Benjamin Erickson has been identified as the person authorities detained after the Brown University shooting at Providence, Rhode Island on December 13.

Now, many social media handles have speculated about Erickson's political affiliation and whether he is MAGA and a Donald Trump supporter. To be sure, these are speculations from unverified profiles.
Erickson's actual political leanings are not known since his details have not been publicly shared by authorities. He only remains a person of interest, and authorities have clarified that he is not in custody, merely in detention, as a person of interest in the case. Is Benjamin Erickson MAGA and a Trump supporter? One profile on X claimed “Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin is the suspected Brown University shooter, a white MAGA right wing nut job. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the right are violent.” Alleged photos of Erickson that surfaced on the internet showed a white person with blond hair. Another added, “He seems like a MAGA voter." However, neither of these profiles have provided any proof to back their claims.
While Erickson's political leanings remain a matter of speculation for now, authorities reportedly found two handguns, including one with a laser attached for aim assistance, in the hotel room where the person of interest was. When asked about his whereabouts, the person said they'd been inside all the time, as per CNN.

I love how they admit there’s no reason to think so, and then go ahead and advance the claim.
I'm going to need a microscope to see the hairplitting between custody, detention and arrested.
"If true,..."
A lie goes around the world before the truth gets out of bed.
Am I under arrest?
Am I free to go?
Am I being illegally detained?
I’m pretty sure it’s Shuvrajit Das Biswas who’s the real nut job here. The boy seems to have a lot of mental issues. JMO.
Is he an AOC antisemite or a Candace Owens antisemite?
They’d say he was MAGA if he had Biden-Harris bumper stickers on his car and Rachel Maddow was riding shotgun.
They said the same thing about the furry that planted the pipe bombs….
Earlier reports said he was 30 not 24 and recent updated reports are now saying he's actually 40. Eventually we'll get the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Unfortunately, it is hypothetically possible that he is a Trump supporter whose mind was poisoned by Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, et al.
” custody, v. detention?”
Splitting the hairs they are.
What is the narrative here?
The demoncrat army pawns and islamists have carried out so many shootings that it’s hard to keep them all straight, but with every one of them the MSM says it was a suspected Trump supporter and NONE of them have been.
Young blonde Trump supporter and US Army officer drove 17 hours from Wisconsin to Rhode Island, picked out a Jewish classroom, burst through the door screaming in Arabic and started shooting.
It seems ... surprising.
Do we know for sure that just wasn’t the first classroom he came to?
How did this ‘tard from Wisc. even know where to go?
CNN now reporting that Erickson on his LinkedIn page said he was a Brown student this fall. John Miller says his sources say he was either suspended or expelled.
Binyamin Erikstan?
He attended Brown according to CNN.
