Mass shooting reported at an Independence Day/July 4th parade in Highland Park, Illinois - Reported Casualties: 6 dead, 24 Hospitalized - Suspect in custody

[Neil]

Because white people apparently never kill anything, so it’s always a conspiracy or something

>FEDs are seething they did their job

Literally how do you function?

Anything that looks like a right winger (or anyone with their same beliefs) committing a heinous crime like this OBVIOUSLY means the FBI is behind it. Right wingers can do no wrong, they're all good little patriots! Everything is a muh deep state federal psyop by some bizarrely far liberal/left-wing malevolent force trying to make the trumpies look bad, even when Republicans are the ones in control of the government (see: the right wing response to every school shooting from 2017-2020).

Remember, when something goes wrong, it's always a diabolical liberal plot.

smash or pass?

Smash.

Exactly. An aimless drone with no real place who will do anything to make his mark. The identity du jour for these types of terminally online losers is Mass Shooter. Feel like there's no hope for you? No future? Have no ambition? Are you painfully subnormal? Did you fall for the /pol/ psy-op in your formative years? Grab a gun and start shooting. That's the blueprint given to them by social media, regular media, their peers (glowies) etc.

Expect to see way more of these dysgenic, /pol/-lite zoomers on the news in the coming years.

And that's where the post-irony comes into play, because he's seems to be aware of these tropes, and intentionally plays into them on his social media posts, and yet he still embodies the archetype despite being self-aware about it. It's facetious, but also sincere to a degree. Peak zoomerism, in other words.

We're not likely to see a long, navel-gazing manifesto with this one, at least not one with an ounce of sincerity to it. If he did write one, I expect it could probably be condensed into essentially: 'lol. lmao.'

That's also why I don't think he went through with going out in a shootout with the police like how he portrayed it in his videos. He was infatuated with the concept of going out in a blaze of glory, but he didn't have the conviction to actually go through with something like that, because his actions weren't actually driven by anything but a desire to be noticed, and to see the reactions of those he considers his peers. If he were to actually die, he wouldn't get to see what people are saying about him, and that's the whole point for him.

I'm just gonna take Occam's Razor to the whole thing: he's a retard who became a mass murderer.

Also going to place my chips on the kid being someone struggling with finding his niche in life and potentially dealing with severe mental illness (that he was aware of or not, because anosognosia is a hell of a thing). At 21~22 years old, when most people his age are graduating from university and beginning to settle into working life, he doesn't seem to have anything going on for himself. He isn't studying, honing skills or working toward building a career and his creative endeavors have more or less amounted to nothing. Probably not something that is very comfortable with someone with a fat ego who has aspirations of fame and attaining celebrity status with his mumble rap.

Looking at this picture here, I noticed what looks like old (seeing as they are quite pale) self harm scars on his forearm in the lower left corner...

Moar sus shit

His woo medicine, new age spirituality fan, "momtrepreneur" of a mother, strikes me as being absolutely unhinged (to say the least). Her wild-eyed lewd selfies, outlandish haircuts, obsession with spirituality and her risky driving gave me "I am in neck deep in a full-blown manic episode" vibes. Advanced stages of mania can have people losing touch with reality and believing that they have been given "special missions" from "entities or whatever. Some of his YouTube videos were strange in that he mentioned something about his "destiny to do something" and that" he couldn't be stopped".

Of course, it is more likely that he was just being an edgy creative type and spouting a bunch of purple prose. Even if his mother is not bipolar and he isn't mentally ill, stimulant abuse can produce psychotic symptoms in some people. Either way his brain was fried.

I do feel bad though. People were getting together to celebrate after a tough two years and then this guy decides to ruin everything. It didn't even look like a spur of the moment thing either, seeing as his social media history seems to point to this attack being premeditated.

Also, it might hurt.

And it worked

eggs dee

I suspect pretty much the rest of his life is going to hurt after today.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

lol he’s ugly

I wonder how bad he smells man.

 

[TheGreatDodongus]

I wonder how bad he smells man.

Some unholy amalgamation of weed, juul, feet, and dried semen I'd wager.

 

[Fat Gay Riker]

I wonder how bad he smells man.

Like Sulfur.

 

[CervixHammer]

you have now lived long enough to see a meme from over a decade ago come to life and do a mass shooting

 

[CarlosDanger]

Good fucking eye. IMO the meter has turned slightly in favor of antifa/ggot.

I saw someone on Twitter saying the picture was in response to a post about January 6th and he was mocking the protesters. Other pictures showed he liked multiple posts about locking up Mark Meadows and January 6th rioters. I couldn't confirm how authentic it was so I didn't post it here.

 

[Who dat?]

Yeah, but he'll be able to whine and remember when he had the whole country's attention. And he'll still be alive. When you have no belief, your life is all that matters.

Reminder that there are way too many retards who swear on their life that the US mass shooting crisis has absolutely nothing to do with mental health.

Remember, when something goes wrong, it's always a diabolical liberal plot.

The fact that more than zero attacks in the USA have been FBI plots means that angle has to be at least considered.

Has anyone been able to find anything on the square symbol or if the number "47" has any meaning in connection to it? A news report says it links to a far right orginization but I literally can't find anything on the symbol anywhere.

 

[Matt Damon]

I suppose? Maybe I'm just not sufficiently Zoomer-minded, but even the most trite, meaningless, mediocre existence seems a hell of a lot better than getting a brief moment of notoriety and spending the rest of your life in prison.

Or he's just another wigger fag with daddy problems. There's probably nothing much going for him beyond that.

The Far Right is their default Boogeyman.
