The people on here who rushed to blame the shooting on trans people and now won't own their gross mistake.

They will learn nothing from this.

No, they did do crimes. Their status as informants protects them. Are you really not familiar with this kind of arrangement?

Well, to what extent are you/people on the right claiming the feds played a part? That's a pretty big factor. Based on the available info, if you think think the Feds orchestrated the thing, which some have claimed, that's still tin foil stuff.

Because they were there on their own time. Do you know what informants are? They're members of the group they're informing on. In criminal cases, they're almost always still committing crimes. The information they provide protects them. Likely the case here. And the degree to which these people informed is not clear. The 26 could refer to anyone the FBI made contact with or received any information from. Trust me, the feds are well integrated into every political movement in this country. It's an open joke in left-wing circles (who are historically who the feds have targeted). It don't think it's plausible to say that this whole thing was manufactured by the feds, which I take to be the insinuation? I think it's more likely that these people were stupid, passionate, and misled by a man they deeply adored into thinking the election was stolen and things got out of hand. As someone who was present at a lot of Pro-Palestine protests, I can attest that though people didn't show up with the intention to be aggressive, when cops show up and start shoving, all bets are off. Just human nature at that point. That's my best explanation. And I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if more info comes to light, but what Willie posted is not that big and he misrepresented it on top of that (or at least the tweet he linked did).

What is the conspiracy? That the FBI had people undercover at a large political protest? They have people undercover at *every* large political protest. They've been doing this for 60 years. For the record, I don't really care about Jan 6. I'm just not sure why you think this knowledge is supposed to upend my worldview?

You legit need to learn how to read and process information. Those aren't FBI agents. They're snitches.

Probably the people who want to "level" society aka make it equal aka woke people.

Yeah.....sure. "The levelers want to destroy everything because in the rubble we will all be equal."

It was taken down at one point, but now it's back up.

What's your theory?

I posted his twitter account, so you can see his politics for yourself. Like most people, they're not consistent. He hates insurance companies, but also hates "wokeness" and atheism. He shows anti-capitalist tendencies at one moment, but is a big tech fan and likes Elon Musk. He supports conservative social values, but is also really into futurism. Trying to double down on "he was clearly a leftist/antifa" is stupid.

Are you old enough to be posting on this forum?

Another example of the US supporting Islamist militant groups to further its goals in the region. Not that Assad is any better, but we should probably be neutral on this one.

It will be funny to watch the right-wing media sphere completely drop this story now that it's clear he wasn't a lefty lol. However, going back to my points earlier in the thread, this should be a wake up call. A prep school valedictorian with an ivy league education became to radicalized by his experience with our healthcare system that he decided to murder the CEO of the insurance company.
