    Caught because he told someone and they snitched, bummer. Please be mindful that he is still only an alleged killer, and has not yet been put on trial for his charges. Innocent until proven guilty.

    White kid from conservative family shoots conservative personality.

    • conservatives threaten black schools
    • a wave of prominent conservatives talking about WAR WERE DECLARED!!
    • random conservatives walking around on the anniversary of 9/11 making threats against “the Democrats” while looking at innocent people
    • conservative lizards insinuating “the left’s reaction” is somehow a nefarious development a couple months after they made fun of a governor being assassinated, which was preceded by conservatives making fun of the attack on Pelosi.

    These fucks are violent and unhinged.

    Now that he’s been identified as a Christian, I suspect that this will just be a big misunderstanding. A few hail Mary’s, a quick confession, and he’ll be absolved.

      They’ll completely ignore that and focus on the trans and other stuff they “found” engraved on the casings at the scene. This is now “trans people are violent, trans supporters are violent.” And that will be the narrative

        The marks on the casings have been released and there are zero references to anything trans. It was a lie that they will keep drip feeding their followers, but it literally does not exist.

          Tell that to all the innocent law enforcement who looked at that last casing and became gay! How are they supposed to break this news to their wives and children?? Seriously, do they have to actually stop abusing them while they say it, or can they piecemeal it between blows? And what if they’re drunk?? Does that mean they can’t properly acknowledge to their family that they’re gay and become double gay???

      A tragedy really, why couldn’t he be a black drag queen or some trans person, or at the very least gay in like a flashy and obvious way? At some point the good, honest people of America might start questioning who is actually the problem…

          I just happened to be operating a government spy satellite watching your helicopter, as one does, while you were watching the three of them! I can confirm that all four of these people were at the specified place at the specified time doing the specified activities.

    I think it’s interesting to see the news media go back to naming and focusing on shooters. When big school shootings began to happen they talked all about the shooters and what could have led them to do what they did. That accidentally became a great incentive for copycats because many were outcasts wanting similar infamy and their stories to be told.

    Then over the years most news media tried to just focus on the victims and communities impacted. Shootings still happen, but how often do you hear the shooter named on the news? Even for major events like the trump assassination attempts they didn’t really focus a lot on who the shooters were.

    It seems that recent shooters are getting a lot more attention again. All it takes is to assassinate someone and get away just long enough to force them to name your and show your face, messages you left on the scene etc. This runs the risk of starting a whole new copycat trend and I think we’re seeing that starting here

        Yeah, students didn’t here and generally don’t do anything to justifiably put themselves in the crosshairs. Politicians, on the other hand, make enemies like it’s their job. I prefer no violence. I prefer direct to indirect consequences. Usually we can’t get everything we want.

    TBF, if the engravings on the casings are legit, then he’s definitely a leftist.

    • “Hey fascist! Catch!” followed by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols
    • “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao”
    • “If you read this, you are gay LMAO”

    (EDIT 9/12/25 - I am relatively certain that if these bullet casing even exist, then they were planted, because every other piece of evidence about the shooter that exists seems to suggest he was extremely conservative. examples: https://archive.is/e3oVv / https://archive.is/20250912221507/https://www.thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-suspects-grandma-says-family-is-all-maga/ )

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/09/12/charlie-kirk-shooter-tyler-robinson-gun-casings-inscriptions/86111606007/

    Still not sure wtf they were talking about with “trans ideology”…

    All this said, I’m happy to see the left is finally sacking up. I’m actually glad its not just a right-wing nut. Its (supposedly) a socially responsible kid who saw the crap that was happening in his country and found the willpower to do something about it.

    All of this said, I don’t think he actually did it. I’m relatively sure he’s being framed.

      The “trans ideology” was “TRN”, a marking engraved on the casing by the ammo manufacturer, Turan Ammo.

      A Wall Street Journal report, citing an ATF bulletin, had previously said the casings were “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.” The purported transgender symbols were later understood to relate to markings identifying the manufacturer.

          True, but it’s important to note that the misinformation they fell for was from AP, which ALL of the billionaire-owned media quote and consider neutral and professional beyond reproach.

      People of any political leaning should be anti-fascist, to be honest. I think the point is that he was brought up with ‘republican values’ and taught how to use guns as a child.

        Yup. Fascism is such an extreme-right ideology that you’re no longer leaning anywhere, you’re blindly stumbling off the hateful edge of sanity and coherence.

        republican values

        Which is just pure fascism and has been for several years…

      If everything presented is reasonably true yeah this is someone similar to the guy who missed Trump. The right wing primed him for violence and trained him with firearms and probably taught him that guns are how we protect against tyranny. Then he started moving left and suddenly saw that the right is moving us towards tyranny.

      The trump shooter was disillusioned and angry he’d been tricked. I’m curious what this man has to say but it sounds like he may have met some of the people the right is preaching against and decided to kill a hate merchant.

      Just a reminder that the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe in charge of beating the Nazis and other fascists was later the Republican President of the United States, among whose goals was preventing the spread of communism. You don’t need to be leftist to hate fascists.
