Screenshot of a Tumblr post by sonicguillotine:For the past few years any time there’s a public shooting, political or not, fascists immediately begin pushing a narrative that the shooter had some connection to the trans community, anarchist or communist politics, to migrant or Black communities. These are always tenuous claims but now with multiple racist lynchings following Kirk’s death, it’s time to recognize the danger of these kinds of mythmakings. They are calls to violence.
Yeah. It's just as fucked up for the left to do it too and it's weird that people are blind to that fact. The kid is still alive, there's no reason to speculate about his politics when someone can literally just ask him.
It doesn't really matter anyway unless he was part of some conspiracy and if that's the case why go after Kirk and not someone that actually matters?
