Shooter was just another terminally online edgelord. Was vaguely into Ron Paul when he was 16. Has a social media account with a communist meme profile pic. Trying to be less of a conspiracy theorist but the anti ICE stuff sounds like Patel told an agent over the phone to "write anti ICE stuff"...
I know this is a weird take but the way the Trump administration is taking advantage of Charlie's death is genuinely sad? They are going to rape the constitution in his name, basically. Yes he was a mouthpiece and would be going along with this if some other right wing influencer had been killed...
