[AP] Conservative activist Charlie Kirk dies after being shot at Utah college event

He is a hack.

That presser was quite detailed.

 

"Lulz" to be designated an extremist left wing terrorist organization.

Largely apolitical, 1 mention of Biden and Trump in the chat logs that were provided to Ken Klippenstein. No wonder they're struggling to attach a convenient ideological label on him.

I don't think it's possible to get away with a high-profile crime like this in an age of ubiquitous surveillance. He obviously would've been caught thanks to DNA, but cameras, search history, etc. would've eventually nabbed him.

I just finished re-watching The Americans for the first time in many years and so much of what they did in that show is impossible now thanks to technology.

 

Who has been repeatedly chided by a few of us.

 

While the right tries to make Kirk a Saint, why is it on the same day in Colorado where a white supremacist shot 2 kids doesn't even make the 72-hour news cycle...............is it because he is a trump supporter, now we just pick and choose which massacre were going to focus on

 

yup

if Charlie Kirk was a 12 y/o kid, none of the republicans would give a single fck and would have just tossed out some thoughts and prayers at most then went about their day

those kids don’t get flags at half-staff

 

The rest of us have him on ignore.

 

I'm probably pissing in the wind with this response, but whatever. The reason you're being called out for posting unsubstantiated, speculative, partisan, and "interesting" hearsay is because "do your own research" is the exact tactic used by the online right to undermine faith in everything. It is Donald Trump's "many people are saying" tactic to muddy the waters, degrade truth, and create a choose-your-own-adventure reality.

Yeah, it's probably time. My ignore list is why I don't see the other thread!

 

This is the guy MAGAs worship and rehabilitate @Os Trigonum

 

Those “text messages” between the shooter and roommate sound very fake.

"Inscrutable nihilist" is an apt description at this point.

 

As soon as I saw that he dressed up as pepe for halloween I was almost certain the kid was gonna be a 4chan incel OG Maga type.

Being raised by what appears to be a staunchly right wing religious family didn't help things either.

I'll admit I got way too much pleasure out of this being the possible motive after so many on the right went absolutely nuts with antileft bloodlust before Kirk was even pronounced dead.

 

Was he dressed as Pepe, or a gopnik?

I also thought there could be a stronger ideological connection with Fuentes and groypers.

But mostly I was worried that even if there was something there, it would be swept under the rug out of political inconvenience.

It's looking like the Fuentes connection is probaly minimal or incidental, but still, I'm hoping the photos and whatever else would be properly addressed at some point.

 

Yup - this isn’t language people use in texting, especially young people. Further there is no flow to it and it conveniently covers all of the topics in a few text messages.

It’s middle aged male fan fiction. I can’t give it the benefit of the doubt with an FBI that has been compromised. I really don’t want to feel this way, but it has been completely politicized by this administration.

 

MAGA never kills anyone who doesn't have it coming. Those kids are payback for Kirk!
