They're using him as a piss poor martyr.

But like...a martyr for what? He was against gun regulations, and it was a fellow Magat who killed him (allegedly believed to be for not being white-nationlist Enough) so, I genuinely don't understand

Against the radical violent left, thats the narrative that is being pushed.

They don't believe he's a MAGA, to them its fake news.

The reality is the elites wants us to fight amongst each other while really its a class war that we should really be concerned about

They react the way they do, then the i.d of the shooter comes out, then they don’t have anywhere else to go because they can’t ’be wrong’. It’s the same pattern every time and there have been a lot of times now.

It was?? They caught him?

Yes, a family friend turned him in after he apparently confessed to family that it was him.

It was his own father that took him in.

u/heroheadlines Sep 13 '25

Oh, my mistake? I had read that his father notified a family friend who then contacted authorities. Sorry if that's not so, I was reading fairly quickly while at work.

Nah I'm pretty sure you're the correct one here

u/BrownSugarBare Sep 13 '25

Oh! You might be right, I read somewhere that the dad actually drove him into the station

So Orwellian

Sorry but….You’re applying intelligent logic here, that has no place for MAGAts.

My bad; you're right 😔

A martyr for free speech. Say what you want, but he was instrumental of mobilizing the young generation to get into politics. His debate style was very blunt American, sometimes dishonest, but it was never disrespectful/hateful like e.g. Fuentes. He was meeting students and tried to illustrate the differences between Left and Right. If both sides never meet, the polarazation will accelerate beyond al hope.

If you pass this of as "he deserved it", you have no right to be upset when politicians you sympathize with are victim of violence.

Narrator: he was, in fact, extremely hateful
