The teen who shot up an Indianapolis FedEx facility and killed eight people was reportedly part of a bizarre Internet subculture obsessed with “My Little Pony.”
Posts on Brandon Hole’s since-taken-down Facebook page appear to indicate he was a member of the “Bronies” community — a group of mostly adult men who are extreme fans of the kiddie toys and animated television show, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her,” Hole wrote on his Facebook page at 10:19 p.m. Thursday, less than an hour before his rampage began, the outlet reported.

What ought to be the logical question to ask....so how many others are in this category across the US? Twenty-thousand?
In the ocean of weird subcultures fostered by the internet, the “Brony” thing is among the weirdest.
Maybe if his last name wasn’t Hole he would’ve had better self esteem.
Similar to leftists in that he is living in a false reality.
Had an autistic male college student in Singapore maybe early 20s. Absolutely addicted to “My Little Pony”. My other students ripped him
a new one on several occasions. You know cruel young adult males can be. I’m guessing if guns were legal in Singapore, he might have killed a bunch of them.
Based solely on that, thinking young male adults who are into that do have some sort of mental difficulty and deficiency.
Caught my 11 year old boy watching it. “He claims the magic was/is cool”. I said watch Harry Potter or something else or how-tos on how to do actual magic. I also said you don’t want to end up bayot, bakla or bading.
Is it weird, I was thinking the same thing?
Are bronies also incels?
There was a shooting at a nearby college years ago. One student dead, several others injured. It was stopped by a brave boy that was a “hall monitor” for the building.
He used pepper spray on the shooter as he tried to reload. (The spray was against campus rules, but....) Then he tackled the shooter and subdued him.
On the hero’s facebook page he had lots of Brony stuff! Along with martial arts, military and survival stuff. Perhaps he is the exception that proves the rule!?
I wonder how many guys have been kicked out of the Maries for being bronies.
Marines...
I think the first affiliation guarantees the second.

Bronies tend to be homosexuals.
I would bet a MILLION DOLLARS that he was on PRESCRIBED MIND ALTERING DRUGS!!! Bet he started off on RITALIN!
That CANNOT be a REAL picture.
WTF are BRONIES????? MY LITTLE PONY??? CROSS DRESSING at a CONVENTION?? What freaking WEIRDNESS! OMG I’m glad I’m OLD!
LOL!! ANY BOY over 3 that likes MY LITTLE PONY is a SICKO!
