NC State student arrested for shootings

1. I'm not automatically assuming that every white person is MAGA. But let's go through some things:

Most white men are MAGA. That % increases when you add guns to the mix. In addition, this sounds like stochastic terrorism, which we know is a right-wing thing. And it just happened to start on the day before the election, when people were predicting and worried about violence.

On the flip side, he's in college. But it's not Chapel Hill; it's state.

So if you evaluate those factors, I'd say that it's considerably higher than 50% chance that he's a right winger. That's less than 100% but I say more probable than not. Additional information can, of course, bring those odds down considerably.

Mental illness is another possibility, as mentioned. And even if it's not mental illness, it doesn't have to be politics.

2. His conduct happens to be what the FBI, DOJ and terrorism experts were predicting what would happen. So put all those together and it's not a stretch at all to think that he's MAGA.

3. It is possible that all of the above can be true and he's a liberal who lost it. That wouldn't make me any more sympathetic to him. I just think it's considerably less likely than the alternative.

Perhaps we should hold off on all conjecture and let the authorities do their thing. I don't know too many MAGA terrorists who support BLM, for example.
 
Saw on Raleigh subreddit another anthro student at State had classes with him. Said this guy got caught masturbating in class and never came back.

I figure mental illness that’s genetic or he started messing around with shrooms or acid and it brought on the mental illness. Maybe both.o

Red pilling is a thing. What are message boards for if not conjecture?

Baseless conjecture is pretty useless. I mean I could argue that this guy is probably a radical vegan because I don't like radical vegans, but there's nothing to suggest that he is and my allegation would add nothing to the conversation.
 
Anyway we can keep politics out of this one? I purposely ignored the politics thread after the election for a reason.
 
I haven't followed. Did he kill anyone? I think I read he shot at least one person in the leg but she was probably going to be okay.

Really does sound like mental illness. Hope he gets the help he needs.

Just received an alert from WRAL that police were forcing cars off 40 in Raleigh near Brentwood. Not sure if it's connected to this or not. Maybe there is another shooter.
 
I read an interview with the mom. Like all parents in this situation, she said she was shocked. One thing that struck me was that she had not seen him I'm months.

'Out of character': Mom of accused Raleigh shooter shocked to learn of son's arrest

In a one-on-one phone interview, WRAL News talks to the mother of 23-year-old Andrew Graney, who was charged in series of Raleigh shootings.

Sounds like he was a pretty good kid... an Eagle Scout prior to college and an anthropology major at State. The mom seems baffled. Unfortunately he is in the window of when people can have an onset of serious mental illness, so I wonder if that might be what is going on. Sad for both the victims of the shooting and for the young man himself.

I have a 21 yo son at State and a 23 yo recent UNC grad. When I try to put myself in that mom's place... man, that is dark. I really feel for her. She said she doesn't talk to him much and hasn't seen him since the summer; I suppose he was withdrawing.
