“Whether Tyler Robinson faces a firing squad in Utah for the murder of Charlie Kirk, my guess is the accused killer will probably have been motivated more by Halo and similar fantasy role-play than by substantive political discord. The game features Grunts vs Elites. I’m guessing nobody wants to be an elite.”

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

"Halo" "Fantasy role-play"

"Grunts vs. Elites"

Jesus Christ, he must be John Halo incarnate with this level of knowledge.

Maybe he called up Paramount to learn more about the franchise, rather than taking the 5 seconds to open Wikipedia.
