The suspect in the Florida State University shooter, who faces first degree murder charges for killing two and injuring five on Thursday was a member of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group around the Republican Party, and is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The 20-year-old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jessica Ikner, who has been with the department for 18 years.

    Is he short?

    He looks rather short.

    I wonder if that got to him. Seems to be a weirdly touchy thing to some.

      Right wing, insecure short dudes who don’t know how to talk to girls are some of the absolute worst people on the planet.

      Meanwhile I knew a guy around the size of Warwick Davis who had to stay in a wheelchair, or at least used a cane and other mobility aids when he was at home. Outgoing, great sense of humor. Threw great parties. Got cute goth babes like, every other week. Just the nicest dude you ever met.

      The difference is accepting who and what you are and learning to love it and trying to find something worth enjoying in life.

        Self love leads to love of others.

        Wanting it bad is also so unattractive. My heart is happier hearing about a Warwick Davis dude fucking goth cuties.

      Just another antisocial, fantasist incel loser who gravitated towards extremism. This asshole can now enjoy prison for the rest of his life.

          Some conservatives get those.

          Mass shooters don’t tend to get that treatment.

          It’s the bridge too far scenario. If this little shit head had joined the police department and then shot a bunch of people, the right would cheer, because that’s how things work in their mind.

          But becoming a rouge element and shooting random people… No that’s just murder.

          I’m sure there’s a better way to phrase it, but I’m at the tail.end of a nasty cold and can’t think straight.
