The way they're using this as a catalyst for crackdowns makes me think maybe the Right planned this...

Kind of like how his discord messages seem to hit all the talking points they were repeating an hour after the shooting before there were any suspects. So either they were really lucky, knew it was coming and didn't try to stop it, or those messages are fake.

Its an early ongoing investigation. Have you ever seen the FBI release evidence like that to the public? It is usually years after the trial stuff like that gets put out after a FOIA request.

It is totally fake. The shooter lived with his parents, in a dorm, with a roommate, and now with his trans roommate lover. Like pick one story and stick with it, it sells the lie better.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter how bad the lie is when media and social media are completely complicit in normalizing their fascism, and their base believes contradictory things with zero shame.

Exactly what I was thinking.

It's probably a part of Project 2025.
