Demographics of Gun Violence

[Jonathan Whatley]

What is the evidence to support that it was a romantic gesture?

In the immediate aftermath Robinson was trying to conceal his role from everyone else (the police and his parents), yet he revealed his role to his roommate, with boastful language about the action coupled with flowery language about their love.

Again, "having enough of his hatred" is a pretty big reason to conclude it was political in nature, especially considering the other comments made by the family.

Obviously unhinged, in a gay/trans relationship, likely drifted to the left, which countered his conservative family's values. Kirk's words likely countered his worldview, promoting his feeling of anger and the eventual act of murder. Not rocket science.

Unhinged and angry individually. It’s not shown that he was radicalized to violence by a movement or dark web or influencers.
