No. My solution on a message board to someone who has shown themselves to be
1. A total liar
2. Unwilling to engage in rational discussion like an adult
3. Prone to demonizing people and groups beyond what is acceptable in any sense of normal engagement
Don't make this about "the left". It's just me. I say you need to be banned. Me. If you have an issue with it, im happy to provide you my name, email address, phone number, and physical address. You can take it up with me personally.

“… The messages do not shed light on a possible motivation for the shooting, which has been fiercely debated by people trying to ascribe blame to a political side. A police officer wrote in an affidavit that Mr. Robinson had recently discussed Mr. Kirk’s upcoming event in Utah with a family member, and that the two had “talked about why they didn’t like him.”
People who knew Mr. Robinson over the yearssaid that he was extremely intelligent, followed current events, and spent much of his time online or playing video games. He was registered to vote but was not affiliated with a political party and appeared to have never voted in an election; his parents are both registered Republicans.
After Mr. Robinson joked that the gunman was his look-alike, another user suggested that the group could turn Mr. Robinson in and get the $100,000 reward that the F.B.I. was offering.
“Only if I get a cut,” Mr. Robinson responded.
Someone posted, “Whatever you do, don’t go to a mcdonalds anytime soon,” a reference to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, who was found at a McDonald’s restaurant and charged with the killing of a health insurance chief executive in Manhattan….”

That’s weak as hell. Blaming her in a passive aggressive way with a veiled insult because you don’t want potentially relevant info made known is pathetic. As is the suggestion that she should “protect” you because you are gay. You don’t need protecting because you are gay on this board.
“declined to speculate on a romantic relationship between the two men.”
You don’t think that info could be relevant as to his motive if there was a romantic relationship?

I was thinking more likely huffing paint thinner, or doing whippets.
A man's gotta grieve.

That’s pretty funny. I wonder what Robinson’s intent was after the shooting. He clearly wanted to escape from the campus because he did so, but beyond that?

I think nycfan is on to something about the gaming community and anarchism, etc.. These groups seem hard to pin down (me being an old fart and not knowing 'kids these days'). Robinson might not be left or right politically, but something of a nihilist. He doesn't care, it was just something to do.

Indeed. And it isn't "the left" that is currently patrolling social media to try and find people who have posted things about Charlie Kirk they don't like and get them fired by contacting their employers and demanding punishment. And one of the websites they're using to do this is called - no joke - "Exposing Charlie's Murderers". Never mind that none of the people they're going after murdered Charlie, or that it's impossible to claim you're defending free speech when you're punishing people for practicing it, Trumpers (as usual) don't care. They are the ones who are practicing cancel culture and who have become a "woke mob" out to ruin people's careers for using Charlie Kirk's own quotes against him. They're praising Kirk for promoting "civil debate" on college campuses while simultaneously trying to silence debate and free speech on the internet. Just another fine example of GOP hypocrisy.

Some strange things about how this is being handled:
* Usually the cops want to piece together a motive to bolster prosecution, but here they have the suspect alive and he has given a confession— the frantic focus on motive seems unnecessary
* The earlier NY Post story about the roommate indicated that the roommate was cooperating with authorities and that “Text messages and other communications that the roommate traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin.”
1) The Feds didn’t “nab” the assassin - based on widely reported details, he was confronted to his father, who talked him into telling a youth minister, who contacted the ATF, and the dad talked his son into turning himself in, which he did to local police
2) IF the roommate was cooperative and helping Feds nab the assassin, doesn’t that make the roommate a good guy in this situation?
* We’ve had several early leaks from law enforcement that were focused on blaming “transgender ideology” (whatever that even is) for the assassination that were debunked
* now we have law enforcement leaks again that seem to be presenting a narrative that the roommate is trans and possibly the killer’s lover, but also cooperating to help them nab the killer, but that also means that the purportedly transgender roommate is somehow to blame?
* so far, there has been no secondary corroboration of these new law enforcement leaks — a relative of the roommate explicitly said she considered the roommate a black sheet but had no idea if he is transgender, and there is no indication that should matter anyway given that the roommate is a cooperating witness, not the alleged killer, and none of the photos in the Post story suggest a man transitioning to female (which again doesn’t seem relevant anyway)
* I do think there may have been a lot of pundit and political and law enforcement misunderstanding of online gamer culture and trying to peg it as left or right wing political ideology when it is more of an anarchist, shitposting all sides suck disaffected youth culture

I’ve never heard of that board but your implied insult and need to be protected reveals much.

She seems to have been flailing to become relevant again since she left Fox, shifting positions like a lot of chameleons trying to get a foothold with MAGA after Trump was recuperated on the right from his behavior after the 2020 election and J6.
The competition is fierce to get a lucrative ride on the MAGA train and she will never be trusted by Trump or MAGA because she was seen as too tough on him ins debate moderation and part of the Fix cabal that called AZ too early in a way that Trump and MAGA believe allowed Biden to “steal” the election.

Trans, non trans, left, right, etc. it is important to understand motive regardless of which “group” he falls in.

Cochran clearly has a preferred narrative which may be clouding his analysis, but he is raising a lot of good questions about how and why information is being leaked by law enforcement so far.

So, this is what I was referencing, way back to last summer, with respect to expecting “whisper networks”. MAGA is looking to every reason to silence, imprison, and likely kill people they simply disagree with, and they will twist themselves into a gordonian knot in futile attempts to satiate their ids and bottomless insecurity.
