The evidence released so far suggest Tyler Robinson could potentially be linked to a movement like the Order of Nine Angles or 764.

All we know really is the evidence the FBI has released, consisting of bullet casing engravings. These engravings are straight up groyper rhetoric. The fact that the dude "loves guns" isn't the point of the article at all if you read beyond the headline.

Just STFU. Or you're no better than the conservatives screaming, "Hang him high!"

Uhhh...do you really think that? You think me posting this very preliminary review of available evidence is the same as conservatives calling for open war against anyone to their left and the end of democracy? You think that's the same?!

Calling the bullet casing engravings "straight up groyper rhetoric" feels like grasping at straws.

To me, it reads like a joke from a 22 year old troll who thought it'd be funny to have these memes repeated all over the news rather than a manifesto explaining his motivations.

Edit: I read some more info and am now less confident in the stand I took in this comment
