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.
