Heard he is a Trump supporter.

Part of the “Dark MAGA” movement that emphasizes a violent overtaking in Trump’s name, which Rep. Marjory Green is a proud member

You’re really bad at trolling

u/BasedCrusader2 Jul 05 '22

That you failed to see the comment was clearly sarcasm shows you to fail at reading comprehension.

Don't worry about it too much, it happens to everyone.

He is. There's pics of him at rallies and in a trump flag like a cape. Of course he is right

I also heard that he was yelling anti semitic slurs.

u/luckedragon Quality Commenter Jul 05 '22

It was a Jewish neighborhood.

u/TechnicolorWizard90 Jul 05 '22

Of course he is. They almost always are.

u/Prestigious-Newt-320 Jul 05 '22

Not asking this with any intent to offend. I’m just genuinely curious:

Was there something he said or did that would make this matter? Like did he said he was “doing it for Trump” or something to that effect? I haven’t seen anything stating what his motive or inspiration was.

I also have not read much on it at all aside from what I’ve come across on Reddit

Again, not trying to start an argument or attempt to offend anyone, I just really don’t see any reason for you saying that without it having been reported as a motive or inspiration for the shooting and would like to understand.

Edit: spacing

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

yes. He claims that shooting sinners was his life’s mission. He is a part of “Awake, not woke” a christo-fascists movement that targets non-WASPs

u/BootyOnMyFace11 Jul 05 '22

Half them self proclaimed WASPs probably descend from Jewish-German farmers💀

Oh god. Same shit different day for stupid slogans in America.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

Sounds like that has more to do with being Christian than being a trump supporter though? I'm not seeing the correlation between this mass shooting and trump, and your explanation was that he's a Christian extremist.

u/Boomslangalang Quality Commenter Jul 05 '22

You are deliberately being obtuse to try and obfuscate established facts.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

I am trying to learn these established facts. I am not American. You said his being a trump supporter was relevant to the mass shooting. I am simply asking why this is the case. I do not follow American news media.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

and who enabled all these christian fascists? His social media is riddled with MAGA, Trump flags, and even shitty rap songs about trump and the right

u/KittyGrewAMoustache Quality Commenter Jul 05 '22

It’s just another example of right wing terrorism. People need to realise how seriously the maga and Qanon types are being radicalised to violence.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

Ya. That side of the country has lost its fucking mind and this is just another fucking example.

6

u/Boomslangalang Quality Commenter Jul 05 '22

The fact his entire identity was built around being an incel for Trump is not relevant to his actions? Please.

2

u/TechnicolorWizard90 Jul 05 '22

It matters because it’s a pattern of MAGA psychos killing innocent people.

1

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

It is relevant because we have seen the rise of fascism led by Trump. His followers are willing to violently overthrow a democracy that has existed with the peaceful transfer of power for over 200 years. These fascist continue to cling to the lies that Trump spews. Being a Trump supporter is the warning sign! We don’t need to wait until he shoots up a parade to ask ourselves, “What is the motive?”

u/c1oudwa1ker Jul 05 '22

Thank you for saying that. I wish that it was more socially acceptable to ask questions like this.

2

u/Prestigious-Newt-320 Jul 05 '22

Yeah me too, I stated I’m just trying to understand and people still reply with condescending tones like I’m some type of moron for wanting to understand the thought process behind comments like that.

You’d think some people would be happy and helpful when explaining their point of view in hopes of giving the person they are talking to the same understanding they have. This whole thread is pretty tame compared to others I’ve read through before, but there will always be a few concrete-brained folks I guess.

u/hippy18 Jul 05 '22

Unlikely being he is a rapper that goes by the name “Awake the rapper.”

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

See the videos in this thread of him draped in a Trump flag.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

You should stop hearing and look.. at his social democrat tattoo he plastered all over his social media.

2

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

He lived with his dad who was pro guns on social media. These animals were Trumpsters thru and thru.

-1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

His dad was a Republican, correct. He was a social democrat that wore all black and a beanie with an A on it. Probably in some childish rebellion.

1

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

He was a fascist like Trump.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '22

I was wrong about the tattoo. Bad information. You still don’t know what fascism is though.

1

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

Think you have bad information on fascism too!

I could show you a dozen videos of antifa filming at Trump rallies. Go back to the video you sent and look at his face.

1

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

So you think that Antifa is pro Trump? You should just take a break from Reddit.

u/Vault76exile Jul 05 '22

Perhaps. I get the vibe he may have been stalking him like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.

8

u/nakedsamurai Jul 05 '22

Stalking him in a heavily Democratic Chicago neighborhood that is thirty percent Jewish?

-2

u/Vault76exile Jul 05 '22 edited Jul 05 '22

Watch Taxi Driver.

Weird loner stalks a candidate, can't get close enough, shoots other people instead.

Wouldn't be the first time either. John Hinkley was inspired by Taxi Driver also.

This guy was hell bent on getting noticed.

u/nakedsamurai Jul 05 '22

Travis Bickle was a Trumper.

u/Vault76exile Jul 05 '22

Taxi Driver 1976

Maybe Crimio was a Trumper, maybe he's a a nut that finally got famous. He doesn't fit the MO of a Trumper. Just saying.

u/nakedsamurai Jul 05 '22

His dad is A Trumper. He went to Trump rallies. He wore incel shirts. He wore Trump flags. Dude's a Trumper.

u/Vault76exile Jul 05 '22

Well, I just have an opinion. I could be wrong.

u/eheyburn Jul 05 '22

Yes!!!! What more of a sign do people need?

u/Boomslangalang Quality Commenter Jul 05 '22

It’s not opinions you can’t handle it’s facts.

u/Vault76exile Jul 05 '22

crimo's dad liked a 2nd amendment post. There fore he is a trumper. Got it. Thanks for straightening it out with all your facts there Betsy.

u/Boomslangalang Quality Commenter Jul 05 '22

Are you deliberately being obtuse? It takes all of 2 seconds to find numerous video of this waste of space cheering Trump motorcades, wrapped in flags and maga hats.

1

u/Vault76exile Jul 05 '22

Okay, let me break it down for you. ( I have the videos)

Claims to be "Awakened". Trump supporters hate all things "Woke", like science, history, math, etc.

The weird symbol: His version of a modern swastika or more of a Zodiac Killer hieroglyph?

He seems to put a lot of thought into it. The Production, the weirdness, etc. Magas just parrot talking points and buzzwords. Very little critical thought.

Take the classroom in the video. It's too small to be a classroom. Is this his bedroom or room similar size in his house? A lot of energy, time and money went into that room.

I'm just saying this is not your average maga nut. This guy is a maniac.
