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.

    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.
