Joshua Jahn was a registered Independent

[Quiet Em]

he did vote in 2024. His brother says he didn't believe he had strong feelings about ICE and wasn't interested in politics on either side.

4. His brother also said Joshua would not be able to make any shots like that

Interesting....

5. How does anyone know he made any shots (i.e. he hit what he meant to)?

7. If the sentiment on the bullet is accurate, maybe he didn't hit his targets

I will wait for more information before making up my mind. The message on one bullet feels hokey, maybe he wrote it seriously, maybe he wrote it as a joke or to get attention, maybe a law enforcement officer wrote it. I assume he will have some social media or other data that will be parsed for a better picture of his motivation.

6. I'm guessing reports the shooter was "Antifa" and a "Communist" were a bit premature.

11. I've seen one online "news" source...

...that I would not consider at all reliable that had a screenshot of his Facebook page...Communist iconography is shown, but I won't link to it because again, not what I would consider a good source, especially in early hours.

His mother's Facebook page is still up, and ghouls are trolling her on it...I hope someone takes it down/locks it up soon.

***edited to add: the unreliable source claims it is his Facebook page, no way of knowing for certain at this point.

8. How did he get a gun? How did Charlie Kirk shooter get a gun ?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

10. Charlie Kirk shooter...

...used a gun that was or had been owned by his grandfather.

9. Don't think Texas voters register by party. If he was register in Oklahoma, they do register by Party.

12. Right, in Texas no party registration

If you vote in a primary, you are considered to have affiliated as a D or an R until the next primary rolls around.

[Quiet Em]

13. He was residing in Durant, Oklahoma
