Oh yah, don't get me wrong, the kid pulled it off "well" enough to have us all tilting our heads. I'm more talking about the behaviour - the messages to his little pals in the server about the rifle being in a bush. The furry meme discord uwu talk on the casings... That to me is discord basement dweller behaviour.
I honestly don't think he had a deep reasoning for this crime - he's gone out and killed a man (in a very tactical way) that I think DEEP DEEP down he couldn't care less about, because it was an opportunity to "be someone" to be FaMoUs and to brag to his little server mates. Like people mention the Mangione case (ima be careful here as I've been warded away from voicing myself online about it) but there's a difference. No matter how one feels about that case, there was a clear and concise message. A "reason" that was clear and that many (even if condemning the actual) could understand.
I honestly think this dude went and killed Kirk because he thought people would think he is cool.
