The Charlie Kirk Thread

So maybe the shooting is unrelated to "trans issues" but how insane would it be for his wife to explain the motive to his kids if it was?

"Well, fewer than 1 in 1000 of people in our country have strong enough gender identity anguish that they take hormones to feel better about themselves. And a subset of that group goes from boy to girl, about a third id as girl, but a third id as non-binary. So a small subset of that small subset wind up playing games called sports. So unfair playing of games by a teeny fraction of people is the reason why your father was mad, and the shooter didn't like the way your father was treating the 0.1% of people"

That’s interesting then because then the picture is called into question. When was the pic taken and why do they think it’s him? That gun couldn’t be disassembled to fit in a backpack. Possible he pre-staged the gun, so it wouldn’t be on him leading up to the event to avoid him possibly being caught, but then how do they know it’s this guy?

Yeah he could have put it on the roof the night before, and when he jumped off the roof he

By way of the gun, if it was an AR or similar, it only has a couple of pins holding together the major components that are easy to remove and break it down small enough to fit in a backpack. Would take less than 30 seconds to break down and reassemble, especially if it also had a collapsible buttstock.

If it was the bolt action hunting rifle described in the earlier post, it would be impossible to break down to backpack size, which would suggest prepositioning the gun on the roof at another time, but seems odd that there wouldn’t be a pic of the rifle coming down the stairs since it was not left at the scene.

The selective release of info and the initial reluctance to post a pic when they knew who the person of interest was is making a lot of things highly suspect.

I thought he jumped off the roof ? If so he could jump with the gun. He could have also dropped the gun in shrubs assuming there were some and picke the gun up once down on the ground.

He most certainly did not try to unilaterally forgive all student loan debt. First, it was, what, $10K per person? $15K?

It was a trillion dollars....

Second, he was pursuing authorization specifically given to him by Congress, and not just in some bullshit "emergency" form.

The courts disagreed.

Third, he had his agencies follow the law when crafting the policies.

The point is that he tested his powers, was shot down and tried another way to accomplish the same thing.

The use of OSHA was similarly justified. OSHA is about creating safe workspaces. Workspaces with potentially deadly viruses floating around are not particularly safe. That some people didn't want to obey the mandate is of little moment. There are few OSHA mandates that people love. That's why they have to be mandates.

Well, it's a good thing Trump is the authoritarian and not you. :rolleyes:

When I told my wife that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, she had no idea who I was talking about.

After Lee Harvey Oswald was killed, I complained to my father about the newspapers using the term assassinated to describe his killing. My father explained to me that the term assassinated isn't related to my or anyone else's personal opinion of the person killed, but to the overall societal impact of the violent killing to society.

This assassination of Charlie Kirk has the potential to have a larger impact on American politics than the attempted assassination of President Trump onnthe eve of the Repiblican National Convention in 2024.

Yeah, some time last night (or was it this morning?) my wife was looking at her phone and asked, “Who’s Charlie Kirk?”
