Busted!

Only a short time after YouTube pop psychologist Dr Todd Grande (his degree is an EdD, like Dr Jill Biden's) assured us that the ATF erred when it leaked that the etched inscriptions on the shells in Tyler Robinson's gun were "consistent with transgender and antifascist ideologies", the story began to break that Robinson' roommate, with whom he'd had a "romantic relationship", was a male undergoing trqnsition to female. Grande discussed the message "notices bulges owo what's this" etched on one of the shells. He dismissed it as a trans and "furry" meme that indicates "exaggerated surprise in a sexualized tone" at seeing evidence of male genitalia in a costume, but he assured us that there's nothing that connects this with "transgender ideology". That is, nothing except that Robinson's roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, was both trans and a "furry". (Grande also reassures us that only a small subset of "furries" have sex with each other while dressed in animal suits.)

Andy Ngo researched Twiggs's social media and reported,

Twiggs was raised in a devout Mormon family but said he left the faith. On the r/exchristian subreddit, he claimed he was expelled from his family home after refusing religious spiritual help.

“[W]as told i was possessed by a demon and then within 30 mins kicked outta the house because i started laughing and wouldn’t go to the bishop for a blessing,” Twiggs wrote. “later found out they just didn’t like me and were looking for a way to get me out of the house, wasn’t even 18 at the time.”

A website was able to contact a Twiggs relative:

“He (Lance Twiggs) is very angry with anyone who is supportive of conservative ideals and Christian values,” alleged the family member.

“As far as I know, he was not going by another name. I just know he was in the process of transitioning. I know he was trying to take different medications,” alleged the relative of Lance, whom the family member had avoided for about four years out of concern over Twiggs’ alleged temperament.

The relative told WRN about having heard second-hand from other family members that Lance had allegedly “wished horrible things on people. I’ve really distanced. There was (allegedly) evil inside and only getting worse.”

Certainly in several recent cases, it's hard to rule out demonic possession, although for Twiggs, I doubt if getting a blessing from a Mormon bishop would be much help. I asked the web, "Do you have to want to cooperate with an exorcism for it to work? "AI" replied,

For an exorcism to be effective, Christian tradition generally requires the afflicted person's cooperation and willingness to be freed from evil influence. An uncooperative or unwilling person may still be subjected to a ritual, but it is considered less likely to succeed, and some views suggest it could even worsen the situation.

Short of someone like Twiggs wanting to rid himself of demons, it seems as though the best option for his family was to go no contact. But this raises two questions for me: first, what was the nature of his influence on Robinson? But second, how sincere is his current cooperation with law enforcement? If he played a big role in encouraging Robinson to shoot Charlie Kirk, how much culpability does he have?

For now, it looks like we'll continue to see new revelations in the case.
