Or, he could have been a loser looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Admitting he did it to others could be motivated by more fame seeking.

Sure. But I think that it's way too early for anyone to be stating confidently, or even supposing, that this involved "[a] right wing shooter [who] killed a right wing activist because he wasn't right wing enough...." We know very little about the shooter or why he did what he did.

I don't know whether the statement I quoted is true or false, since we have no real facts yet. If I were forced to guess, I would predict that assessment is going to age badly. There's no indication (as yet) that Robinson was a groyper who held Nick Fuentes' views of Charlie Kirk - which makes me think it's a bit unlikely that he is one, since groypers (and Fuentes followers generally) tend to be extremely online. And one thing we can infer is that Robinson probably wasn't extremely online - if he was, we would probably have seen tons of reporting about his online statements by now.

That guess might be wrong - maybe he was a non-online groyper, or only was online in non-public fora. But I think what little evidence we have (or inferred absence of evidence) would lean against him shooting Kirk because he wasn't right wing enough.
