    This is just a lone wolf. Hell, there isn’t even remotely a pattern of violence aimed at Confederate pundits. There is not even stochastic terrorism aimed at Confederates.

    Who the fuck do these sister-fuckers even want vengeance on? We don’t even know who the shooter is yet and there are no prominent figures on the left who are doing the stochastic terrorism thing (unlike much of the right).

    For all we know, it’s Charlie’s jilted gay lover that shot him.

      All the previous shooters have been disillusioned republicans. The guy they arrested is older and white so… We will see in the morning

          Time to do some police work. Let’s see, who had motivation? Oh, like half the country? Jeez. Well what about opportunity? Oh, he was at a college, outdoors, surrounded by thousands of people, engaging in provoking “debate”, and there was no real security set up? Yikes. And no credible witness accounts? Fuck. Well, send somebody over to the Altoona McDonald’s and see if we can pin it on some Italian guy.

      Bring it. Most of these chuckle fucks aren’t trained in gun safety while 2nd amendment Liberals are.

    So, if the shooter turns out to be some Nazi shitbag, these right wingers are going to war with them right? Of course not, because they don’t actually care about what happened to Kirk, and have no problem with violence happening (as evidenced by all the goddamn violence they are always doing). They just want to take advantage of an opportunity to do more violence against what they perceive as the other team. They’re sociopaths with no moral framework other than self-enrichment, self-aggrandizement, and ends justifying means.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if GOP killed their own political pawns to at least delay the Epstein files debacle and their own pedophile in chief being implicated in them.

      Probably wanting to delay it for as long as possible until the dude croaks during a live interview.

    They’ve been getting more and more violent for 9 years, so I really don’t see how this is a change. They literally tried to overthrow the government.

    Kirk wasn’t even a politician, he was a talking head. And not even an A-lister like Shapiro or Jones. These guys are looking for an excuse to become violent and it didn’t take much.

    To be fair they respond to most things the left does with calls for violence. They want to commit violence over trans existence.

      They frame a trans person, they are already setting the stage with wsj saying there’s “trans inscriptions” on the ammo of a bilt action they found in the woods

      It doesn’t matter, they’re pushing this narrative in bad faith as an excuse to use violence against the people who they were planning to abuse anyway.

      It’s just my own conspiracy, with no evidence to back it up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Kirk death was ordered by his own party.

      Then they will forget it ever happened and just lionize Kirk and every hate filled ideal he stood for.

      *if it was a Repub. If it was a foreign shooter than…whomever this persons nationality is, if you share even a passing resemblance to the same I suggest you get out fast

    Oh! Oh! You mean just like when Trump tweeted a picture of Chicago exploding and said “Chicago is about to learn why it is called the Department of War”?
