The Charlie Kirk Thread

Interesting thread! I follow a lot of commentators on the far right, but I'm unfamiliar with Cochran. But I hope he's right about the shooter's political motivations. That being said, none of this stuff about Groypers makes sense of the shooter's comment's about Kirk's speech.

Boy howdy, it's a rough day to be a particular couple of the conservative posters in this community who were so cocksure that the shooter was most assuredly a leftwing transgender lunatic, huh?

The Fuentes phenomenon is so bizarre and uniquely American. Potentially gay, Mexican, White supremacist

Also a huge Kanye West fan who worms his way into Kanye's orbit and convinces him to go full nazi on live tv

Impossible. We were assured by certain members of this very community that liberals were declaring civil war on everyone to the right of Mao.

do you have a link to reporting on this?

not challenging you, just curious. i think you said in another post that he allegedly made comments to friends and family?

Lololololol as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

To be fair... everyday is a bad day to be those guys.

A few thoughts on why I think this conclusion is wrong:

1) The kid is imitating the meme in 2018 as a 15-year-old. Kids change a lot between 15 and 22.

2) Pepe memes eventually expanded well outside the alt-right bubble.

3) This particular "gropnik" meme was never specific to the alt-right.

4) The bullet casings and his talk about Kirk's speech.

If you are looking for which party to blame, than maybe. But when you consider the fact that the internet is spreading hate, it absolutely matters. People susceptible to conspiracy often oscillate between views, and grow angry with those that they feel manipulated them in the past.

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?

Killed,? No, of course not.

Quit building strawmen.

But when someone (ahem...) reflexively and slavishly carries water for these reprehensible type then of course they share in the shame.

Get ready for the "real" issue to move to the front. Violent impressionable video games are back on the menu!

I saw it on the NYT this morning, but it's part of the "live news updates," so it's proving impossible to find. This godforsaken Canadian Yahoo! site references what Robinson allegedly said.

Tyler Robinson claimed Charlie Kirk was ‘full of hate,’ investigators say as they detail what led to his arrest

Federal law enforcement officials said Tyler Robinson’s family and family friend told authorities he ‘confessed’ to killing Kirk

Who else had 'former Trump-supporting Republican gun-lover on their "who was the assassin who killed Charlie Kirk" bingo card besides...oh wait...literally everyone whose mother and father aren't brother and sister.
