    Yeah, there isn’t enough evidence to definitively prove it either way, and much of the evidence out there is tenuous or based on anonymous sources or tweets.

    I agree that the claim he’s on the left is more plausible.

    I don’t think we’ll know for sure unless he says something.




  • The statements from his friend have been retracted.

    At this point, there is not enough conclusive evidence to determine the shooter’s beliefs. A lot of the evidence is contradictory and keeps getting retracted and overturned.

    I personally don’t find the groyper narrative all that convincing, it seems like wishful thinking, but I don’t think it can be entirely ruled out yet.

    Those of us who are politically active been aware of the movement for years. It’s absolutely not some new term.

    It’s not like this kind of violence is exclusive to the left. While left-wing violence is real and shouldn’t be ignored, the claim that all violence is left-wing is simply not true.

    The same day that Kirk was killed, a mass shooting happened in Colorado. The shooter was a neo-nazi. Charlie Kirk has been credited in at least one shooter’s manifesto.

    Every time a far-right guy commits a mass shooting, your side claims that the shooter is a “lone wolf”. Why does this act of violence not get the same treatment?

    Why is every single conservative mass shooting not related to the conservative media ecosystem?

    Folks like Tucker Carlson, Libs of Tiktok, Matt Walsh, spread rhetoric far more violent than anything I’ve seen people on the left say in response this shooting.

    People like that constantly dehumanize others. They openly call for minorities to be removed from society.

    The tendencies you talk about are in no way exclusive to the left.

    (To be clear, I do not condone the killing. It should not have happened. It’s sad that violence has been normalized in this country to this point)
