We don't really know how he leaned. The left was told he was a gopher while the right was told he was a leftist.

I think the whole gopher (edit: groyper) thing was the CIA doing damage control to avoid an other Luigi situation.

    the CIA doing damage control to avoid an other Luigi situation.

    I’m just going to sit and look at this for a while, then shake my head and walk away.

    I don't know of anything solid that points to him being a right winger. Most of it seems to be based on what his family believes and ignores the rest. Doesn't help that his social media presence was scrubbed.

    True.

    Not an American myself, so I have to add an extra opening here

    Some kids shoot up their entire class or even younger classes

    We don't ask their political stance there per sé, we can also just say they went nuts and picked an easy target

    I think maybe this kid just picked a really good target, and maybe he was trying to find a new group by doing what he did. Maybe it was atoning for his parents and his own beliefs.

    Lots of maybe, but again; he is just a killer in the end. Why make it political

    Umm... you think the CIA planted evidence to paint him as a right-winger, to avoid blaming it on the left...?

    Are you being sarcastic? What world do you live in?

    What evidence though? All they did was tell the media which way to spin it. I don't know of anything that actually points to him being a groyper. His family said he was tired of Kirk spreading hate (his words) and he had a trans girlfriend. That doesn't scream groyper to me.

    He was painted as the enemy to both sides btw, as a right-winger to us and as a lefty to conservatives.

    I think it's to avoid copy cats maybe but also, I'm not entirely certain he did it. And if he didn't do it, then it's convenient to have him the villain so nobody looks too hard or pays much attention to the trial, compared to Luigi's trial for instance.

    Basically, he is now part of the out group for everyone, and anyone bringing up inconsistencies is by extension also part of that out group and can be ignored.

    In any case, I'm just glad he did it lol.
