So now it looks like the shooter they arrested is even more of a right-wing fanboy than the right-wing fanboy he shot.

People I know in the US, but Raid says the BBC is reporting it now as well.

It's mentioned in this BBC Verify video.

I know Social Media is basically all a lie, but he doesn't exactly come across as some dangerous loner.

All the video says is that he had become increasingly 'political', that he didn't agree with Kirk's right-wing views, and that the bullet casings were inscribed with anti-fascist sentiments.

How does that make him 'even more of a right-wing fanboy' than Kirk?

ICE agents have just killed a guy after randomly stopping his car. Unlikely they will face any consequences for it given they've basically got a clean slate to go around doing this.

They're literally culling their own citizens now.

They claim they shot him because the guy drove his car into the officer, dragging him along the road; they didn't just randomly stop him and shoot him.

Actually you're right, I must have mis-heard it when I first listened, though I wasn't suggesting it was reinforcing what Sly said about being more right-wing than Kirk.

Even if that is the truth, which I suspect has been highly embellished, what would you expect to happen when a mob of armed men in masks stop your car and don't identify themselves before trying to get you out?

These enforcement groups are nothing more than gangs of masked, white, redneck Christian Fascist men dolling out vigilante justice to whoever they don't like the look of. They have absolutely no place carrying out any of the actions they're doing.

I’m shocked nobody seems to have shot I’ve yet. Masked men, with no id, dragging literal school lassies into unmarked vans. Murica.

This Reuters article seems pretty thorough in what is known about him so far and I can’t see anything suggesting his political leanings. In fact it states he didn’t even vote in the last election.

It seems he was raised in a Christian, Republican-voting family, but turned away from that in his college years (not an uncommon story).

There does indeed seem to be a narrative doing the rounds that this fellow didn't consider Kirk conservative enough(!), and was inspired by Fuentes.

In that case, how does that match the sentiment of inscriptions on the bullet casings?

I think it's nonsense.
