Anybody know good X accounts to watch for following the evidence trail?
This is one, he is ahead of the game:
In the last 50 pages or so, the investigation has dried up in this thread and it's mostly just discussion.
Which is unfortunate because based on my lurking around the internet, kiwi is currently the farthest ahead (on or above pace with X). But X is hard to use because of the algorithm, even if you happen across the investigators on X, their posts are flooded with memes.
I understand this is just entertainment to most people, and the gravedancing and reporting people to employers is going to be a part of that, but you might crack the case wide open here and that direction is the trans-furry discord friend group.
I read through the last 300 pages of this thread and want to try and give a general summary of what the conclusions seem to be:
- Shooter grew up in a right-leaning family (confirmed).
- Shooter is not a groyper (zero evidence for this other than a squatting picture).
- Shooter does not have any directly political opinions online that have been found, other than eyewitness testimony of people who talked to him (all point towards leftism), and a Halloween costume which subjectively speaking seems to be bashing Trump.
- Shooter lives with his transitioning MTF boyfriend (confirmed by FBI, governor, and eyewitness testimony).
- Shooter's boyfriend is definitely transitioning MTF (confirmed by his Reddit account).
- Shooter's boyfriend has some loose threads connecting them to leftism (ex. posts on reddit, following leftist TikTok account)
- Shooter was part of a friend group in Steam/Discord that all seem to be connected to trans and furry community in Utah; some of them posted about "big happenings" before September 10.
- Shooter is not cooperating with the police.
- The boyfriend is reportedly cooperating.
Now, these leads into the discord/steam trans/furry thing could all be bullshit still, there is no definitive proof beyond the boyfriend. But it's still the best lead so far.
Personally, my guess is that this was a group of Utah kids who are in the "rebel phase" against the parents and the general right-leaning nature of Utah, getting groomed into a trans/furry echo chamber, which is going to be very tight-knit in a state like Utah, everybody knows each other. In typical Discord fashion they hype each other up and radicalize, joking about doing something serious, and when the chance came upon it, they started planning in somewhat jest, but then the shooter actually did it. Deranged groups of young people on Discord do stuff like this all the time, most famous being things like self-harm or animal abuse.
The question is whether there were higher forces involved, and a lot of the conversation on X and pol (what's left of pol) is focused on that, but I think that's the wrong direction to go for now. Higher forces are better at covering their tracks, and even if this group of discord trans-furries are the patsies, investigators will have to unravel the patsy thread before getting to the next level.
If you know any good X accounts, let me know.
