    Not sure about this. There’s been more information coming out and I was team Groyper on his ideology but he may have just done an about face after living with his trans roommate (who is cooperating with police, and shocked he did this).

    Quoting AP here:

    Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

    “The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,” Cox said. “I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.”

      Fuck Cox. That asshole literally prayed that he’d be able to blame it on an immigrant. The original story was that he lived with his father, then suddenly a trans person appeared from out of nowhere.

          Hey, notice how I didn’t make any claims?

          You quoted the authorities with no corroborating evidence, and then a TMZ(🙄) story about a note that the police say existed but they can’t produce.

          You’re a mark. Take your own advice.

          Never trust initial reporting on an event like this.

      The only thing I’ve seen linking their roomate to “transness” is a single Instagram makeup filter photo. Not exactly conclusive evidence.

      “They were trans”

      “Their roomate was trans”

      Anything to attach this to queers and not to the alt right.
