You should take TexasHammer’s bet if you're so confident. 

And also, idk who @UpperWestside is but going around and negging every post I have even on stuff like the Wnba is very Tyler Robinson behavior. Seek help.

yeah I will only read on tapatalk from now on, as TwiceHorn said the Mauser is just named after the use or the copying of the Mauser 98 bolt design, it is still to to this day the most bombproof for bolt action rifles, no German manufactured rifles back then chambered the 30-06, a lot of those actions and rifles are bring backs and have had the barrels reamed for different calibers than intended.

This was almost certainly an outburst of confused anger flowing from jumbled and contradictory political moods. A disturbed and agitated individual who will not be able to explain the connection of Charlie Kirk to his anger and his desired outcomes for himself or society in any way understandable to other people.
 

Nevertheless, under this FBI and administration we will likely get a selectively and carefully constructed narrative of designed and organized “radicalization” by an amorphous group of “leftists” because the president has already announced that’s what he wants. In an earlier generation, our leaders would have been relieved to explain this as the actions of an unstable individual acting on his on to turn the heat down. Now, they will weave a fictional meta narrative precisely to turn the heat up. 

I repeat: Horst Wessel.

Everyone seems pissy. Then I go to the IT post game show and they are like “nothing is fucked everything is fine.” We are in a simulation. From AI. And this assassin story is going to get much weirder probably, because they know now we can all handle weird. Waiting for UFOs to be involved with the assassin at some point, bc why the fuck not. 
 

I hate people care about the motive for reasons other than trying to figure out why this latest fucker did this. I’m transparent. I care bc I follow or study true crime. Why is always of import to me. But not so I can bash one side or the other politically with it. I’m trying to figure out how we stop these fuckers without it turning into the movie Minority Report. Like be preemptive but without violating someone’s rights. How can we get better at identifying “high risk” types? Without pigeon holing people who might just be a bit different? Is there any real way? Cuz FBI behavioral analysis profiles are like pretty damn good but by no means 100.💯 when they are trying to find an unknown offender.

Well for starters you probably don't empty out the local FBI office full of counterterrorism and counterintelligence experts that do exactly that type of work you're gesturing at. And, not having the President of the United States egging them on would be helpful too

For sure. I don’t care for any political person president or anyone else involving themselves in an investigation. Two I know there were a lot of firings and some conspiracy peeps think it was to make sure that Kirk would be assassinated. Yet they caught the unknown suspect in what 36 hours? He’s confessed to his father. He was caught. Not still on the lamb so to speak. So I get the criticism for the firings but I don’t know if that saves Kirk’s life. 
 

what’s weird is that both the dead Trump attempted assassin and this current assassin are both up on a roof in an outdoor venue with a public speaker and Many many people noticed them and yet no one was able to stop them from firing their weapons before it was too late. 
 

the BaU needs more agents not less, same with air traffic control and jobs of a similar nature. Some places aren’t cool to touch if you want to cut down the size of some agencies. That’s like a given. Or it should be. Not everyone can work 70 hours without stopping like at a Tesla plant.

Someone turning themselves in doesn't count as law enforcement "catching" them, IMO. If his dad hadn't owned up to his parenting failure, the kid would be on the lam still. A podcaster and a 23 year old gardener aren't exactly the A-team.

It's impossible to KNOW if something would have ABSOLUTELY had a specific effect. However we can infer that an action makes a situation be a greater or lesser threat. Those actions to fire the SAC and everyone else who failed the Presidential Purity Test absolutely did NOT reduce risk, or make things more difficult for someone seeking to do harm. I would argue that in fact made things easier for "bad guys" to do bad things.

Plus, ya know, the President explicitly saying that he's alright with the "right violence" really gives a blank check and a rhetorical nod to anyone else thinking of doing something evil and violent. With a couple of slapdicks in charge of law enforcement and counterterrorism

Well the decision to put out the pictures and I could be wrong is what caused his father to notice and he confronted his son and the son confessed. I think it happened that way and if wrong sorry. They were successful in finding someone who went out of his way to disguise himself but was so immature didn’t think there were cameras everywhere, left prints everywhere and so on, so LE did do their job bc it required getting tips from the public and disseminating those images. I don’t feel LE failed or anything and without cameras I have no idea how long it would have taken. But stranger crimes are the hardest to solve, or at least the world I haunt. Just fascinated by true crime. People will of course find double meaning in this, but this was a success. And it was a good strategy to reveal the pictures. Without them would they have been able to solve it as quickly? Not sure. How would they have tracked this individual without cameras? Everywhere? Maybe touch DNA from something he touched if the prints came up empty and gone the genealogy route? Best guess.

They had good video on the guy. And would have enhanced it in the FBI lab. You already knew his approximate age and that he lived in the area and had cased the scene pretty well. They also had DNA and prints. And he had sought help with the rifle and the engraving of the casings/bullets. He was getting caught whether he turned himself in or not.

You just wait; before long all of the administration approved podcasters and website folk will have their own 24 hour security, courtesy of ICE or whatever. 

Trump will sign the EO with lots of flourish and whatnot, touting that these treasures of our country need protection.

It's downright Orwellian and the height of irony to be coming from the Party that claims to love free speech and hate cancel culture

This is news. And if you don’t see the fascism apparatus going into a higher gear, you are a moron.

Quote

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed Friday that he and President Donald Trump would use this week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk to “dismantle” the organized left using state power.

In a rant on Fox News, Miller—the architect of Trump’s mass roundups and deportations of immigrants—shouted that the best way to honor Kirk’s memory was to carry out a political purge against the left, which he called a “domestic terrorism movement in this country.”

I'd argue that the keep it simple, stupid explanation is that the group that has been targeting Kirk for years, harassing him online and in person, going to his events to disrupt and force him to answer purity test questions, resulted in one of them finally shooting him. 

But who the fuck knows with these perpetually online dorks. Could be anything. Could be nothing (for the lulz).

Gotta say, it's chilling to see the fascist thought police and state sponsored cancel culture in action. People are being tattled on to employers for perfectly legal statements, and the employers are going along with it and punishing anyone who thinks contrary to the Party line.

That shit has been happening as far back as the early 2000’s. Bill Maher was kicked off ABC for saying the 9/11 terrorists weren’t cowards. Even though he left an empty seat for a regular conservative  contributor who died on one of the planes that day, it’s been going on for a long time. People being fired and disciplined or put on leave for making statements that don’t match the narrative of the current party/administration in power. That’s a both sides kind of “thing.” 
 

I should also mention his roommate is a hero who helped LE as well. And this is not being said.
 

I’m still kinda fascinated with the furry thing. Also his roomie appears to either be a furry or a mascot. People were saying that the assassin dropped out of school after only one semester. I don’t know if that’s true but it tracks with these shooters. They don’t want to work in the real world or can’t bc of whatever reason. Just to hang out online and collect grievances and get angrier and angrier. This kid had a fairly decent sized friend group he was regularly in contact with. But what’s he been up to since high school? No idea but a lot of these young male shooters are similar in that regard. Not much since high school. No real effort to integrate into life. 

Picture of furry/mascot roommate. That culture of furries fascinates me.

Tagging Mr. Robinson’s username on Discord, a messaging platform, the acquaintance attached the images and wrote “wya” — where you at? — with a skull emoji, suggesting that Mr. Robinson, 22, looked like the man being sought.

Mr. Robinson replied within a minute. His “doppelganger,” he wrote, was trying to “get me in trouble.”

“Tyler killed Charlie!!!!” another user wrote, apparently in jest.

That was on Thursday afternoon, around 1 p.m. local time. It was not until later that night, nearly 34 hours after the shooting, that Mr. Robinson was arrested on suspicion of carrying out the assassination of Mr. Kirk, 31, a conservative pundit whose killing has inflamed the political world.

After Mr. Robinson joked that the gunman was his look-alike, another user suggested that the group could turn Mr. Robinson in and get the $100,000 reward that the F.B.I. was offering.

“Only if I get a cut,” Mr. Robinson responded.

Someone posted, “Whatever you do, don’t go to a mcdonalds anytime soon,” a reference to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, who was found at a McDonald’s restaurant and charged with the killing of a health insurance chief executive in Manhattan.

Mr. Robinson agreed and offered a supposed joke of his own, writing “better also get rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have lying around.”

When another user suggested that the killing of Mr. Kirk would lead President Trump to send the National Guard to Utah, the suspect replied, “in a red state??? nah CLEARLY the shooter was from california.”

Around that time, several news outlets reported that ammunition found near a rifle at the scene included engravings referencing “transgender ideology.” The truth, ultimately, was that the engravings included the phrase “hey fascist! CATCH!” as well as lyrics from an antifascist Italian folk song and a reference to a sexual meme about a “bulge.”

But at the time, before the exact phrasing of the engravings was publicly known, the suspect sent messages that suggested he was closely following the news.

“I heard the ammo had somethin about trans stuff on it, but they aren’t releasing photos or exact quotes,” he wrote. He added: “and also the claim wasn’t backed by the official fbi, just some dude in the briefing room.”

A few minutes later, he joked: “I’m actually Charlie Kirk, wanted to get outta politics so I faked my death, now I can live out my dream life in kansas.”

Mr. Robinson’s messages on Discord appeared next to his avatar, which was from a Garfield comic and depicted the confused face of Garfield’s owner, Jon Arbuckle.

Following the suspect’s arrest on Thursday night, members of the group chat on Discord struggled to believe that he was actually being accused of the crime. “Our governor wants to give him the death penalty dude,” one wrote.

Another said: “I truly cannot distinguish if this is for real.”

This I think is what I’m profoundly interested in. The shooters no matter their home life are almost the exact same person, despite politics or religion or whatever else. They are the same person over and over again. And how do we stop that shit. The thing is too many soft targets for those fucks to go after on both sides of the aisle and I want to know how they become so angry that they do this shit. And if there is some kind of tipping point where we can intervene before it leads to someone else being callously murdered. Or I’m just an idealist here.

Yeah that kid has zero empathy nor sympathy. Sociopath is correct. I just wonder if they are all sociopaths bc the evidence seems to be somewhat overwhelming that they are. He’s a hate filled asshole. But like was he born without empathy or sympathy? Or did he just gradually become that way? Was the kid smiling (kinda) in that nicely furnished dorm room already feeling homicidal? Or is it that he could never assimilate? Once high school was over just wanted to sleep late and be online 24/7. He was absolutely giddy thinking he got away with this and also checking to see what people thought. Must have been a real surreal moment for him when his father confronted his ass. And saw behind the mask of who his son was pretending to be?

The guardian piece was no different than abc news being told the Korean pilot was named wi too low and airing that.  It reeked from the beginning.
