Anyone want to bet he was on psych drugs too? That seems to be a common item on all these shooters that there's info available. The drug companies started hushing it up after Sandy Hook.

FedEx shooter Brandon Hole was obsessed with ‘My Little Pony’: report By Gabrielle FonrougeApril 18, 2021 | 3:54pm | Updated Enlarge Image
The teen who shot up an Indianapolis FedEx facility and killed eight people was reportedly part of a bizarre Internet subculture obsessed with “My Little Pony.”
Posts on Brandon Hole’s since-taken-down Facebook page appear to indicate he was a member of the “Bronies” community — a group of mostly adult men who are extreme fans of the kiddie toys and animated television show, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Some members are sexually attracted to the characters, while the group also has allegedly displayed far-right tendencies.
“I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her,” Hole wrote on his Facebook page at 10:19 p.m. Thursday, less than an hour before his rampage began, the outlet reported.
The post included a photo of Applejack, a blond pony that is a main character on the show.
“Brony online culture has displayed elements of far-right and white nationalist extremism,” the memo stated. AP The name Brony is a mashup between “bro” and “pony” — and the group has a history of extremist tendencies, the outlet said, citing an internal Facebook memo they reviewed that detailed the post.
“Brony online culture has displayed elements of far-right and white nationalist extremism,” the memo stated.

Related Subcultures
Ideas championed by the Alt-Right are clearly embedded within a few of the subcultures that are highlighted on this website. Notably, White, working-class men comprise a significant portion of both the Alt-Right and subcultures such as skinheads and heavy metal. This shared demographic leads to some demographically-derived values upheld by many members of these scenes. In particular, within the heavy metal subculture, masculinity, blue-collar sentiments, and whiteness are important values to many members (Weinstein 1992). Another subculture that shares significant ties to Alt-Right ideologies are racist skinheads. Much like the most extreme members of the Alt-Right, racist skinheads promote hateful messages about Jews, non-Whites, and the LGBTQ+ community (“Racist Skinheads“). However, although these subcultures may share a similar baseline demographic with the Alt-Right, it is important to note that right-wing ideologies do not define participation or membership within these subcultures. Of course, in any group or subculture there will be certain members who have more radical ideologies than others. Importantly, just because these groups may have members who are demographically similar to members of the Alt-Right does not mean that these groups inherently promote the values and beliefs espoused by the Alt-Right.
Pretty good explanation.

Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

It seems the FBI didn't think he was a threat after they interviewed him but the Indy PD took his shotgun and put a temporary psych hold on him. Somebody dropped the ball on this one. His mother tried to do the right thing. He should've been evaluated and barred from buying a gun. You can tell by looking at him "that boy ain't right". The fahqin' FBI after seeing his instability probably saw an opportunity to boost a gun ban agenda and assigned a handler to work him until he acted on his impulses or whatever the fahq was going on in his head. I wouldn't be surprised if the bastards made sure he had plenty of ammo. Remember, this is one of the agencies that was actively involved in a coup against a sitting president they didn't like. So if they can do that in broad daylight, why wouldn't they work an unknown local nutcase to convince him to go on a shooting spree and kill a handful of people to get what they want?
