Charlie Kirk Shot and Killed In Utah

[Noodles]

The shooter: Authorities are still searching for the suspect, the mayor says. A person who was taken into custody at Utah Valley University was not the suspect, according to a person familiar with the investigation and was not authorized to speak publicly. It was not clear if authorities were still searching the campus for a suspect.

Let's hope they didn't arrest a random Dem

My thought was the opposite.

They foind the person but they were some right eing nutjob, so they de ided to try to find some Dem to pin it on and let the other person walk.

I wonder what is more dangerous, holdong a "Conservative Event" or simply being (Insert minority group).

Poor Grok, it'll be so demolished when it learns the truth.

Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

I gotta be honest, I didn’t even know who this guy was before seeing his picture. I mean, I didn’t recognize his name, though I think I’ve seen his photo here. Is he really that famous? He isn’t even a politician. Why are the flags at half mast? There was even a moment of silence before a Yankees game.

I must be in one of my discombobulation phases. I couldn't read that article and I always like Jezebel. Not their fault or yours, my brain is doing weird stuff.

Sadly I did. His name (and several others) pop up repeatedly on r/MurderedByWords, as people run across them getting their abhorrent B.S. brutally fact-checked online.

He was sorta their 'token fratboy/yuppy catholic', and just one of their very active 'token' agitators directly or indirectly following the heritage foundation's lead:

• Nick Fuentes - token 'incel/gen z (catholic)'
• Matt Walsh - token 'authoritarian/angry dad (catholic)'
• Candice Owens - token 'black'
• Tomi Lahren - token 'blond'
• Ben Shapiro - token 'jew'
• Steven Crowder - token 'cool dad'
• Ann Coulter - token 'intellectual woman'
• Milo Yiannopoulos - token 'queer' (they dumped him quick when he started saying that child sexual abuse was maybe okay)
• Jordan Peterson - token 'intellectual/psychologist'
• Tim Poole - token 'fake "reformed" liberal/centrist/independent thinker' (big scandal involving being paid indirectly by Russia)
• Catturd - token 'internet troll'
• Gunther Eagleman - token 'militant patriot'

dishonorable mentions:

• Kevin Sorbo/Dean Cain - token 'hollywood washout/dimwits' trying to be edgy enough so they won't be forgotten.

They're the new generation of Glenn Beck, Dinesh D'Sousa and Tucker Carlsons.

Conspicuously absent from the list... token 'latinos'. I'm sure there are a few, but they're so low profile they haven't crossed my radar.

I revised the thread title. Seeing the rhetoric on social media, I am really scared for what comes next.

Nick Fuentes is technically a Latino.

Nick Fuentes is technically a Latino.

Like 25% supposedly (his father is/was half-Mexican), so he's closer to being 'latino in name only'

He's not speaking to or for Latinos, unlike the other tokens and their groups. He's dismissed or denied his heritage and espouses vehemently white nationalist/supremacist rhetoric.

Charlie was the victim of a school shooting while downplaying school shootings, while an actual school shooting was happening in Colorado. America in 2025.

• Gunther Eagleman - token 'militant patriot'

I thought Gunther Eagleman was a parody account. Or maybe there is a similarly named parody account.

No, though he is a parody of himself. He is a pathetic disgraced former cop.

 

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

Just another sad tipping point with America running further down the autocracy hill: when rightwing nuts raid the Capitol with violence what they get from 47 is a royal pardon.

When this happens - which is sad - it is a welcome reason to let hell break loose on all political opponents.

I do wonder if this will turn out into the American Reichtstagsbrand.

People are saying that the video response from Trump on Instagram is AI generated.

That means you're probably human. I run into it all the time.

Poe's law, right?

To me, "Parody" is a funhouse mirror that exaggerates in an unflattering way, to amplify the imperfections and shortcomings of the target. An attempt to show the target how ridiculous they look to the rest of us, or at least to commiserate with others that have to endure the target's antics.

Gunther just loyally parrots the same narrative, seemingly without irony. As a mirror, he reflects what they seem to admire about themselves, mainly being intolerant authoritarian asshole to anyone who isn't in their "your sex/skin color/wokeness makes you too dumb to understand why it's better for white men like us to own/run everything" club.

“THIS IS WAR”: Some Right-Wing Figures Call for Retribution Following Kirk Killing

Oh, brother. Here we go. Please, can the shooter just be a disgruntled redneck? Or maybe Rush Limbaugh raised from the dead?

Conservative activist and Trump confidant Laura Loomer sent a barrage of posts to her 1.7 million followers. In one, she called for the Trump administration to “shut down, defund, & prosecute every single Leftist organization,” adding, “The Left is a national security threat.” After Kirk’s death was confirmed, she wrote: “They sent a trained sniper to assassinate Charlie Kirk while he was sitting next to a table of hats that said 47.” It is unclear which “they” she was referring to.

“More people will be murdered if the Left isn’t crushed with the power of the state,” Loomer added.

Even President Donald Trump blamed the shooting on “radical left political violence” in an Oval Office address Wednesday night.

Former White House staffer and current podcast host Katie Miller, wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, wrote on X that liberals “have blood on your hands.” And Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) went so far as to blame the killing on the Democrats.

When Pelosi's husband was beaten nearly to death and Democratic state leaders were targeted and killed, we got crickets from the Right.
