want to turn on the news and see his son to die in a police shootout.

        So he’s dad basically just sent him to die… I am almost certain they will be looking for death penalty and best case scenario it’s a life imprisonment. That seems like a great dad :D

        The father then called a youth pastor, who is also a U.S. Marshals task force officer. The officer advised the father to have Robinson stay in place. This information was then conveyed to the FBI.

        Priests are mandated report crimes outside of confession.

            I’m also guessing “pastor” doesn’t mean “seminary trained, regular background checks, psychologically evaluated, tested for competence, and examined by others to discern call in a denomination that requires pastors act like mandatory reporters” but instead means “Bubba says the Bible good and hates the right folks.”

    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.

      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

      A tragedy really, why couldn’t he be a black drag queen or some trans person, or at the very least gay in like a flashy and obvious way? At some point the good, honest people of America might start questioning who is actually the problem…

    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.

    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

        Yeah, students didn’t here and generally don’t do anything to justifiably put themselves in the crosshairs. Politicians, on the other hand, make enemies like it’s their job. I prefer no violence. I prefer direct to indirect consequences. Usually we can’t get everything we want.

      “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.

          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)

        he put that stuff on his bullets for some reason and he’s killed someone who he described as spreading hate. He’s an angry Republican. His message to the right is that he is Antifascist and not a liberal
