    “There is one person responsible for what happened here and that person is now in custody and will be charged soon and will be held accountable,” he adds

    I’m totally expecting a fair trial now.
    What a relief…

      Apparently he confessed to his dad, and his dad did his best Daniel Jones impression and immediately called the cops.

          His dad is a Morman sheriff in Utah…

          Besides his skin tone being “blank piece of copy paper” that’s likey the main reason he was taken in alive.

          It’s not like he told his “dad” so much as turned himself in.

          There’s going to be a lot of pressure for him to plea out, that way the government can say whatever they want. He might even get Epstein’s in jail, they’ve already committed to a narrative, they can’t let him take the stand or worse start giving interviews about why he did it

              That was before they knew who he was…

              They want a Black transexual with blue hair, and they got a white suburban kid from a prominent Mormon and Republican family…

              Maga is scared shitless of the Mormon, if they break away Republicans are fucked without Utah.

              And their more loyal to a random member of their own church than to trump. trump is going to quickly pivot to wanting everyone to stop paying attention by Monday.

                Also could destabilize Republican influence in Arizona and Idaho as well, while their influence in Arizona is waning slightly their influence in Idaho especially southern Idaho is still extremely strong.

              Rock and a hard place…

              If he says he’s LGBTQ, the church disowns him and Utah will push for death penalty again.

              His best bet is to double down on Mormonism and say he did it for all the reasons Kirk and MAGA go against the Mormon teachings.

              Which again, worst case scenario for trump because he can’t afford to lose Utah and the Mormon church controls Utah politics.

              We’re gonna have to see how the next week goes, but this could lead to a huge fracture ahead of midterms. Republicans have a 6 seat lead, and 4 seats in Utah are up in 2026.

    Now comes the question of how much do you trust the three letter agencies run by a admitted partisan and law enforcement that has fumbled and spread misinformation throughout the investigation.

        Which is why he’s giving the fucking Medal of Freedom to that dead fascist mouthpiece.

    The markings on the bullets described by authorities indicate that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was steeped in online culture and included references to the Antifa , or the anti-fascist, movement.

    A fired shell casing was inscribed with “notices bulges OwO what’s this?” - a reference to a “copypasta” - a piece of text that is repeated over and over again, often to troll people online.

    Authorities say one unfired casing had the words “Hey fascist! Catch!” and three down arrows - a common symbol used to represent the anti-fascist movement.

    A second casing had the lyrics to a song “Bella Ciao” inscribed on it. The song honours WWII-era partisans of the Italian resistance who fought Nazi Germany.

    The third unfired casing was inscribed with the words “If you read this, you are gay lmao” - again an apparent reference to online trolling humour.

      From another source about the arrows:

      Law enforcement officials revealed that Robinson inscribed the sequence up arrow, right arrow, down arrow, down arrow, down arrow on casings, which may be a reference to the co-op shooter Helldivers 2. In the game, the code triggers a 500KG bomb, one of the most destructive stratagems available to players.

      So you know that RF Brain worm Jr is going to have a field day with this true or not.

    What kind of horrible parent turns their kid in during THIS administration. The ignorant fools have probably gotten their own son killed.

    Kash Patel talking about how the FBI and the federal government drove this thing to completion, but, although he perpetually looks as if he has, that dumb fucker clearly couldn’t drive his thumb up his arse.

    This administration is a joke.

    He notes there were inscriptions on bullet casings, including one which read: “Notices bulges owo”.

    There was a comment yesterday maybe in the megathread? Gotta find it.

    Whomever the actual shooter is, y’all better make him a hero like Luigi. Your heroes shouldn’t need strongly defined jawlines.

      Nope. He’s a terminally online edgelord lol. All my bets are on him being a new age white nationalist. Groyper, probably. Fascists always turn on eachother and see violence as a normalized answer to their grievances.
