Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter remains at large]

I did peak at /r/conspiracy (pro tip: most of them are not serious and consider conspiracy theories to be fun things for them to make up and/or amplify) and yeah, Provo's airport was mentioned. Surprise, surprise, they had already pegged an airplane or two (tail numbers, owners, etc.) that left within an hour of Kirk being shot, that either had their transponders turned off enroute, or flew somewhere where the transponders didn't work, and then returned to the airport after just enough time to fly somebody out of state. Maybe they are college football fans who are experts in FlightTracker. The current favored theories are A) Mossad/Israel did it or B) It's to deflect from the Epstein business. As far as helping the shooter escape, A) the old man police arrested was a diversion and B) the shooter flew out of Provo. Mormons also entered the conspiracy conversation. So, if you heard any of those items I just mentioned coming from family members/co-workers/acquaintances, just remember, they probably got it 3rd-hand from a group of people who make up conspiracy theories for fun, just to see how far they can get them spread. -

Admittedly more appropriate for next year’s thread bump but it’s hard for me to reconcile that next year will be 25 years (a quarter of a century!). In my mind that day somehow feels like a long time ago and yet not that long ago.

For those pointing their fingers at the left and calling for civil war, it's worth noting that political violence from the right dwarfs violence from the left. "Domestic terrorism incidents have soared to new highs in the United States, driven chiefly by white-supremacist, anti-Muslim and anti-government extremists on the far right, according to a Washington Post analysis of data compiled by the Center for Strategic and International Studies." https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2021/domestic-terrorism-data/

One, two, Freddy's coming for you.... Three, four, better lock the door.... I would say the OG slasher is still Psycho. Hearing from the olds, that messed people up. Like not showering alone in the house for weeks.

Remind me. Did you say this same thing when the Minnesota lawmaker was murdered by a right wing nut and another was wounded? -
I get it, conservatives don’t like the hate toward Charlie Kirk. Hey, I’m with you, hate no person, hate no living thing. but if you’re going to condemn those who are too weak on the left and say hateful things about Charlie Kirk, are you going to say anything about the hate Charlie Kirk said about others? This is not a gotcha game, I am here for the radical revolution of kindness LFG!

Lando is the new Sharon Moore. Good for him. Hope that's a decent chunk of change in his pocket.

10 years of the dehumanization of those you disagree with makes it ok to murder them for the lunatic fringe. Two failed presidential assassinations and one successful political assassination bear that out. Evil is real. Simple as that -

Yep. I've already heard from multiple people I know/am related to, all about Kirk and what this all means and how this is bad or good for whichever side they are on or oppose. Two days ago, if I said the name "Charlie Kirk" to these people, they, knowing I like Star Trek, would have asked if that was Captain Kirk's brother (that's George "Samuel" Kirk Jr you simpletons) or dad (George Samuel Kirk Sr). But, social media makes them experts on somebody they didn't know existed or who had only heard about in passing 24 hours before. Charlie Strong was absolutely right about social media being the downfall of society. -

I wish Charlie Kirk were alive. I wish he was less divisive when he was alive. I wish people would eschew being radicalized to political violence, whether they are drawn to it from the left or right. I wish there wasn't a machine that has been erected to mass produce them. I wish we had leaders who were more intent on fixing vs exploiting -- maybe even engineering -- our problems. I wish the people who are using this sad event as a platform for moral or ideological oneupmanship could see they are part of the problem, again, whether they are drawn to it from the right or left. I wish everyone would calm the fuck down, focus on their proximal lives and concentrate on the shit they can directly control, affect and make better. I wish I had taken my own advice sooner. I wish Charlie Kirk had, too. I wish Charlie Kirk's daughters had their dad. I wish the dad's of the kids shot at the Catholic school in Minneapolis 2 weeks ago and the public school in Evergreen, CO yesterday had their kids. I wish this world was worthy of my own kids. That is all. -
My “Yeah for Sure,” was a response to, “He’s not going to make it.” Not the “Man of God,” comment. But yes, I’m sure we do have different views on a few things.

The Majority Report has been covering the divisive, incendiary, idiotic shit Charlie Kirk has said for years and Sam Seder has debated Kirk previously in public and embarrassed him. This segment from four years ago in which they talk about a Kirk event in Boise in 2021 when a member of Kirk's own audience asks "when do we get to use the guns?" is very relevant today. The Kirk defenders and the pearl-clutching @Frank Hammer crying about the way we treat each ought to watch this clip.
