In my view that makes the room mate an accomplice. He did not go to the police, knowing that there was a murder plot. He needs to also be arrested and this needs to expand out from there.
I am also suspicious of the father.
Him turning in his son may simply be a deflection, a planned way of shielding others including himself - agreed with the shooter. Which would be why the shooter is staying silent.
I'm questioning this narrative as Tyler lived 260 miles away from the University. His roommate would not drive 260 miles to recover the gun. Makes no sense.

Also to the people argueing that MAGA is far right. The Aryon Nation is far right. MAGA is nowhere close to that

I don't think MAGA is ""far right" but some lean further to the right than others.

Quote:The Dunning-Kruger Effect Isn’t What You Think It Is
The least skilled people know how much they don't know, but everyone thinks they are better than average
DUNNING–KRUGER TODAYThe original paper by Dunning and Kruger starts with the quote: “It is one of the essential features of incompetence that the person so inflicted is incapable of knowing that they are incompetent.” This idea has spread far and wide through both scientific literature and pop culture alike. But according to the work of my colleagues and me, the reality is that very few people are truly unskilled and unaware.
The Dunning and Kruger experiment did find a real effect – most people think they are better than average. But according to my team’s work, that is all Dunning and Kruger showed. The reality is that people have an innate ability to gauge their competence and knowledge. To claim otherwise suggests, incorrectly, that much of the population is hopelessly ignorant.
DEBUNKING THE DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECTThere are three reasons Dunning and Kruger’s analysis is misleading.
The worst test-takers would also overestimate their performance the most because they are simply the furthest from getting a perfect score. Additionally, the least skilled people, like most people, assume they are better than average. Finally, the lowest scorers aren’t markedly worse at estimating their objective performance.
To establish the Dunning-Kruger effect is an artifact of research design, not human thinking, my colleagues and I showed it can be produced using randomly generated data.
First, we created 1,154 fictional people and randomly assigned them both a test score and a self-assessment ranking compared with their peers.
we found that unskilled students are pretty good at estimating their own competence. In this study of unskilled students who scored in the bottom quarter, only 16.5% significantly overestimated their abilities. And, it turns out, 3.9% significantly underestimated their score. That means nearly 80% of unskilled students were fairly good at estimating their real ability – a far cry from the idea put forth by Dunning and Kruger that the unskilled consistently overestimate their skills.

If I had to summarize it, I would point at the fact that decades of neoliberal economic policy has not brought the results that it promised, and that social media is amplifying radical voices that play the blame game, which people like you eat up. Everything is the left's fault, right?
Again, some can't see themselves in the mirror and have no self awareness.
I only see the results of years of propaganda and actions but you call it blame.
The saying goes "Don't poke the bear", but even the friendly squirrels can also get fed up eventually.
I know too much and question everything.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
Did anyone ask the monkeys how much fun the barrel actually was?

It makes no sense because the shooter makes no sense.
In his mind the room mate would do that.
In his mind Kirk was hateful and deserved to die.
In his mind he'd get away with the murder.
In his mind ..... no sense.

MAGA isn't far right.
They are just MAGA.
Their own creation.
Your example of Arian Nation was correct.
THAT is far right. Not MAGA.

Most people struggle with nuance.
MAGA is different from the normal right vs left of recent history, but I would say it is populist right as opposed to far right.
There may be a few far right platform issues, but the movement itself isn't totally far right.
