And likely an exMormon who probably shared many of the same beliefs as those who regularly post here. It wasn't the Lamanites but rather apostate Nephites that seemed to turn out to be the worst of all people.
"Tyler Robinson was raised Mormon — and allegedly killed Charlie Kirk moments after he praised the church"

and
Neighbors have confirmed that the Mormon family attends the LDS Church, recalling shared participation in church events, school activities, and youth programs typical of the faith’s emphasis on family and community involvement. Social media posts highlight a wholesome, affluent lifestyle with family vacations, celebrations like Tyler’s college acceptance, and hobbies including early introduction to firearms, reflecting the church’s conservative values on self-reliance, gun ownership, and patriotism—values common in Utah’s predominantly LDS (over 60%) southern regions.

and
The suspect accused of assassinating right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk was not a "radical left lunatic" like President Donald Trump predicted, but a Republican-raised Mormon, according to insiders.

Ajax, allow the Marxist progressives on the board, such as Canpakes, Bishop Schmo, DrCamnPP, Fibber Wang Chung, and Gunnar, to embarrass themselves in this thread by attempting to persuade everyone that this individual was a conservative.

Fibber Wang Chung is attempting to create a narrative suggesting that this individual was a devout Mormon. However, anyone with a bit of common sense can foresee that the likely outcome will reveal his family as staunch Republicans and MAGA supporters, and that this person may have been radicalized by progressive cult information.

I can imagine that his whole family, even the extended members, leans Republican, and he might just be the sole left winger among them. Believe me, he's a radical leftist, and there's nothing Fibber Wang Chung can post on the board that will alter the result.

I will wait a few days for the details to emerge, after which it will be evident how devoid of compassion and filled with animosity the progressives on this board truly are. They have several threads on the board aboutthis shooting, clearly trying to convince people that this individual isn't a radicalized ex-Mormon or a radicalized Mormon. Regardless, he has been influenced by progressive cult ideology. Just wait and see! I will return in a few days.

So this apparently active Mormon allegedly killed Kirk. Those are the currently reported facts.

Let me make the outrageously bold prediction that MAGA Mormons will claim "he's not a real Mormon," self-described Christians from other religions will say "He's not a real Christian" and parties from both will claim "he is secretly a radical progressive leftist (and all of the rest of the boogieman words for small MAGA minds)."

I would be shocked... SHOCKED! I tells you, if those things came true.

It’s always fun - and a bit sad - to see you insist on being the most blatant example of what you claim to be against, Hound.

That’s just your jam.

HornDogger,

The best part of your comment is your promise to return in a few days. You'll be back, armed with the undeniable truth, ready to declare victory over the "Marxist progressives" and their progressive cult ideology. It's like a superhero movie, but instead of a cape and powers, you have a greasy keyboard and ignorance.

We'll all be waiting with bated breath for your triumphant return. :lol:

LOL... I predicted it would happen right after HoH posted it, apparently. I didn't know he had, of course, because he hadn't been quoted yet.

I can't pat myself on the back too much. It's like predicting a dog is going to lick himself.

What's really damned funny/sad is that the MAGA reaction to him being shot was the automatic assumption that it was politically motivated in the first place. Gee. I wonder why they would assume that?

They had no idea who the shooter even was, let alone any motive. They were basing that assumption entirely on who Charlie Kirk was. So, ya know... they understood his character too.

The right is trigger happy and itching for civil war. This country's in a dangerous place because extreme, loud Republicans are in no mood for peace.

ETA: And frankly, it might make total sense a young Republican decided to martyr one of the right's heroes. Kirk's message has never been so ubiquitous.
