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.

Only ponies I like are cars... or beer.
There are brony conventions. I’ve seen first hand the cringe worthy weirdness walking the streets near the convention hall.
And think of his poor sister Ima, and his ridiculed brother Harry.
Tacro - your name. I took it for a while. Did you have a transplant?
Applejack sounds like a substitute for Thunderbird or Boone’s farm wine..
Clearly we need to remove all access to My Little Pony.
Such a symbol of hate need not be in society.
I identify with Yosemite Sam.
I had a similar reaction to this article, without the knowledge you have about it.
Wonder if Gabrielle has an email address so you could tell her that.
I bet this mischaracterization by Fakebook is intentional.
My little pony contains far-right and white nationalist extremism. Got it.
Wonder what his nickname was in high school?
Supporter of the second amendment that I am, I have no objection to adding Bronies to the short list of those men who should be denied the opportunity to purchase weapons.
Good terms for the conditions!
It's a pretty funny comment to make over My Little Pony and your son, but the whole Brony thing is strange.
My sister loved “My Little Pony” and told me I would rally like it, if I watched it.
I guess it speaks to Libertarian concepts, in some way.
This is what happens when you encourage little boys to play with girl toys.
There was an episode of Storage Wars in which Jarrod and Brandi found a My Little Pony collection in a locker. They took it to a shop run by a Brony for an assessment.
Weird does not even begin to describe him.

By definition! LOL.
Damn, the author cited an "outlet" that cited an "internal Facebook memo" so it must be true.
My company held “Task Force” meetings several times a year with a couple hundred utility executives and senior utility engineers. One year around 1990, a meeting was held in San Jose, California. The hotel we booked failed to tell our meeting planners that “FurCon” was being held in San Jose at the exact same time as our meeting. Imagine the serious, straight-laced utility people surrounded by “furries.” That was some serious weirdness.
