SHREVE, OH—Bolstered by a $3,000 graduation windfall and the resounding encouragement of the TikTok comments section, local aspiring entrepreneur Tycen Proper, 19, has reportedly quit his job at Subway to dedicate himself full-time to launching America’s hottest new amateur far-right assassination collective.

According to sources, Proper’s parents initially believed he was using the money for practical investments such as college tuition, a used Honda Civic, or a farm-raised goat. Instead, court documents reveal he used the funds to acquire an arsenal of tactical rifles and enough body armor to cosplay as a discount John Wick at the local LARPing field.

“Tycen was always a dreamer,” said his mother, Sharon Proper. “First it was pro gaming, then hydroponic lettuce, and now I catch him on his Nintendo Switch yelling about ‘storming the Octagon.’ Kids these days!”

Investigators say the group’s elaborate plan hinged on taking out former President Trump at a UFC match using encrypted WhatsApp messages, Google Maps printouts, and a sophisticated 10-point checklist loosely plagiarized from a Reddit thread titled ‘Assassination for Noobs.’

“When I asked Tycen what his goals were, he told me ‘to go viral and get a Netflix docuseries,’” said classmate Josh Kern, adding that Proper’s most detailed logistical plan so far was ‘get to DC via Megabus.’

Despite the failed plot, TikTok users praised Proper’s hustle. “He’s an inspiration to all of us who want to turn our parents’ money and lack of adult supervision into a criminal justice moment,” commented user @redpillpatriot420.
