Deputy's kid (20) with access to parent's weapons. Who is the good guy with the gun again?

I have two there. Terrified for about an hour. Still shaken up.

Unreal. I'd be a basket case.

I was right.

My older son texted his mom "I love you" as the younger texted her there was a shooter on campus. He couldn't update that text for an hour and we imagined the worst. That was rough.

The older son graduates in two weeks. He spent a summer in Germany and learned to speak German. He traveled to scandanavia after he finished and all the people there thought he was either British or Swedish. As soon as he told them he was American, they all asked him (condescendingly) if he had ever been in a school shooting. Now it looks he will be answering that he was in one. It still puts a lump in my throat to think of him running into a classroom, barricading the door and texting his mom that he loved as he wondered if he dies now. This just doesn't happen in other countries.

FSU shooting suspect thought Rosa Parks was 'wrong' and Black people were ruining his neighborhood

FSU shooting suspect Phoenix Ikner was known for his controversial views and as a student who "espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric."

After officials identified the shooter as the son of a sheriff, Phoenix Ikner, 20, who killed two and left six injured in the melee, his classmates are speaking out to fill in the picture of who he was.

Ikner, who changed his name from Christian Gunner Eriksen to Phoenix Ikner in 2020, was known by some as a "normal college dude," according to NBC News. However, others, including FSU senior Reid Seybold, claim Ikner "espoused" white supremacist ideals.

Seybold knew Ikner from a political debate club at Tallahassee State College, where he attended for two years before transferring to FSU. He told the outlet that Ikner "espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric and far-right rhetoric, as well," that he was ultimately asked not to return.

Another member of the group and current president, Riley Pusins, confirmed to NBC that Ikner supported President Donald Trump's political agenda and often touted white supremacist ideals even though the club was nonpartisan.

Pusins added how many in the club considered the suspect a fascist. He said that after the meetings, the suspect would often make more "inappropriate" comments. According to the current club president, Ikner would "go up to the line" in meetings and then cross the line in discussions later.

Ikner lauded right-wing conspiracy theories and "hateful ideas." He reportedly pushed theories like former President Joe Biden gained the office illegally, "Rosa Parks was in the wrong" and Black people were ruining his neighborhood.

You can't spell "HATRED" without

"RED HAT"

So he was so fascist that he creeped out the Young Republicans, but he was right at home with the Leon County Sherriff's Office.

Gotcha.

@JB - That sucks. I remember my FSU days fondly, but back then getting shot on campus wasn't even a thing anyone could imagine.

Now he will wake up in a cold cell with bad food and the realization that every single day for the rest of his life will be exactly the same. His will not be able to enjoy his notoriety and he will be in an environment where his views on white supremacy will get him a lovely cell warming party and maybe even a dramatic jump in his sex life. There will be no discussion or acknowledgment of the futility of his murders. He may, in time, come to the reality of his crime and empathize with the survivors of his victims as he watches time cruelly march on while he lives the same day over and over. He will be forgotten because he wasn't able to get the numbers of the innocents he killed up there. He's going to come to realization that he will die a long time from now in a stinky cell, surrounded by wolves and snakes who would kill him for money in their canteen account. All of this, of course, never occurred to him and certainly not to his poor mother, who probably thought it was just an awkward phase he would emerge from with a degree.
