> The guy was at best confused in his ideological leanings. He held midly leftist ideas on some issues and right wing ideas on others, like on gun ownership.
I am wondering how did Jimmy know what his leanings where? It didn't seem like a guess. The language was pretty definite.
I guess someone found his gun ownership views online. I mean besides using a gun to shoot Kirk, which I don't think anyone needs to hold any ideological leanings to acquire a weapon in US. For instance, if I hear of shootings in Chicago overnight, I am not thinking "it's those 2nd amendment nuts again".
> Typical of a young Utah white guy, I'd say.
I'd agree but only if it wasn't shooting someone like Kirk. If some unknown John Doe was killed somewhere in Utah I can see making a guess that it's probably some maga trumper person doing it. And it would still be a wild guess. Here it seems there was more than a wild guess. And common sense would dictate the guess should have been the opposite -- it's someone opposed to Kirk and maga and all that stuff not for it. And it should been emphasized it's a just a wild guess until it becomes more obvious.
