They are pushing the same info cnn is, saying he has not voted, wasn't registered for a party, and was left wing antifa. Family says he has become more political, whatever that means, and that he hated ck. So expect more blame aimed at Dems I guess.

Robinson was registered to vote in 2021 as "unaffiliated" with any political party, according to records seen by the BBC

Authorities say one unfired casing had the words Hey fascist! Catch! and an up, right and three down arrows. The three down arrows alone could be a common symbol used to represent the anti-fascist movement. As a whole, the sequence of arrows could reference a gaming cheat code - although this remains unclear, and authorities have not yet released images of the casings.
A second casing had the lyrics to a song Bella Ciao inscribed on it. The song honours WWII-era partisans of the Italian resistance who fought Nazi Germany.
The third unfired casing was inscribed with the words If you read this, you are gay lmao - again an apparent reference to online trolling humour.

Antifa is a loose collection of far-left activists who have been active in the US over the last decade, at street protests and other events.
They often oppose Trump's policies and far-right groups

(9,533 posts)Maybe not quite as clear as "flat" vs "round," but still a helluva lot clearer than it being a toss-up whether the guy was ANTIFA or rightwing.

That's very telling. Something went wrong right there.

(33,994 posts)My daughter had one to Texas A&M and graduated Summa Cum Laude
She graduated from HS at the top of her class, but didn't qualify for National Merit. (not a good test taker) Presidential scholarship required at least a 3.95 GPA.
So, this guy was "up there", but only went to college for one semester and now four years later, he an apparent electrical apprentice?
Something "went wrong" back then. What has he been doing with himself all of this time?

(1,282 posts)academic/merit scholarship to an expensive school based on grades out of high school. some have tiers like presidential, dean's, etc.. so if that was the top merit scholarship, maybe he had over a 3.7 or something.
on edit:
President John R. Park Scholarship 4.00 GPA $10,000
Provosts Scholarship 3.90 GPA $8,000
Bonneville Scholarship 3.80 GPA $6,000
Red Rock Scholarship 3.70 GPA $4,000
Great Salt Lake Scholarship 3.50 GPA $3,000
so this kid was smart. sad.

(33,994 posts)The fact that he dropped out of college four years ago and is now an "electrical apprentice" indicates that he has had lots of "idle" time etc. Often a sign of trouble.
My daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas A&M. This scholarship isn't for slackers.
