Charlie Kirk Shot in the Neck in Utah (Update: Shooter Alt-right links)

I genuinely think he's not intelligent enough to have that self realization.
Now we wait and see how he is used as a Martyr, or a Sinner. By people who only see the political advantage and not large stack of dry tinder everyone is standing on.
Battle lines forming in various European nations, Nepal blowing up, economic pressures. Not even seeing much news out of The southern hemisphere.
He is going to be a footnote in a long and bad 2nd half of the decade.

Thanks! I wish I still had that much hair!Definitely Optimus prime
I'm hurt! Why, Opti, why are you so hurtful on such a sad day?
I think this will help the lying Repugs in the midterms just like that missed shot at Trump helped him win the election.
I didn't insult you, I made a real time observation based on your personality and behavior. I know a whole bunch of profanity if that was my motive. And according to you this isn't a sad day, it's a self fulfilling prophesy that you seem to be relishing in while pretending to be compassionate. Classy as fuck!!!
This is a mistake from the right to attribute such ill will towards people on the left even when they express condolences.
It is the same one Juan made.
Nobody is happy Charlie died.
You dont have to like Charlie to feel sad that this happened.
Kirk's words below yet you refuse to follow his teachings! Kirk was also a very religious man and now he's gone to his happy place, yet you insist on attacking me. I don't understand it Opti. If you released all this profanity you claim to know, I'd be lost because I've never said a bad word in my life.
"I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage"
The right Trump MAGA cannot comprehend the grey area when things like this happen. For them, suddenly, all liberals wanted him dead and are cheering.
MAGA's live in a black or white society. If you are not like me, you are my enemy.
All righties project their true faults onto others.
I am not interested in the opinion of a black racist
It's unfortunate you aren't able to interpret his comments for what they are. Facetious, back handed and downright ignorant. I understand though. You and he support each others positions so you're just being a good friend. Hopefully you're cut from a finer moral cloth.
Correct me if I'm wrong. You believe wherever his spirit may be he's saying, 'whoa, cool, this is exactly what I wanted'?
Is this posted to a higher standard?
Seems like a good time to try to tone it all down a bit.
The guy got killed, I personally think he had shitty views but nobody should be killed just for being an asshole.
Hope they catch the person that did it and he is put on trial.
When I got home and heard the news, I was too curious to see what the thread on here would be like.
Honestly much less batshit than I expected.
Out in the wider world, we're already seeing the spin and conspiracy theorizing:
No one knows shit yet, of course.
We don't know if it was a political hit or just attention seeking.
There is a good chance it was political of course, he focused on youth politics and the youth have grown up under trump and so are far more likely to believe violence is an appropriate way to deal with political problems.
If it was political, we don't know what the politics of the shooter were and may never know if they aren't caught. (And even then.)
Kirk will be wildly sane-washed by the press, and the right-wing will go even further to sanitize him, they aren't going to waste a good martyr opportunity.
I expect this will get WAY more press and longer legs than any other political attacks so far this year.
While from everything I've seen of him, he seems like a pretty vile person, stochastic terrorism in general is bad for the country and plays more into the hands of extremists and authoritarians in general, no matter the target or the motivation of the shooter. Nothing good is likely to come of this, and much bad.

- It was someone who is trans
- They promised him they would fake an attempt like with Trump but then missed or double-crossed him
- Security was deliberately pulled
- The first guy was the shooter, but the evil Deep State forced the cops to cover it up
