The right never needs a reason to escalate. They will just make stuff up.

Where were you for kitty litter in schools, genital mutilation of minors, fentanyl border crisis, pornography in school libraries, "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs," etc.?

Again notice how the targets of his crude insulting bigotry fall from the equation to elevate “people who disagreed with him.”

The ole Harper’s letter free speech brigade has really fallen down on the job eh?

I’m laughing it’s actually easy, you just (1) tell the media to be patient as you’re chasing down all possible leads (2) can’t comment on the details of an ongoing investigation (3) wait for someone to snitch. That’s it, that’s the job.

It was also SUCH an shameful and lazy line coming from supposed "extremism experts" because if you knew ANYTHING about contemporary Nazis, you'd know that Telegram was an easily accessible and easily monitored cornucopia of Nazis openly, gleefully telling on themselves every day

I flash back sometimes to how often folks would criticize us for trying to deplatform Nazis there.

"Oh but if you kick them off Twitter we won't be able to see what they're doing and counter them"

Mhm, well. Guess what happens when you let them rub wild

The white pundit fans of the man have no real friends of color. That's also something you can tell.

One thing Charlie Kirk's assassination has revealed is the extent to which the elite liberal media class has abandoned reality for a post-truth politics previously embraced by the right.

This is the corrosive effect of the savvy approach where any actual goals, consequences, and politics are all washed away as an act.

None of the publicly available details suggest any particular skill or lack thereof, other than basic competence with firearms. I know it's super tempting to draw conclusions, but there's not really enough to get there.

Around 50% of murders in the United States remain unsolved.

Just for a little bit of contrast, the clearance rate in Germany is 90%.

They were almost certainly aiming center mass and shot high. Nobody aims at the neck.

A stationary target with a high powered rifle and decent scope and this is anyone who spends a couple hours at the range once a month.

Any shooter who initially gets away is widely assessed to be a professional hitman because people generally wildly overestimate the abilities of law enforcement investigation

Three HBCUs have had to lock down their campuses today.

What about THIS political violence?

Where's the condemnation from the right and from the media?

It's not coming. American society is built on the idea that Black suffering is normal.

Violence for me, not for thee. White nationalism and safe spaces for me, not for thee. Cruelty and terror for thee, civility for me.

Wow it took less than an hour for conservatives to start calling ME with death threats lol

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Forcing ppl to be perpetually in an inflammatory state is not living.

"abolish cars" says someone who has never had to haul feed or hay or crops or livestock or large amounts of water

I'm never going to recover from their pickle lemonade only being a limited time item.

This has been going on for so long. They locked this man out of doing his job & he barely even got to do that. Now its happened again & folks are still big mad

Friends always ask me wtf is going on AL & the only response I can ever give is “Whats always been going on if you look under the surface.”

Black queer celebrity has a psychotic episode and rather than anyone help him people just pulled out their phones and filmed it for content.

For days media speculated if it was drugs or some weird promotional stunt. Sick society.
