Source tells NBC News: ‘Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive’

they were blaming him every step of the way that it was a left winger, a transgender connection. they dont want to admit that he was an even more right winger than kirk that shot him.

    What are your thoughts on his roommate, who was transitioning/his girlfriend?

    Please don't take this like the memes "is anybody nearby trans?!?!" But the few podcasts I listen to (and trust to be more or less objective) reported on this, and while it an incredible leap of logic (and absolutely immoral, wrong and disgusting) to then decide Trans people are a terrorist group, does it not imply his ideology wasn't the ultra right winger killing someone for being less right wing?

    I probably will regret posting this because frankly it's too depressing and the truth doesn't even matter in regards to the outcomes.... The USA is not OK.

    I haven't seen anything to substantiate the fact their roommate was trans or they were dating. The only evidence we have is government agencies handing in alleged texts/a note; and they already wrongly arrested 2 people before the main killer was finally brought in (though one of them did falsely claim to be the killer, at least according to the government.)

    This also all happened while the governemnt has been trying to strip rights from trans individuals. So it certainly seems way too convient for the US Gov to believe it just because they said so.

    At least, thats my thoughts. Though I also wasn't asked lol

    This article mentions his roommate/romantic partner, and much later in the article it does say they are trans (later makes sense cause it shouldn't f-ing matter)

    I am aware that at this point all "evidence" that isn't publicly verifiable (his Facebook relationships? Multiple friends verifying, ect.) is super suspect as we sadly know this government and the authorities involved will be bending every truth exactly how they please. But that's the info we have right now.

    Believe it or not, there is actually a subsect of groypers and incels that are really into forced feminization. Basically, they have gone so far into the misogynistic rabbit hole that they have looped back around to “I’d rather date a dude that I pushed into being fem, because then I don’t need to deal with women.” It’s a kink/power thing, where they get off on the idea of being the masc in the relationship.

    But also, the only thing I’ve actually seen about the roommate has been the (almost certainly faked) messages that the FBI released. Like just reading the messages, it sounds like they got a cop to type them out. And given the current administration’s focus on framing transgender people as violent extremists, (combined with Patel’s obvious willingness to go along with whatever Trump wants), I’m hesitant to actually believe those messages.
