Showing Original Post only (View all)Have you folks seen the change in narrative on the engravings today? [View all]
I've been reading the NYT, who full throat shared the WSJ's reporting about the pro trans and antifa etchings on the shells initially.
Today they're printing a different narrative.
Officials said they found, left with the gun, unfired ammunition that had been engraved with jokes and slang from internet memes as well as the words, hey fascist! CATCH!
From this same article I noticed a change in how he was supposed to have spoken out about Kirk. coming to the university at a family dinner. The first readings made it sound as if he were a lone wolf in the family who had went leftist.
This is today's wording:
Mr. Robinson had recently spoken with a family member about the fact that Mr. Kirk was going to hold an event in Utah, according to a police affidavit, and he and his relative discussed why they didnt like him and the viewpoints he had."
It makes it more apparent he and the family he was speaking to shared an opinion of Kirk and he wasn't some rogue black sheep.
Also of interest is this:
Mr. Brooksby said that Mr. Robinson was generally considered a quiet pupil when they were growing up in the conservative St. George area, but one day in high school, the topic of the 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, came up during lunch. Few there knew exactly what had happened, but Mr. Robinson was sure of himself.
This was when he was in HS and one has to be pretty entrenched in politics to have an opinion on that event to my mind. So, maybe he didn't just become so political?
We're witnessing the beginning of the change from radical leftist to blaming it on the internet and gaming culture is my best guess.
Here's a gift link for those who'd like to read the article

OP
Calling the roommate out as trans is nothing at all like saying Robinson could be a Groyper.

Speculation based off his dumb etchings is not the same as doxing the roommate

You can google it. It's in the Daily Mail. (Has pics of roommate) For what it's worth.
