The Idaho shooter who killed two fire fighters. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/us/idaho-fire-shooter-wess-roley
No surprise they wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads.
The timeline in the article doesn't line up with that picture.
Sounds like there was a nasty divorce in 2015 between the parents, including a restraining order.
We've got an article, I'm sure there will be more coming out. It's his mom and stepdad:
Social media accounts for his parents show that his dad, a U.S. Army veteran, and his mom, a pet groomer, have each divorced and remarried. Each has made Facebook posts in support of President Donald Trump and right-wing politics, but there is no indication their son shares their views.

Per the CNN story, its certainly possible he had a mental break after failing to get a job in the forestry service and just decided to take it out on a couple of firefighters before offing himself.
Did his parents holding extremist political views and a fetish for firearms play a role in his actions? Would be more unbelievable if they didn't. But I don't think he'd have been better off with a couple of parents who were firmly in the Ted Cruz camp or disaffected Liz Cheney die-hards, either.
If I was to take a wild guess, I'd say this was the direct result of a kid who was out of high school, unemployed, with no real future on the horizon, who was terminally online in a community of (likely a large number of bot-accounts and trolls) telling him he's worthless and should just off himself.
A classic problem of "surplus males" that plague every militant reactionary society.
Remember: misinformation comes from both sides. Just because you like it doesn't mean you can skip fact checking.
Simply using the term “both sides” is problematic, and not just because it’s a binary fallacy. There aren’t just two sides. It’s misrepresents a system in which there is one single, unified group that engages in violent, oppressive, lawless fascism… and then there is everyone else, covering a nearly infinite variety of ideologies and goals, and many of whom have no representation.
The phrase “both sides” as it is, itself, misinformation and propaganda.
Let me clarify. I'm an imbecile who normally comments on porn and trash memes. I didn't put much thought into it besides "PSA: we're inclined to believe things that align with us! Make sure to check!" Because I gotta remind myself often because I believe most things I like. and think people also might appreciate being reminded. I just think too often in binary terms because (see above) I'm an idiot and it's all easier that way. But I'm always trying to grow and do better so I'll take your critique of my comment to heart.
I guess I'll try to phrase things less binarily in the future. Or keep it short. But thanks for keeping me on it.
Damn. 👊🏼
I don't need to give MAGA the benefit of the doubt anymore.
They lost that privilege years and years ago.
The side that is doing actually good stuff doesn't need to use misinformation, but there'll be unaffiliated people spreading whatever kind they want on a platform that will have them
Those MAGA Republicans look like DEMOCRATS!
Don't believe you lying eyes!
Don't you think the guy looks like MAGA Paul Hollywood?
He reminded me of Jon Favreau. Or David Zayas
too bad this happened in the home of the Aryan Nation, it'll amount to thoughts and prayers
I truly hope firefighters nationwide make some noise against this shit with guns and mental health and press politicians to make changes via inaction during emergencies. this is absolutely fucking unacceptable and they should not ever fear additional life threatening forces while risking their lives and addressing crises
so fucking tired of psychos parading around their love of guns alongside their hatred. your god isn't fuckin real, your guns are not a "god given right"
MAGA = American Taliban
In case anyone was still unsure.
Another one? I'm still reeling from the preacher murders.
They'll find out that he donated a dollar to a charity at the grocery store checkout when he was 12, so he's a Democrat.
We need your particular set of skills to kidnap and possibly deflate a giant orange balloon that people keep pretending is human.
Do we really need to spread fake info about this? His parents had an aggressively hostile divorce 10 years ago.
So neither exist? No one raised him?... My money is on at least one of them is his parent...the other probably played a part in raising him.
Mom raised him. Dad barely saw him. But in any case, these clearly aren't his parents because like I said they were divorced before MAGA was a thing. This is just a troll posting a picture of some idiots hoping that people will give them Internet points.
Strange. Usually when we find only thing we call it an anecdote. Unless it fits with our prejudice then it's cold, hard, scientific data.
What’s the rest of the sign say that is cut off above “hitler”?
