Screenshot of a Tumblr post by sonicguillotine:
For the past few years any time there’s a public shooting, political or not, fascists immediately begin pushing a narrative that the shooter had some connection to the trans community, anarchist or communist politics, to migrant or Black communities. These are always tenuous claims but now with multiple racist lynchings following Kirk’s death, it’s time to recognize the danger of these kinds of mythmakings. They are calls to violence.
There was a white guy who found hanging a few days ago… Also in Mississippi but something like 100 miles away. I think it might have been before Kirk was shot…
Anyway, the conspiracy minded already lumped the two together without learning the details of either. As is now the custom.
