I heard one analyst say the pastor was also affiliated with law enforcement, some kid of chaplain.

Maybe the Gov of Utah is right that everybody would be a lot better off if just took some breaks from social media for a while and 'go outside'. I'll be back sometime down the road but a lot of good college football games tomorrow and politically charged social media often is stirring pots of hate and blame. That means I'll also stay off the Football board threads this weekend if we lose, as that experience can be just as toxic as any politics thread

Dang the way the tone shifts instanty in this thread from all the false information and the desire from yall to run with anything that you want to be true is crazy






And of course the shooter doesn't fit the demographics to be the boogeyman and so now the deflection and conspiracy theories start up again.

It's almost like we should be blaming the shooter rather than each other.

thousands of leftists celebrating online, happy to watch close up videos of the fountain of blood gushing out of Charlie Kirk's neck as life left his body is my main concern.

There's somewhere around 350 million people in this country. When I say the extremists are not the norm, I mean it. You're complaining about thousands and somehow think it's okay to lump another 150 million or so people in with them.

your boy lumped me in with 75 million other of his citizens as "extremists"


your comrades are the cause of where we are now.

your comrades who vote like you are so happy about the political assassination that just took place.

Jesus Christ, y'all have really lost the plot. I mean right wing circles refuse to acknowledge the political murder by a MAGA person in Minnesota. Have celebrated the pickup driver who had a picture of Joe Biden tied up on the back of his truck. Have made hilarious jokes about the guy who beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer. And this is just something the left caused? This is not just a right wing problem, but the inability to accept that maybe we are part of the problem is causing the political and democratic decline of this country.

I think it's time that people accept the fact (on both sides of the political spectrum) that we've been radicalized by the internet and our own information bubbles. This board is a perfect example of this complete untethering from the truth and desire to believe whatever politically divides this country the most. Wake up. I hope "the terminally online right" takes this opportunity to reflect on just how out of control the need to believe whatever pushes us to "civil war". Go outside. America is a wonderful place with wonderful people of all political persuasions. Or sit on the internet and Fox News circlejerking about the civil war you're ready to fight - I'm sure that will make your life better.

Too be honest Paul Pelosi being half dressed and drunk with a "attacker" with a hammer in the middle of the night deserves jokes. I don't recall the right saying they wished the "attacker" had bashed his brains in at all, on the contrary, we were just waiting for Paul to come out and tell the truth But that didn't happen.

No one wants civil war. However, if you're not aware of many on the left's propensity for violence, you're not paying attention...

"When counting only left-leaning respondents, justification for killing Trump rose to 55% and Musk to 48%."

EDIT: BTW, the nutjob in Minnesota had a stack of "No Kings" flyers in the backseat of his car. Doesn't sound MAGA to me.

My son asked a friend about the HEY Facists and notice the bulges.
The writting on the bullets. The hey facaist catch is from a game called Helldiver. And then another one was about "notices bulges" implying the trans thing

I got your plot.

Teach and promulgate neo-Marxism. That America is evil. The Founding Father's are evil. The West is evil. White people are evil. We are on stolen land and "some white people may have to die."

Foment revolutionaries rioting in the streets, destroying public and private property, calling out that their needs to be "blood in the streets," and to "eliminate whiteness," encouraging and celebrating murder, supporting terrorists and antisemitism, threatening Jewish students, assaulting and ambushing law enforcement, threatening Supreme Court Justices, attempting to assassinate the President.

Calling the barbaric murder of Israelis justified

Praising the murder of two Israeli diplomats.

Applauding the assassination of a CEO.

Posting vile messages at two failed attempts to assassinate the President.

Mocking white children murdered while praying.

Mocking the murder of a Ukrainian woman.

Celebrating and mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

All this while twistedly proclaiming moral superiority and ridding the earth of evil.

I got your plot.

The up right down thing or whatever the sequence was is also from Helldivers.

Per the Apostle Paul:

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

It was and remains hilarious. Paul, habitual drunk driver and genius stock trader, got his ass beat by his crazy butt buddy boyfriend after a drunken spat. Perfectly puro San Francisco. Nan's been drunk for 40 years and probably doesn't even remember.

I was nodding in agreement with you until the bolded part. You say a lot of things many moderates will agree with and then just **** right in their laps. Be self reflective. That applies to the left too. The "terminally angry and victimized" left needs to turn off MSNBC and CNN. Get off reddit Stay off democrat underground. Stop calling every person you disagree with a racist xenophobic Nazi. You can't just chastise the bad behavior on the right without also accepting and acknowledging the bad behavior on the left. YOU are part of the problem.

Yeah, you don't know anything about his family. How about let's start there.

---

Do you have any information the family was not "normal"?

I know it is commonplace to blame the parents when their offspring does something wrong, but this was a 22 year old grown adult. What is the age at which the individual is responsible for their own actions and it ceases to be the parents to blame?

Further, kids can be raised perfectly "normally" and still turn out wildly different than they were raised once they enter into adulthood and begin to forge their own path through life. Once they are out of the house, a parent's influence is greatly diminished in comparison to their social circles, online circles, and a litany of external factors.

You see myriad cases where a family will raise multiple kids the same way in the same family dynamic and for whatever reason one of them goes down a dark path competely counter to the beliefs and ideals they were raised with. Is that the parents' fault even though the other kids were perfectly fine?

Is it sometimes the fault of crappy parents? Sure. But the tendency on here to instantly assume the parents are to blame is disappointing, and reeks of people who have never had children. It is like my sister-in-law who never had children trying to give us parenting advice. We just smile and nod and roll our eyes when she leaves.

I think anyone that really believes the right wing is free of blame from instigating rhetoric and somehow the left is the only culprit is just downright willfully ignorant (to put it nicely).

We completely lost the ability to be reasonable in the country and we somehow think if we don't agree with someone they are wrong and it's just a big ass circus.

I've struggled the past three days to figure out how we rail against someone who punished Charlie Kirk for words he said because they made them mad, and then turn around and get people fired for words they said that make us mad. It makes my brain sore trying to reason this out. The left and right in this country is off the rails and I find both sides to be at fault.

The Internet and social media is a huge problem in making things worse. The things people have said online would never in a billion years be said to a target audience or person within arms length. The keyboard warrior can say what they wish with anonymity and free of repercussion in most cases and that has spilled into real life which is why you have people arguing and debating in political debates and forums that are massive ********s. Likewise the ones being pissed off now feel it's totally fine to doxx someone or shoot them in the neck.

It's absolutely ****ing crazy where we are and the worst of it is that it's a handful of *******s that have big platforms and loud speakers causing this mess.

Even on this forum, you cannot have a differing opinion without someone using a shallow insult as a response. I've seen several
Posters make very good contributions only to have some dork respond with "typical liberal" or "sorry your guy lost". It's unbecoming, proves the responder has nothing of substance or intelligence to properly respond or debate, and it just degrades the discussion. It's like watching my teenagers argue with each other. We fix them by killing the discussion until they can come act like people who want to actually be heard but that's tougher to to in the internet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the perp seems to be a classic Antifa. Are they considered alt left or right now?

The most generic-looking white guy in the world is "classic Antifa"? Interesting.

has the typical young, beta male, slightly nerdy/socially awkward look that is pervasive among Antifa

Charlie's killer was radicalized by the utterly ubiquitous, totally mainstream view on the Left, routinely articulated by every Democrat: Conservative views are "hateful." This is the source of political violence in America, and not one of them will take responsibility for it. https://t.co/uuFT44WXuk

timcast is going through the killer's memes and says there's reference to furry porn. what a country.

I think some dads out there need to understand that guns won't make your quirky son into a man.

Appalling. Democrats must take responsibility for the consequences of their decade-long dehumanization of conservatives.

“When he was shot, there were cheers from the balcony [behind Kirk],” she said. “It was horrific to be a part of. There was just no human empathy.” https://t.co/4WMPtalNOq pic.twitter.com/m6GuCuqn69

Did you just compare being fired for hateful social media posts to being murdered at a debate event??

I'm sorry, but you're telling me the group who was screaming civil war and the left is a bunch of murders etc. is having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the murder was likely very right wing. Maybe, the reaction by both Donald Trump (great leadership by the way) and right wing echo chambers has gone too far.

Americans should be looking to eliminate politic violence not escalate it - even in the wake of a political figure being murdered

Always the rights fault. Violence comes from the left at far higher percentages, but it's always turned around to blame the right.

It's truly uncanny how everything the left accuses the right of, the left is actually more guilty of themselves. Always amazes me

According to the governor, the bullets had 'hey fascist, catch' written on the casings. Do you know what antifa claims to mean?
