    Charlie Kirk suspect is a gun-loving Trump supporter

    What a surprise that the right-wing media’s stories about the shooter being a trans left-wing activist were entirely false.

    Edit: As brownmustardminion@lemmy.ml points out, we should treat this report with caution and remember to read that report critically alongside other reports.

    Edit: Such as this one:

      Everybody with a liberal leaning is parroting this, yet the messages he left behind with the gun were antifascist slogans and there’s photos of him in costume for Halloween likely mocking trump. Sure there’s a chance he wrote it for the meme, but might as well hold off until the motive is clearer.

      Meanwhile if you check out what conservatives are saying, it’s the same but polar opposite…“Antifa lefty confirmed. Typical…”. I swear everybody treats politics like a pro football league nowadays.

        You make a good point. I’ve edited my post. But there is also this:

          There are more than a few “good solid traditional” conservative families where the latest generation is everything but.

      Robinson was captured after he confessed to a family friend, or “implied that he had committed” the murder to that friend, the governor said. That person in turn contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday.

      Suspect was betrayed…

        Key take away as always. If one wants to keep something secret, don’t tell anyone, ever.

          The suspect was convinced to turn themself in by their dad, who then reached out to their pastor (who was a US marshal) for help handling it. The suspect willingly remained in place for authorities. But yeahhhh “captured” lmaoo

          Kash Patel made an absolute fool out of himself and the FBI with this investigation so now every fact must be twisted and spun to make it look like law enforcement was super duper successful and competent in order for him to keep his job.

    Are you still “captured” if you turn yourself in?

    Why is he a suspect? He isn’t the only person who claimed responsibility for the shooting. Do we have evidence to backup that claim?
