Qanon-Believing Proud Boy Accused of Murdering 'Lizard' Brother With Sword

[Quixote1818]

Prosecutors say Buckey Wolfe spoke about reptile people and the illuminati, showing his beliefs are straight out of a wild pro-Trump conspiracy theory.

A self-proclaimed member of the far-right Proud Boys group who also believes in the QAnon conspiracy theory allegedly murdered his own brother with a sword.

Prosecutors say Buckey Wolfe, 26, killed his brother in Seattle on Sunday night by stabbing him in the head with a four-foot-long sword.

Wolfe, who prosecutors say exhibited signs of mental illness, called police himself after the killing and claimed he thought his brother was a lizard, The Seattle Times reported. When detectives arrived, he asked them if they saw other “lizards,” according to court filings. Wolfe has been charged with second-degree murder.

A Facebook page confirmed to belong to Wolfe by a local Seattle TV station is filled with references to Trump and other conservative figures, as well as the cartoon character Pepe the Frog, who has been embraced by the far-right.

6. This man should not be made fun of.

I know. It’s tempting. But trust me, mental illness attaches itself to things that “explain” delusional thinking like Velcro. 45 and his minions give broken minds modern day fodder and the awful energy to act on that delusional thinking. Once it would have been witches, or angels, or fire wheels burning in the air.

It’s complicated, and not for mocking.

Captian Kirk.

Lock this loon the fuck UP!
