There’s an absurd yarn that the shooter was a far right groyper. Hopefully this and the indictment put that fever dream to rest

We have consensus now that Robinson's roommate was a "romantic partner"; this was clearly not a cisheteronormative relationship; citations from relatives that Robinson's political views had recently moved leftward and specifically oriented around LGBT (and whatever other letters you wish to append) rights; and Robinson saw Kirk as hateful.

The "groyper" narrative appears completely incompatible with the evidence.
