Quote from: Bruno on September 12, 2025, 04:11:46 AMI just hope the crazy gun nuts notice that America has gotten bored with school shootings, and if they really want to get people's attention, they'll have to shoot a right-wing commentator.

Or a CEO, although it does seem like the Blackstone CEO was forgotten about pretty quickly.

Charlie's last words

QuoteATTENDEE: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?

KIRK: Too many. [Applause]

ATTENDEE: In America, it's five. Now, five is a lot, right, I'm going to give you — I'm going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?

KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?

And then he was shot by a member of a rival gang; The Groypers.
Formerly something else...

I found the following statement, on a political site I usually trust, about Charlie Kirk's recent experience with what he himself had said are acceptable consequences of the Supreme Court's latest interpretation of the Second Amendment:

"The alleged killer was reportedly a right wing extremist who killed Charlie for not being right wing enough."

But, I have not been able to find any evidence that supports that statement. So, I find your more specific post to be of particular interest.

Eh, tbh the evidence for that is pretty weak. It's all pretty vague, and honestly I wouldn't be THAT surprised if they announced that they got the wrong guy AGAIN.

It won't surprise me if the assassin does prove to be a right-wing extremist, who strongly identifies with the Nick Fuentes sect of his tribe. And, I've seen a fair number of articles, posts, etc. on the internet that have stated that that is indeed the case.

And, predictably, I'm also seeing a lot of right-wing pushback claiming that the assassin had recently fallen under the dread, biblically evil influence of the political left. Now, I don't believe that to be the case for a heartbeat. But, given that this assassination took place in the deep, deep, blood-red state of Utah, and the FBI is currently being run by a shameless, incompetent partisan, the tribe is going to exert tremendous pressure on everyone, especially those who may know the actual truth about the assassin's political allegiances, to conform to the right-wing ideology of the tribe.

And so, I'm pretty sure we now merely get to watch, and participate in yet another right vs. left propaganda skirmish.
