Which makes me wonder why anyone would even want to try to kill him.

I saw a non-sentimental recap of his life yesterday and clips from him around 2015 were textbook "free market and small government" spiel. I think all the other stuff (isms) was there all along with Republicans, they just didn't say it out loud before Trump.

He became radicalized because he thought a black woman unfairly got "his spot" at West Point . Fucking loser.

It's possible to be a shill AND a true believer as a Republican.

Looks like they have the suspect in custody. You'll probably see a mugshot around dinner time and get clued in to his ideology.

If things go well this weekend, I will read few op-eds about "recent events in America."

Have a swell one.

You just described modern conservatism.

Damn, the shooter kinda looks and dresses like me. Except I got fatter.

The only news I can find about the suspect being in custody is a few things saying Trump says they have him.

It's either a big lie, or it's a false flag.

Netanyahu was asked if Israel had him killed. I'm thinking Ghislane Maxwell.

"Suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting is a 22-year-old from Utah, law enforcement says."

This is about as mysterious as a box of Pop Tarts.

Yep. Looks like a pretty normal event that you’d get in the US. Pissed off loner, probably a hunter from childhood with a good understanding of firearms. Finally snapped and decided to shoot someone.

Thankfully not a school.

There goes the excitement.

I watched a couple minutes. Pretty funny.

The people and their country he is complementing about how clean and civil they are and their city is live in a society with nationalized healthcare, a better social safety next than the US, and nationalized education program.
