REVEALED: FedEx killer was a ‘Brony’ obsessed with My Little Pony and bought two rifles after his shotgun was seized under Red Flag Law ‘because he never had a competency hearing’

The gunman who killed eight at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was a ‘Brony’ obsessed with the children’s cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, who was allowed to legally purchase rifles despite having his own shotgun seized.

Brandon Scott Hole, 19, never had a competency hearing after police seized his gun over suicide concerns last year under Indiana’s ‘red flag’ gun law, records show. 

If a judge had found him dangerous or incompetent at the hearing, Hole would have been barred from buying another gun. If not, his shotgun would have been returned to him under state law. 

Public records show his gun was seized last March 3, after his mother called the authorities over concerns Hole had said he wanted to commit ‘suicide by cop’. However, the nation then went into lockdown as the coronavirus pandemic gripped the globe, closing courts, which may explain why he never received a hearing. 

Meanwhile, investigators continued to seek a motive in the massacre as Hole’s bizarre final Facebook post offered little insight on what drove him to the shooting.

“Mr Robert did not rule out those prospects,” reports NCA NewsWire.

“All of that will need to be worked through before a policy prescription goes live,” said Robert.

The minister also mentioned the authoritarian methods that were already in place to enforce the policy.

Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor Families Ask Black Lives Matter Where Money Went

The families of Michael Brown and Breonna Taylor — two of the iconic victims in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement — are questioning the funding of the movement, with Taylor’s family calling the Louisville, Kentucky BLM branch a “fraud.”

Earlier this month, when the New York Post reported Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors had bought four homes since 2016, New York City area Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome called for “an independent investigation.”

Those concerns are now being amplified by other figures within the movement, after Khan-Cullors defended her real estate purchases last week as part of her effort to support her family, and claimed her wealth was not due to the organization itself.
