    He could be a dyed-in-the-wool GOP for six generations with no connections to any Left organization whatever.

    He’ll be branded as a woke Antifa with a Black trans GF who was brain washed with peyote by a Native Shaman at a Liberal college.

      Article says he was registered republican, but donated $15 to a grassroots democratic group shortly after the capitol riot, so… there you go.

          I doubt that will matter to the people who want it to be true. Honestly I feel so sad looking at this kid. Maybe I’m just old, but his high school yearbook pic looks like an elementary schooler to me. He looks so happy in his graduation video. As his father said: “What the hell happened?” I do wonder what will come to light when the discord is accessed.

            The Act Blue entry has a Pittsburgh address (not Bethel Park, where the shooter was from).
            .

              15102 is the zip code for Bethel Park though. There’s no portion of that zip code that goes into Pittsburgh. But we should all probably just wait for the fbi investigation to finish, they’ll have a lot more information I’m sure.

                That’s a good and interesting catch, and while I did engage in the discussion do agree that it’s probably best to reserve any sense of certainty until the FBI shares their findings.

              Wrong guy. That guy was 50, not 20. He did, supposedly send $15 to a progressive group. Let’s wait for the reports. Lots of rumors and misinformation. Bat-shit conspiracies to follow.

          With the same street address as the shooter on the ActBlue donation record?

        There’s a political organizer with the same name a few counties over. In 2021 the shooter was 17, and not legally able to donate in PA.

        I had a friend that was a die hard Bernie Sanders fan until Trump became relevant. He turned to a qanon following psycho that pushed away everyone close to him.

        Speaking of finances, I’d like to know how much he lost to trumps scams. I’m just impatient, that will (or won’t) be discovered in the investigation

      CNN reported that he registered Rep, but made donations to Dem. Of course that was right after it happened so plenty of room for your
