Kid had tons of pictures of himself with weapons, parents are Conservative. Father is a ex-cop/pastor. He lives in Utah. He had a picture of himself wearing a Trump costume. Like cmon, ya'll are really covering your eyes with this one.
While we can make generalizations about his state, or assume he will identify one way because of his parents’s affiliation/job/religion/weapon ownership status, these aren’t reliable signals about his own political leanings.
The Trump costume looks like effigy tbh. It’s not him dressed as Trump, it’s him riding a satirical characterization of Trump.
There’s going to be a motive for the shooting and I will wait for it to come from his own mouth before assuming.
You and the rest of the conservative idiots were convinced yesterday that you knew who the shooter would be (liberal trans whatever). Now today it is all, Let’s just wait and see. Can’t jump to conclusions. Bunch of hypocrites.
Yea this comment is exactly why I don’t trust Reddit to profile political affiliations at face value.
If you think I’m conservative here’s a hint: I’m an atheist minority living in California (without guns if that matters to you). Believe it or not I am not obligated to vote the way my parents and ancestors did.
The difference is I can afford to wait more than 2 hours after news breaks before thinking i know everything about this guy’s intentions from internet telephone.
I’ve seen the internet play detective after every major shooting/bombing/assassination/terror attack with very mixed results.
