Police Kill QAnon/Trump Cultist After He Murders Wife

The Detroit News reports:

A Walled Lake man whose daughter said had been struggling with mental issues after embracing conspiracy theories was fatally shot by police Sunday after he allegedly shot and killed his wife and injured another daughter.

According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, police received a “chilling” 911 call at 4:11 a.m. Sunday from a 25-year-old woman who said her father had shot her and killed her mother, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. She was so distraught she could not give an address other than Glenwood Court, authorities said.

Rebecca Lanis said after President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, her father started falling deeper into “crazy ideas” online, including QAnon conspiracy theories about Trump and vaccines. “Nobody could talk him out of them,” she said.

The Daily Beast reports:

Rebecca Lanis told The Daily Beast that her father became obsessed with QAnon and other conspiracy theories in 2020, consuming huge amounts of online videos and following far-right figures like InfoWars’s Alex Jones.

According to his daughter, Igor Lanis was a car designer with no history of violence. She described her parents as once “extremely loving,” but her father changed after Donald Trump lost in 2020.

He insisted that family members watch conspiracy theories videos about the 5G cell towers, vaccines, and the election. He started to believe that some world leaders were in fact alien lizard-people in disguise, a fringe conspiracy theory even among QAnon supporters.

There have been a number of QAnon-related murders and kidnappings since Trump was elected.
