I don’t see how this 26 year old did this alone and was remarkably composed and competent for a first time killer all for it to end this way.
It sounds like you will forever be in a state of confusion. Good luck with that.

I think y'all are jumping the gun a little bit on the whole communist/anticapitalist line.

This guy had lots of posts on his Twitter about how porn and poor physical health was causing decreased birth rates. He had posts shitting on atheism and Dawkins. I think this is going to go a lot deeper than "he was a (right/left) wing radical!" The guy was clearly very intelligent


He sounds like the stereotypical "populist" right which is really professed (bot granola-y) social conservatism wrapped around economic leftism.

Aren't the liberals at all Ivy league schools preach against corporate America and capitalism?
Yes, that's why the Davos conference might just as well be called a Tulane reunion.

I can’t tell if you’re playing a bit to try and out crazy OML or if this particular case hit a chord and has you feeling a certain way. Very interesting.

Things are going to get messier before any sort of real realignment shows up and settles everything down, IMO.

I had a belief that the background of this guy was going to disappoint a lot of people characterizing him as a working-class guy crushed by the system.

Of course…they always are. I suspect we will be able to connect this to Covid, Biden, Ukraine, and Hollywood pervs by midnight

Eating at a McDonalds in Pennsylvania several days later, still carrying the gun, a fake ID and a handwritten note railing against insurance companies?

Something is mentally off about this guy. That's just too many obvious mistakes rolled up into one situation.

Maybe so, but I'm also seeing (unconfirmed) tweets that he had back surgery due to an injury a few months ago. I wonder if he got denied and it sent him down a rabbit hole of radicalization?
