This was a quote released by the Wallstreet Journal, who were given access directly from an internal Facebook memo from two accounts they deleted relating to the suspect:

"I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her. If there's no afterlife and she isn't real then my life never mattered anyway."

Facebook and The Wallstreet Journal couldn't find any actual motive behind the attack from either of the pages; just ponies. This is still all under heavy investigation, but for now, be prepared for some potential blowback once the news starts breaking out into the wider internet. The Wallstreet Journal did bring up the "far-right" side of the fandom that caused a stir last year, though they could not find any correlation between the two.

Terribly tragic. I'm a Brony. Bronies tend to be the kids who didn't fit in, the introverts, autistics and such. Good people but we all seem to have our problems.It's no surprise to me that a guy who was probably harassed mercilessly at work lost it. I have unfortunately been in that sort of situation and their are some people who are darn lucky I'm not a violent person.

I’ve always been a fan of Pinky Pie.

Oh my. This is a little “different.” Now we have militant pony boys.

God help us.

Sorry but this whole subculture creeps me out. To each his own I suppose but when it comes to cartoons I’m more a looney tunes follower if anything.

Brandon Scott Hole was just an violent thug.

That’s it. He had no better excuse for his violence that any other young males that murder.

[Truth29]

Can you elaborate? How should this be interpreted?

As they say down South, “That boy ain’t right”. No doubt he was never playing with a full deck. Have to wonder what drugs, alcohol, and other exogenous substances his mother took while pregnant. There is a reason for everything.

They didn’t find motive because they aren’t looking at his politics. It’s more than likely that he was a liberal, because liberals desire power over other people.

I'm a Brony

I'm ok with removing guns from anyone who self describes as a Brony.

I love “Archer”, but it’s just a freakin’ cartoon. A half hour of laughs, nothing more.

[coloradan]

It’s so nice of our overlord gate keepers to scrub the shooter’s profiles, thereby allowing them to singlehandedly control the narrative. For science!

[Stravinsky]

I can understand liking My Little Pony (well, I can’t, but there is animation I do like, so for sake of argument...). But I can’t understand labeling oneself a Brony. Having a big chunk of your identity be that is just bizarre.

What an embarrassment.

That said, all I’m hearing around social media how “yet another White Supremacist” shooter committed a mass shooting.

And, Whites and only Whites are mass shooters.

The media are picking this right up.

Never mind the Black NFL player last week that shot 6 White people, including two children. That was out of the news within hours.

[P.O.E.]

I grew up admiring the likes of Trigger, Silver, Flicka, Black Beauty, etc. (even Mr. Ed).

I confess to being rather fond of this cereal back when my body was younger and could tolerate sugar a lot better than it does now.

[freespirit2012]

Has anyone considered that maybe one of the alphabet agencies were slipping this guy some drugs?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Time to ban ML-Ponies of war. Rot in H*ll BS-Hole, you pimply faced f*g.

[databoss]

We are raising a generation of emotional invalids, from BLM followers through Antifa and this clown.

[antidemoncrat]

So I guess red flag warnings didn’t apply here.

[ronniesgal]

you’re a brony? thanks for the heads up. PS how old are you?
