No, it's somewhat more disturbing.
Kirk was outside of the shooter's in group. In Fascism those in the out group need to shut up and get out of the way. It doesn't matter to the shooter that Kirk was an ultraconservative bigoted lunatic, he wasn't conservative enough. Since he was still talking and not getting out of the way, the Fascist believes he has an obligation to fix that problem.
And what's stranger, is that there is no doubt in my mind that Kirk thought the same thing about Fuenes. But they would both agree that if I had any public speaking ability (or any speaking ability for that matter) I would definitely be more important to sanitize first.
Fascists are elementary school boys left without supervision. That's all they really are.
As motivation for the killing, what you're saying is correct. But when it comes to protesting in the streets, they're going to go after their usual token minorities, regardless of who did the actual killing. Hence why they're trying real hard to label an obvious groyper as "left-leaning" and pretending he had a trans roommate.
Honest question: Can you please explain how he is an "obvious groyper"? I would like actual evidence, not just vibes. Everyone is saying he's not on their side and he has some characteristics of both, so what are you basing that idea on?
Well, I'm not going to compile you a full list of sources, because that's more retracing of my steps than I have time for.
You would start suspecting something was up pretty early on, when his trumper family stated that he had become "more political" recently. Trumpers absolutely would have called it out specifically if he had become more left-leaning, so the vagueness was a big hint.
The inscriptions on the bullet casings are all groyper memes, including "hey fascist, catch this", which references the game Helldivers 2, a game where you fight fascists, but which has been co-opted by fascists.
The other background info we've been told which suggests groyper are his Halloween costumes, one dressed as trump and one as Pepe the frog doing a slav squat in a track suit. Dressing up like that doesn't exactly scream leftist. It's too risky to even do ironically.
So far I've seen one witness account saying he was saying leftist things, but this was later retracted due to the witness suspecting he confused him with a different person. Someone also claimed he had a trans roommate, but that guy had just dressed up in a hoodie and asked an AI to draw him, and it drew a female furry or something. Apparently that's all it takes to be labeled trans in Trump country.
Sorry I don't have time for bringing receipts, but you should be able to search up sources for this stuff pretty easily I'd imagine.
