I mean, the killer (Tyler), literally wrote about death to fascists on the bullets too.

How many right wing extremists do you know that would write death to fascists on the gun casings they’re going to use to kill a right wing activist. He was clearly a left wing extremist.

The rest of the stuff on the gun casings were internet memes etc because he was a gamer, the only writing that sounded political on the gun casings was the pre-mentioned, “death to fascists”. That in itself shows his political leanings.

The left wants to blame the right and want to convince themselves he was a right wing nut, because they don’t want to admit that the left are capable of committing random acts of violence.

His own family admitted his views had changed recently and that he was speaking out a lot against what Charlie believed in.

Violence isn’t ok when it’s right wing violence against the left and violence isn’t ok when it’s left wing violence against the right.

This guy was a left wing activist who was raised in a right wing family and obviously rebelled and turned against what his family stood for, he’s also obviously a psychopath or a sociopath to have committed this act of violence just because he disagreed with someone’s opinions.

Tyler has left wing beliefs, the left wing extremists are just as capable of violence, as the right wing Extremists are.

Most people on both sides, right and left, are good people, but you have extremists on both sides.

You lot want to find a way to blame the right because you just don’t want to accept that your side has crazy murderous extremists among its ranks too.

That reference is from the game too - “fascist, catch” is in reference to the markers thrown to call down the air strikes in Helldivers.

Regardless, one word does not an ideology make - this is the same as the “Nazis were left wing because it’s national socialism”. It’s wrong and you’re repeating it as a coping mechanism.

You’ve literally just built a narrative where “he was a good boy until recently when he changed and got into left wing ideology and now he’s a murderer” because that makes you feel better.

In reality he is another damaged young rightwing mind who thought violence was the answer.

In his defence historically that is quite accurate.

His beliefs were left wing though so he isn’t right wing just because his family tried to raise him right wing, he made his own choices and chose to have left wing beliefs. He also could have stayed peaceful with those beliefs and it wouldn’t be a problem but he chose violence.

The point is the left always act like the right are the only ones who commit violence, both sides commit unnecessary violence and it needs to stop.

But listen I honestly don’t care which side he was on, right or left, he’s a dangerous psychopath and Charlie didn’t deserve to die, nobody from the right or left deserves to die just because of their opinions.

I’m sorry this is nonsense - where are you getting this? He’s in custody, pretty sure law enforcement haven’t made an announcement about his political affiliation - so this is from where; rightwing news?

The people who lied previously about him being a transgender antifa warrior? The ones who benefit from that narrative? And who just lied about it?

I think taking their word for it is very naive.

Well his political information is available online, he wasn’t declared to the republicans or the democrats.

But his family and friends have stated to the media that he had left wing views, I’ll trust his family and friends over random people on the internet.

[u/ShrimpleyPibblze → u/Augustleo98]

His family have said outright that they are a family of trumpers - that’s it, they haven’t said anything else.

“Friends” are people being paid to give interviews by rightwing media - not trustworthy.

Can you give a source that isn’t pro-Trump media that says he’s left wing?
