    It’s funny how he mostly disappeared from the public eye after getting arrested. It’s as if he was less convenient as a scapegoat given his right-wing beliefs

      being right wing, dispel the illusions that is a left winger doing it, it doesnt create good sound bites fox news, they were trying very hard to make him a leftist maniac. and also trying to not connect the dots that it was fuentes influencing it, and right wing on right wing violence.

      plus they dont want it to make it seem like all mass shooters/ shooters are right wing nutties, which they are.

      I don’t think the state has great evidence to convince anyone it’s actually him either. In discovery, they’ve only shown blurry photos of someone sorta looking like Tyler but in two different sets of clothes, the timeline is something wacky, the rifle doesn’t exist in the photos allegedly of Tyler, ballistics don’t match exit wound to caliber of rifle found. So it seems like they’ll just bury it till 2028 and use him to boost voter turnout.

        Ballistic science isn’t actually that great, so that’s not surprising. The thing they really have on him is the confession, so that’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.

      They told the conservative subs that he was a die hard left winger, and then told the leftist spaces that he was a groyper. Then they basically hid him for a year.

      There is something going on and it’s 100% not because of his right wing beliefs. As far as I can tell, he was dating a trans girl and his family explicitly said he hated Charlie Kirk. I haven’t seen anything pointing to him being right wing other than being raised in a right wing household.

      I personally don’t even think he did it.

        True yeah. It’s extremely strange when put next to the treatment of Luigi. You’d think they’d go even crazier making an example of someone who killed their Conservative lord and savior compared to a random insurance CEO

        Yeah is nuts also what happened to getting speedy and just trail 2028 that bullshit. Definitely going use him as the left wing boogyman for their presidential run. After all Kirk was being groomed for his own presidential run if I heard sources correctly.
