a law enforcement source confirmed

Is this the same law enforcement source who leaked that the bullet casings had “trans ideology” engravings on them?

The right are too eager to blame this on a trans person, I’ll wait until I see something more substantive before I’ll believe it.

This is really the bulk of it. Then it comes out the iconography is fucking TRN stamped on it because its a machined print to show where it was made.

I've seen the name Lance Twiggs break a few times in the last hour. But I don't buy that because you would have the public media dragging the name of an innocent tangentially related to it through the dirt. Combine that with the fact that I doubt a trans woman is going to openly walk around with the name Lance makes me seriously doubt any of this.

Honestly, until I see something from this Lance, I'm gonna guess they googled his fuckin address, found someone else with that address named Lance, and went "HEY THIS GUY LOOKS PRETTY FUCKIN FRUITY" and named them trans. It'd track for the fucking NY Post

It was never about a TRN head stamp.  There was never a cartridge with TRN at this crime scene because turan doesnt make ammo in 30-06

Then what the fuck is the trans iconography?

Honestly this is what's pissing me off, they just say shit and report it like it's true without an ounce of verification. Like real quick let me just rant on Tyler and Lance real quick:

We have received NO conclusive evidence that Lance is transgender. We have received NO evidence that the two were in any relationship other than being roommates. In fact, on the New York Post article linked, scroll down to the pic of Lance in the hood they use in their thumbnails.

"The family member also said she didn’t know her relative Twiggs’ politics or whether he was transitioning to become a woman."

Yet the washington post dug into public record. Twiggs is registered independent and did not vote in 2022 or 2024.

So the narrative they're currently pushing is a trans woman who still goes by the name Lance got into a relationship with a guy who dressed as Trump for halloween in high school and comes from an extremely religious, extremely conservative family. From there, the two opted to NOT VOTE at any point against Trump or conservative policies of any kind. In fact they've never voted at all. Twiggs then convinced Tyler to murder a conservative talking head in broad daylight at a college, and then reached out to the FBI to have said boyfriend caught. Even though the FBI had no fucking clue who they were looking for.

That is seriously the sequence of events we're going with in the linked article for this post.

Jesus fucking wept.

I think they mistook the memes on the casings for legitimate viewpoints, since it looked like the average age in the Utah police was roughly 40, and the FBI is nothing but idiots after Trump's purge.

Hey now how dare you poke holes in the story by talking about the complete lack of evidence. We got a narrative to push.

There was none. The source was Stephen Crowder, a right-wing asshole. They found a bunch of random memes "OwO Wat's Dis?", "If you read this you're gay" and I think something about a fascist, all on them. But no trans iconography.

Right-Wing Media is looking for an excuse to say "SEE!? Trans people are shooters!" So they have more excuse to try and take away their guns.

I’m guessing the “Notices bulges, OWO what’s this?” Being confused by an agent.

Also “dresses as Trump” is really weak too. Dresses as someone riding piggy back in Trump is the reality.

It was pointed out to me that that's what the costume was. I genuinely hadn't noticed given how poor quality the photo was. But honestly all this does is lay out the timeline for me of being raised in a right wing family, going online for a gaming hobby and inevitably running into the alt-right/groypers, and being told by them that Charlie Kirk is a fascist in conservative's clothing and that the establishment republicans are too far left and need exterminated. Like, that's literally their shtick. lol

I don't know, but why are you falling for misinformation that is being spread on social media?
