      Nothing has really been revealed officially so far, so only speculation. But he appears to be a “groyper” which is another flavor of young fascist douchebag led by Nick Fuentes.

      Nick and Charlie had been feuding recently about one of them not being bigoted enough or some shit. The leading theory seems to be that this may have been related to that.

      We don’t really know yet. There hasn’t been any solid reporting on who this young man is and he’s not talking to investigators.

      If he did do it and can be easily convicted, keeping the motive secret is a potential bargaining chip to avoid the death penalty.

      I would guess Kirk being Pro 2A has nothing to do with it.
