The info was not intentionally put out. It was an internal memo.

A "source" leaked it.

Someone then made a weird logic jump from the limited info and posted this. Its a 9mm casing. A 30-06 was used, and Turan does not appear to even manufacture that caliber.

It also looks like there were a variety of messaging found, but most of it seems to be meme level.

It's going to be pretty unsatisfying for a lot of people if it turns out he was just some 4chan edgelord who did it for "teh lulz."

Wouldn't be that surprised if it was done for teh lulz actually. That's the state we're in right now. There's a certain subgroup who get off on causing chaos for chaos's sake. No real political ideology behind it.

I wouldn't count on anything at the moment. Unless officially confirmed by investigators, I would assume the first version of any detail we hear about this suspect in the first 24 hours is bullshit.

All we know for certain is that he was turned in by his own father(or a friend of his father), his family is Mormon and most of them are Republicans. We don't know his political leanings at this time, though. If it is political, I wouldn't be surprised if even though he may be conservative, he wasn't happy with the march toward fascism the current administration is orchestrating.

Let's check on how Trump is doing. He must be bereft at the loss of his good friend Charlie Ki-

Yea, Kirk was useful for getting him into power. He's in power now, doesn't really need him anymore. Trump will just use his name from time to time to drum up fear in order to maintain power.

Nick Fuentes and his followers are some of the worst people.

But be skeptical of everything right now. There is no publicly accessible corroboration of Shuster's claim there. He could be right, but only he knows where he got that from. If Utah officials are really telling him something they're not telling the public, that's a serious scoop that deserves more than a tweet.

Yea, evidence that's been released seems to point to him being in that subculture. Wouldn't really surprise me. The rhetoric coming out of far-right spaces tends to paint anyone who isn't as extreme as they are as the enemy. Hard to believe that Charlie Kirk wasn't extreme enough for them, though. Guess he wasn't anti-Semitic enough.

Yup everything currently should be taken with a grain of salt as its still fluid.

Currently the only thing I've seen officially released is

At a press conference announcing Robinson’s arrest Friday, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said a family member told investigators, “Robinson had become more political in recent years,” and expressed dislike for Kirk, who Robinson said was “full of hate” and “spreading hate.”

I saw somewhere (probably APNews) about the engravings on the shell casings. If those are Groyper slogans, then he is Groyper or pretends to be or the officials are pretending he is and I don't see how any of those make sense other than him being Groyper.

My state's attorney general is literally asking citizens to report educators who try and 'rationalize' Kirk's death. Which knowing that ******* piece of jive Rokita basically means anyone who points out Kirk's own ******* words. I hate him more than I hate Gov. Braun.


Meanwhile Fox New's Kilmeade: We should euthanize mentally ill people who commit crimes. "Just kill 'em"


I hate this country.
