Lot of people have Maga family. Doesn't make em maga.

Yeah I doubt the guy is apart of MAGA, but are they even sure that's the guy yet?

Edit: apparently he was

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Was he apart from it, or a part of it?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

If the story being reported is true it sounds like he was an apolitical kid raised in maga who began seeing the wrongs of maga and leaning antifascist. If so it's likely that maga primed him to do violence but antifascism gave him the trigger and the target.

That tracks given how basically every major political shooter or mass shooter with any background on the left also had a right wing background, with the arguable on every point exception of Luigi (may not have done it, may not be considered left, his ties to the right can be questioned)

I bet 'apart' is just like 'incase' and 'atleast'

Except it's already a word

Seems pretty conclusive. He matches the physicality of he suspect in the footage, was wearing the same shirt, his prints were on the weapon and he confessed, so...

You shouldn't doubt it, he's a Fuentes fan.

  • Everything on the casings is Helldiver's 2 memes and groyper memes
  • Trump costume
  • Pepe meme outfit (Adidas hoodie crouching)
  • Fuentes and Kirk had issues going back nearly a decade, so that fits.

There's more, but that's what I recall off the top of my head. On my phone, but some tabs open on the desktop I can grab later if you'd like. This should be pretty easy to search for with his name for plenty of sources though.

I saw the pepe thing, but I didn't know that was a maga thing. I thought it was just a high frog. I figured the Outfit was to fit into the crowd. The helldivers thing I saw. But I haven't seen anything about Fuentes

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 6 points 1 day ago

This is all Fuentes territory.

Pepe the frog got co-opted by the alt right pretty early ( creator wasn't happy about that).

I'm not referring to his outfit day of, I'm referring to him in the tracksuit to match the Pepe meme (and specifically a groyper meme).

Helldiver's 2 memes are big in those circles.

I didn't come from a maga family but they became maga. Now they don't talk to me. It's been ugly and awful. Very common for children to hold polar opposite views from their parents. I don't think it means anything relevant here.

Even the ones posing in a "Team Trump" t-shirt?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You might want to zoom in a bit more there buddy, that's not the kid in the picture. That's some prick who got shot in the neck.

They all look alike. I just saw the trout mouth.

And I'm not your buddy, pal.
