The Charlie Kirk Thread

[ZenMode]

Do you agree that the government can prohibit smoking in workplaces?

Explain how exhaling cancer-causing smoke in crowded enclosed workplaces is different from exhaling a deadly virus.

Banning smoking in public areas is not the same as a government forcing you to be injected with something.

It's really pretty amazing to see how many people support the idea of the government forcing basically every employed person in the country to get vaccinated and not even blink an eye.

You certainly aren’t the first one to think it. Hell, I wondered (and the thought continues to linger) if our government did it, the moment the “transgender and anti fascist” ideologies were “found” engraved on the casing.

This is an intractable problem with maga - they lie about everything and believe anything; thus, it’s absolutely impossible to trust the most basic information emerging from the government. Not to mention, this is allegedly the representation of American domestic investigative competence …

Why does Kash Patel always look like he just shit himself when he thought he was going to fart.

 

[HandsonFire]

So he’s been caught. This is really weird to me. No other suspect being caught has ever been treated in this manner. Anyone else struggling with what to think of this?

NYT:

President Trump said on Friday that a person was in custody in connection with the fatal shooting of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, and while he cautioned that his information was preliminary, said it was “the person we’re looking for.”

Mr. Trump offered few details in an interview with “Fox and Friends.” But he said that a minister who is a member of law enforcement had communicated with the father of a suspect in the shooting and that the person was turned in to the authorities. A law enforcement official confirmed the details of the president’s remarks, adding that a man had been taken into custody around 11 p.m. Friday by Utah state and local police.

The official, who requested anonymity to discuss details of the investigation, said that federal authorities were not releasing the person’s name because they were still pursuing leads and executing search warrants.

The apparent capture came after two people were taken into custody on Wednesday, the day of the shooting, but later released after the authorities determined that they had not been involved. On Thursday, the authorities released video and photo images of a person seen on a nearby roof during the shooting and pleaded with the public for help finding answers.

11 PM Friday hasn't happened yet but...

That slick dismount from the building was crucial in him getting out of the area quickly.

Yeah, that leaped out at me too. That move was smooth enough that you feel like it must have been rehearsed in terms of the specific sequence of movements needed for that dismount.

I think it's pretty fucking hilarious to see the folks who RAGED against wearing a fucking mask or taking a vaccine (and are STILL raging) roll over and CHEER the government on as they roll down our streets with tanks and strip away our basic rights EVERY fucking day.

 

[dukeman92]

I don’t think it’s that outlandish at all. The longer we go without the shooter being apprehended the more it feels like a really well done professional hit.

It's crazy. This guy fired the biggest shot in Utah since the '98 finals and nobody knows where he is.

Who could have figured two podcast hosts weren't qualified to run the FBI?!?

Two questions :

If there is a suspect in custody, how long will it be before the suspect is cleared just like the previous suspect in custody was cleared ?

How long before Trump pushes for "Charlie Kirk Day" to be made a national holiday ?

 

[whatntarnation]

If you take all the post/tweets like this and replace "charlie kirk" with "Allah", it sounds exactly like the taliban's response to Charlie Hebdo

or 'The Satanic Verses'. They are, what they claim to hate, an American taliban.

while wearing masks...

while wearing masks...

They don't think the government is there to restrict their rights. They don't care if the government stomps all over the rights of people they see as unworthy of those rights or of respect.

Law enforcement officials said they will hold a news conference in Utah about 7:30 a.m. Mountain time. The briefing comes after President Trump announced the possible capture of a subject in the Charlie Kirk shooting.

It being treated like this just fuels the conspiracy theories of it being an inside job. Why is trump announcing this on Fox and friends? And not the fbi out in Utah?

And a minister talked him into to driving to the police station and turning himself in? That’s what it sounds like he’s saying to me

 

[Heelsandeers]

I'm still amazed at OP's hostile work environment

It's also amazing to me how many people (apparently) seek the type of content Kirk was putting out

What is the Liberal equivalent to it? Is there one?

I wonder if this was already planned or if dum dum forced their hand by spilling the beans on Faux.

The man currently being questioned by law enforcement as part of the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s shooting was arrested in St. George, Utah, near Zion National Park, about 250 miles southwest of the campus where Kirk was killed, according to a law enforcement official who requested anonymity to discuss details of the ongoing investigation.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess the latter. That's very early for a press conference.

I'm talking about vaccines. Not quarantines. Not lockdowns. Not martial law or anything else that is similar to a quarantine.
