    It’s too early to tell his current political affiliation or motivation. The right is saying he was dating his trans roommate and pissed at Kirk’s anti-trans stance. The left is saying he was so far right that he believed Kirk was too liberal. Everything is speculation. The only people with thorough knowledge of his motives are the investigators.

      I think you give to much credit to the investigators. Most of the decent ones got fired and this episode shows that competence isn’t their greatest asset.

        Two things can be true though. The investigators might not be competent but they still have more knowledge on the motives than random people online who seem to only be parroting the information that they’ve read and agree with.

          The fact that those same investigators are claiming the guy who turned himself in is being uncooperative seems to indicate he’s not letting them slap a left wing ideology into his right wing groyper shit

      in any case it’s a safe bet to say he’s far right because something like 90% of american terrorism cases are far right

      Well, one of those is base speculation by a guy who was praying it was done by an immigrant and the other is informed speculation based off hard evidence that had been released publicly. I’ll let you figure out which is which.

        Well, it looks like the right was correct based off of the text messages.
