The Charlie Kirk Thread

[ZZLPHeels]

So when Kamala Harris endorsed bailing out George Floyd protesters, and one of them went on to murder someone, that would justify a Republican killing, for example, Anderson Cooper?

Nope. But when the right openly calls for and celebrates political violence, they lose the right to play the victim.

We won't know for a few hours, and maybe not ever as the bosses claim credit whether deserved or not, but I suspect that the image that law enforcement put out had a lot to do with the arrest.

Finding the correct security footage quickly, getting the right suspect out of all the people that passed by that camera, and providing that to the public was good police work and there should be credit for that.

Great points. I agree

I'm watching CNN and they are referring to it as a capture.

Why it matters, I don't know, but...

So should early 20s white males be classified as a terrorist group, for consistency?

I can almost guarantee you that the vast majority of agents who have been in the FBI for a while and are at least competent in their jobs have 0 respect for him as an FBI Director.

The only people who have “new doubts” about his leadership are people who are just getting to know him.

Everyone else already knew he is completely unqualified.

How does that work? If any member of the "right" celebrates political violence, then all Republicans, or anyone who can be considered to be on the "right", should expect they might be killed and it's ok?

*sigh*

The right wing social media disinformation machine is already circulating a photo of someone who is NOT Tyler Robinson wearing a Salt Lake DSA shirt.

Let’s start with the President. Let’s compare the rhetoric from Trump with that of, say, Biden. We can even throw in some of Kirk’s quotes for good measure.

That’s awful. Particularly for his kids, that will live with the memory of their father being murdered in front of them.

They could also grow up watching their dad lie/troll women, minorities, gays etc…and play the Turning Point games.

He appears to have had plenty of weapons exposure growing up.

I might be going to hell for this, but inscribed on the third bullet casing in the rifle was…

“If you read this, you are gay. LMAO”

They have plenty of time to work the tip line?



When his father told clergy who turned him in (and reportedly dad held son for law enforcement)?
