We need an archive link to this from this guy OR someone else verifying that this is true. I tried to find it, but couldn't. I'll give everyone a half an hour.

I now spent close to an hour trying to figure out Robinson's political leanings, and as of right now the internet simply does not know.

This is the closest:

A public records database shows Robinson’s family resides in Washington, Utah, where Trump garnered support from 75% of voters in the 2024 presidential election. Robinson’s parents have Republican listed as their party affiliation, said public voter registration information, and they are considered active voters (each cast ballots in the 2024 election that gave Trump a second presidency).

Public records also indicated Robinson registered as a voter in Utah in July 2021 but was considered inactive and did not declare an affiliation to any party when he registered.

And then there's a lot of talk about bullet engravings which leave me very confused. How can you engrave "If you're reading this you're gay" - 26 characters onto a single bullet? Even so, the messaging is open to interpretation. We simply do not know yet, and we might never know 100%! He's conflicted, that much seems clear.

IMHO most timely and objective article as of right now: LA Times

30.06 is a large bullet and the words were allegedly written on the cases of the bullets, not the rounds themselves. Good to be skeptical but a fine point Sharpie could get 26 characters on there if you had small handwriting or did multiple lines or whatever.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Yup. And you could probably engrave it with a nail, so the barrier here is pretty low, but it would probably take an hour or so to engrave a simple message because it's kinda hard.

Even so, the messaging is open to interpretation.

Really?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 5 hours ago

I don't know what the commenter meant, but my guess would be that they meant the statement could've been a lighthearted joke or homophobic and it isn't clear which.

[–] source_of_truth@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

If you’re reading this you’re gay

If you’re reading this you’re gay, LMAO...

A very deep sigh of relief was uttered by me, but then turned into a groan of frustration, because all those right wing nutcases who were calling for the heads of all leftists are now again demanding sympathy. Fuck them.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 35 minutes ago

Those who REFUSE to offer empathy, can't reasonably expect it in return.

[–] GhostedIC@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 hour ago

Time to get un-relieved because this is fake (as discussed in other comments).

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

remember, Charlie Kirk did not believe in empathy, so fulfill his wishes and do not have any for him

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Charlie was a pain in the neck.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

At least he started to lean left at the very end

They flop around more than a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

I'm still thinking a lot of those "people" are just "bots"

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

..... Am i the only one who was hoping to find out what the hell a "groyper" is somewhere in this thread? Sounds like something I don't want in my search history.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 9 points 4 hours ago

The Google search data blew up about that topic.

It's a right-wing group by Nick Fuentes. A combination of edge lord shit and believing the the right isn't pushing even harder.

They loved Trump until they didn't. And honestly, it's kind of ironic watching Frankestein's monster go wild.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Nick Fuentes' community. They're just Nazis trolls.

Is kirk beavis or butthead?

MAGA shit: the more right the shooter the more it proves how much the left has brainwashed him. Not a good look for liberals.

By Monday Maga will have "proof" that he was a post transition furry.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 4 hours ago

"You woke libs. Your message of peace, tolerance, and wanting the best out of everyone made this man into a violent murderer."

The thing that really got me is that anyone believes the thing about the bullet casings being engraved at all. That’s the kind of detail that’s just too easy to fabricate, and I can’t believe I bought it when they said the United Healthcare killer engraved HIS bullets. There’s no way for any news source to be sure which bullets actually came from the gun; also, wouldn’t evidence like that be kept secret by the police?

I dunno maybe I’m too paranoid, I just believe literally nothing from any media outlet anymore; they’re all owned by Larry Ellison’s kid

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 hours ago

The WSJ said there was stuff written on the bullets, and shortly afterward walked their statements back, so you are right to be skeptical

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

I don't buy the engraving story, with Luigi it kinda made sense cause it was one word per bullet, and that was logical to me. But a full setence on a bullet? Not buying it.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Does it really matter?

The 30-06 casing is pretty big, and has about 2"/50mm of space before it tapers down to where the bullet is. There's plenty of space for a short message, and you could probably engrave it with a nail. I'm guessing it would take a couple hours to engrave four bullets, which is totally feasible.

We have specific messages, and the benefit to lying about it is incredibly low, so why bother?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The benefit is really low?

Those "engravings" have been used in the last 48 hours to call for a civil war. I'm unsure what you mean with "benefits" to one side being "low" here

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It means the messages aren't specific to any one movement. It seems like wasted effort if they were going to slot him in to any category, since they're open to interpretation as either ultra right wing memes or antifacist memelord quotes. Depending on the news source, they are being interpreted differently.

Or, maybe "they" made it intentionally occlusive to avoid a civil war. Because let's face it, the right were calling for a violence before the casings even came out. Hell, they were calling for violence before the shooting, too.

A groyper is a made up term by maga. Its only purpose is to allow maga to distance itself from when one of their cult members follows through on the rhetoric and hate that maga preaches. That is all this term is. It is so that maga can still be as racist and bigoted as they want to be, but distance themselves from the violent acts of their own people. Do not believe anything else you read about this term.

Edit- typos

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 hours ago

Nick Fuentes and his followers refer to themselves as groypers
