    Should be noted that the McD employee who reported the tip that led to the FBI finding Magione didn’t get paid.

    I guess it’s because they have to win a clean conviction according to the rules.

    So I guess the dad and priest cannot give a testimony since there is a financial conflict of interest.

    One important note is that this is why these social media companies having such a cozy relationship with the White House and leadership of the FBI is problematic. We all know that if the White House and Patel found out the identity of the shooter, and had a few hours before the name went public and there were social media posts that were problematic to their political narrative, Trump and Patel are not trustworthy enough to assume they would not call up Elon or Zuck to clean up anything problematic before his name goes public.

    Yeah, and it sounds like they got the shooter in custody.
    I guess I was completely wrong in my assessment, as well.

    This press conference is crazy. This is something you would expect to hear as an opening statement from a prosecutor after months preparing for a trial. I've never heard law enforcement talk like this when they arrest a suspect.

    I've never seen law enforcement norms thrown out like this for politicians at this level to take complete ownership of it, and personalize & politicize it like this.

    The way Kash, and the Utah Governor are talking, I do not get the sense that Robinson will be awarded due process. It looks very likely that he is guilty, and deserves justice, but the problem is this is already looking to be highly personal for Patel, and the White House.... and they are not allowing law enforcement & the justice system to do what the law intends.

    If this was my son.. of course I would do the right thing and obey the law, but given how "the law" in this case is obviously going to be overtaken by people like Trump and Patel, I don't know that I could live with myself knowing what was going to happen to him.

    I would think that the Utah state law is clear. It is less clear that a federal law has been broken. Trump certainly wants his FBI and DoJ torun the show. We will see.

    Ben Shapiro takes over Turning point, so much of this is still not adding up.

    Shot with a .22 rifle? I mean, chances are that wasn't going to kill him at all - just unlucky that Kirk got hit in the jugular.

    So the kid comes from a conservative Mormon family. I bet we get a lot of silence from the politicians that literally declared war on liberals yesterday.

    Edit: Also the son of a cop.

    Day before Kirk was shot: "We are at War with the Left"
    Day Kirk was shot: "This means war. And this time I really really really mean it"
    Day after Kirk was shot: "We are at War with the Left"

    These people are letting hate run their lives and that can't be a good thing for them .. or anybody else ftm.

    Politics is a resolution to conflict, that doesn't involve violence.

    When politics breaks down, the conflict still exists and violence is always the result.

    This country was founded by violence, civil rights came about after violence......it is sometimes unavoidable.
