Virtually one yr in the past, a youngster murdered his mother and father as a part of a plan to go after an even bigger goal.
That focus on would have been Donald Trump.
Now, Nikita Casap is eighteen and has pleaded responsible to the killings that he carried out.
An odd twist is that he doesn’t seem to have disliked Trump. We’ll clarify, as greatest we are able to, what his thought course of might have been.
It appears to be like like he needs to keep away from a trial
18-year-old Nikita Casap pleaded responsible to 2 counts of intentional murder.
This was a part of a deal over the homicide of his mother and father, The Related Press reviews.
In trade for these pleas, prosecutors dropped seven further expenses.
These expenses embrace theft, hiding a corpse, and working a motorcar with out consent. A lot much less severe expenses, as you possibly can see.
When he was 17, Casap allegedly killed his mother and father in an effort to acquire the autonomy and monetary assets to assassinate Donald Trump.
On February 28, 2025, police performing on behalf of relations carried out a welfare examine on 35-year-old Tatiana Casap and 51-year-old Donald Mayer.
Mayer had not been to work. Casap had not been at college.
In each instances, that they had been lacking from the general public eye for about two weeks.
Authorities discovered that they have been each useless — victims of a double murder.
This story solely will get weirder the extra that you just study it. Weirder and extra upsetting.
The timeline is morbid (at greatest)
In line with courtroom paperwork, Nikita Casap allegedly shot each mother and father on or round February 11.
He then spent a reported 12 days dwelling in the home with their corpses earlier than leaving.
He took jewellery, a gun, passports, round $14,000 in money, and the SUV. (He additionally introduced the household canine with him)
The identical day that authorities carried out a welfare examine, they situated him. Police in Kansas arrested him on February 28.
It was a comparatively easy matter to trace the GPS of the lacking automobile of a pair of murder victims.
What was much less easy was figuring out the stays.
As a consequence of decomposition, forensic analysts had to make use of dental data to determine Mayer and Casap.
One baffling element of the case is that Nikita apparently penned a three-page manifesto that allegedly explains the crimes to which he has now confessed.
His write-up praises Adolf Hitler (he additionally reportedly has ties to Neo-Nazi teams on-line, on Telegram and TikTok, although we have no idea specifics).
At first look, it doesn’t make any sense why an avowed fan of Hitler would wish to kill one of many foremost fascist figures of the twenty first Century. Our first thought was that he had merely misplaced contact with actuality.
Why would a fan of 1 fascist be plotting the assassination of one other?
Nevertheless, FBI evaluation of the manifesto (which has very moderately not been made public) makes it clearer.
It seems that this younger man is an accelerationist, and believed that assassinating Trump would set off a race battle — and that white People would triumph.
Accelerationists are white supremacists who consider {that a} race battle is inevitable. They want for it to occur now (or quickly), after they consider that they’ll win, as a substitute of sooner or later, after they consider that they may lose.
This evil ideology actually brings this assassination plot into focus. And illustrates that every one of that is ideologically constant.
It isn’t that he disapproves of the Trump regime — the best good friend to white nationalists to occupy the White Home in lots of generations. It’s that he believes that sacrificing one figurehead would spark a brutal race battle.
Happily, as we see with many evil-doers, his harebrained scheme was riddled with incompetence.
