This has been Debunked.

Maxwell was 30yo in 2018 when he was arrested, while this person is confirmed as being 20.

False.

This shooter is almost 15 years younger than Maxwell.

You watched something before law enforcement confirmed the shooter.

It literally cannot be Maxwell, as he was 30 5+ years ago, and this shooter is confirmed as being in his 20’s.

Maxwell Yearick was.

Already been thoroughly debunked.

Unless Maxwell’s age somehow regressed 15 years.

Long answer as I've read about them off and on for years after they first attacked Andy Ngo (2019). Another user mentioned his book, "Unmasked" and I have a copy on my to-read shelf. They're a self proclaimed " " group that's intentionally, horizontally organized as to be more effective (and harder to nail down by the likes of the state). They're anarchists (no state) in theory; this is why they allied with the defund the police movement during the Summer of Love, for example.

While their philosophies are markedly flawed you can read their stuff for free from the likes of, off the top of my head, rosecityantifa.org (self proclaimed to be founded in 2007 but was "just an idea", itsgoingdown.org, and crimethinc.com. I've read a few of papers from them and their affiliates. The one on London calling is gone, albeit dated with the progressions in cell technology, but it's interesting to learn about how they think. They don't get too much federal focus but should given that core belief. They want to end the fed too.

My commentary is just because our media is so corrupt and inept that such information can be easily found, and for free, but they lied about them for years. I have much disdain for them. At least Antifa is honest in what they posit.

This article from crimethinc explains why, to them, some speech is actual violence, something that I didn't get before reading it.

Anarchists might judge speech not as something fundamentally different from action, but as a form of action: when it harms others, when it reinforces hierarchies and injustices, we confront it the same way we would confront any other kind of abuse or oppression. This is simply self-defense.

It goes on to explain about taking action against a xenophobic politician speaking at a public university (some parts skipped, of course).

When we confront him directly rather than politely disagreeing, we’re not attacking his right to express his opinions. We’re confronting the special advantages he is accorded: taxpayer money, police protection, an exclusive soapbox. We’re confronting the power he wields over our lives through institutions built on violence, a power he means to extend by using speaking events to gain wealth, legitimacy, and recruits to his racist endeavors. Confronting him is a political practice that does not reduce freedom to rights, but challenges the privileges of the state—that makes no false dichotomy between speech and action, but judges both by the same standards—that does not enable the state to frame itself as the defender of free speech, but asserts that we are the only ones who can defend and extend our own freedom.

He clearly stated that he hates all republicans, in his video before death. And to be fair, we don’t like him either, but it’s old news.

Registered republican and gun guy. Fascinating world we live in.

The video posted is from an internet troll who looks somewhat like the shooter. It's not a real video. Yes, it's already been thoroughly debunked.
