Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter remains at large]
jkates replied to Laguna's topic in Daily Texan
It is hard to fathom how a person could get onto campus in a modern city, set up with a rifle, fire it, and then disappear like a fart in the wind. I served on a jury in a criminal trial a few weeks ago in Harris County. There was so much video of the suspect it was as if we were watching a TV show. Cameras at most intersections he passed through, license plate readers, cell phone images. Have to think they will find this person pretty quickly, even if he ran off initially. -
Yeah I would really like to know some more about his devout Christianity. Where did he attend services? Did he have a pastor or mentor? Was he baptized, born again, or confirmed in any denomination? Attending services at a church is not necessarily a sine qua non of Christianity, but to live a Christian life without organized worship tends to require more spirituality than Kirk evidenced.

24 years later and my eyes still well with tears when contemplating that day.

The point is there is an entire fucking forum for that. A lot of people like to click on this thread to see if any updates on the killer/investigation and have to wade through Cloak room bickering per usual -
It's all about feelings - Kirk played their feelings to get them mad about the things that were useful to him, and now "he was a Christian!" is being used to paper over everything that everyone full well remembers him saying about exactly this kind of a thing now that it has happened to him and the people who liked what he had to say when it happened to others need some help with the cognitive dissonance. He was a good Christian man. A father. A husband. By all accounts he was kind. A Christian. They are attacking you, what will you do?

From The Guardian: FBI says weapon believed to have killed Charlie Kirk has been recovered Speaking to the press, Robert Coles, the Special Agent in charge of the FBI Salt Lake Field Office, said that officials have recovered a “high powered bolt action rifle” they believe to be the weapon used in yesterday’s shooting. “A rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled” and the FBI laboratory will be “analyzing this weapon”, Coles said. He added that investigators have also collected “footwear, impression, a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis”. Share 5m ago09.23 EDT Mason adds that officials have been able to trace the shooters movement after the attack: “He moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building, and fled off of the campus into a neighborhood.” He goes on to say that investigators “do have good video footage of this individual”, but said they would not release the footage at this time. “We’re working through some technologies and some ways to identify this individual. If we are unsuccessful, we will reach out to you as the media, and we will push that publicly to help us identify them,” he says. -

Just saw a report on the NY Times about this https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09/11/us/charlie-kirk-shooting-news Gift link for those that don't have a sub - https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09/11/us/charlie-kirk-shooting-news?unlocked_article_code=1.lE8.X4wJ.3zVlet3ovxB9&smid=url-share Whoops left out the report of the video footage too -
You're right. Anybody expressing 50/50% views on college campuses - the sacred place where ideas must not be debated - deserves to be shot dead.

For the people affected by the death of Charlie Kirk: I can understand the concern and shock of such a heinous act. What is happening to this country and world? How did we get here? Why is their so much divisiveness, hate, and violence? What happened to caring about our fellow man? Why are some people not deeply disturbed or angry about this? All understandable questions. Here is something to consider. There are lot of people who feel like this every day. Every. Fucking. Day. We see Palestinian kids with their limbs blown off. Dead children in Gaza or in our very own schools are commonplace. We see a POTUS and MAGA movement that by the hour tries to divide Americans. Masked ICE agent ripping people off the streets. US troops invading our cities. So when we're screaming at the top of our lungs, freaking out over the continued destruction of America, trying to reach people that are blinded or don't truly care, we get a little pissed off when people pop in with a brief moment of moral clarity. We anticipated this horror. We tried to warn y'all. You didn't listen. So fuck off with the judgement of how people feel about Charlie Kirk's death. Every day things get worse. We're fucking tired. We don't have the energy to unite in solidarity over another needless form of hate/violence when you've been covering your eyes and ears for so long. Wake up.

That's such ignorant horseshit. He literally called for nonviolence for years. He may have said and believed many things others don't, but his message was not about violence. Anyone who listened for more than a sound bite understands this CK_IdeasCollide.mp4 . -
On XM. “They” is FBI I believe.

Enjoy your vacation. You are explicitly arguing with me and posting bullshit in this thread after reading and acknowledging my post. You can't handle being a fucking adult or being on this site. -

Can you please reference where you are seeing this? "They" isn't helpful. -
2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

CPI comes in a little warm while jobless claims tick up. Dual mandate pressures weighing on the Fed.
