1. Team trump

If you zoom in, that red t-shirt he's wearing says Team Trump.

[intrepidity]

2. Isnt that Kirk? nt

[Wuddles440]

6. It is.

[oasis]

3. Just another rightwing whacko.

So many characters like HIM roaming our nation.

[swong19104]

39. When Hillary

mention the vast right wing conspiracy, she meant that it was populated by these sort of foot soldiers. There are millions of them.

[oasis]

47. "The Hunting of the President" a short documentary

with narration by Morgan Freeman gives a eye opening accounting of what Hillary was referring to.

Title borrowed from the book by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons.

[Nigrum Cattus]

4. Play with fire & get burned !

Where is our apology from tsf ?
Where are all the RWRE's saying they were wrong ?
RWRE = right wing religious extremists
radical left ?

[democratsruletheday]

5. LOL.....being a narcissistic, REPUKE

means never having to say you're wrong. Just like Trump who had his tail between his legs this morning on Faux News

[sop]

8. Trump and his henchmen will continue spreading lies, and their MAGA imbeciles will believe them.

Being MAGA means you're impervious to facts and reality.

[H2O Man]

7. Not a surprise.

Recommended, and thank you for this!

[hardluck]

9. So was it digitally altered as the Reader Added Context states?

https://abcnews.go.com/US/tyler-robinson-charlie-kirk-suspect-shooter-utah/story?id=125474359

Looks like these are the same pictures.

[ffr]

10. Media talking heads should be aggressively seeking apologies from the right

This is and always has been caused by RW rhetoric.

[WestofDenver]

11. A possibility occured to me in that if I were an accelerationist,

a person trying to provoke a 'race-wa'r (a la Roof) there might be advantage in choosing to attack a prominently public figure, a person popular among the MAGA crowd (but of course no one critical to my own movement) as a target rather than the random slaughter done by Roof. Roof's revolting action didn't work against people schooled in resistance. If the point is to initiate open warfare within the American population, then perhaps Kirk's attacker just chose to go where the guns are; meaning among his own. This cowardly act has brought Kirk's adherents to fury ... so the temptation for vengeance is understandably high. If they lash out at sufficient scale, if the shooting seriously starts, the accelerationists might be able to claim success.

[ForgedCrank]

12. Ok, let

me try to get this straight:
Someone posted it on twitter, and now we believe MAGA is running around assassinating conservative Trump supporters.
Are we seriously going to fall for this stupid shit again?

[txwhitedove]

13. Read on and other posts cause this news is everywhere.

[Feel Good Inc]

14. There is no evidence he was a Republican or Trump supporter.

His ideology isn't even clear at this point. He could be totally apolitical and just a troll - or something else.

The only thing we know for certain is that he's white, from Utah and raised LDS. He likely was raised by conservative parents and they probably were Republican. But he did not register as one and did not vote in the last presidential election, which would have been his first.

[Skittles]

24. LOL

let's put it this way: HE AIN'T NO FUCKING DEMOCRAT

[Feel Good Inc]

26. Okay? The OP said he was a Republican.

[Torchlight]

35. Sounds really serious

Good luck

[Skittles]

36. *SNORT*

[Feel Good Inc]

37. I think it's serious to be accurate.

And I think you probably do too because everyone here was up in arms over the right saying he was a leftists despite no proof of it.

[dpibel]

29. Remind me of the other times

"we've" fallen for the proposition that MAGA is running around assassinating conservative Trump supporters.

Not remembering previous instances of this stupid shit.

[Polybius]

40. Some fools are already falling for it

[SergeStorms]

15. Kirk made the fatal mistake....

of demanding Trump release all of the Epstein files. Trump decreed that it was all a "hoax," and Kirk had the audacity to disagree with him.
Tyler Robinson assassinated Kirk for not being 100% in line with "dear leader." It's also a warning to other MAGAts. "Thou shalt not question Dear Leader about anything!"
There are many more Tyler Robinsons in the MAGA fold.

[Polybius]

41. And you think a 22 year old cares enough to not want the Epstein files released?

Let's wait this out before we jump to conclusions.

[SergeStorms]

45. I do, yes.

There are different factions within the MAGAverse. Some are mere right-wing nut-jobs, and some are so far right they want to do the mere right-wing nut-jobs bodily harm. If you can't come to terms with that there's nothing more to discuss.

[Polybius]

49. There are, I agree with you on that

I just don't think he's one of them, at this point at least.

[underpants]

51. This was tribal warfare. He's a Groyper - follower of Nick Fuentes

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20634209

Groypers call anyone who doesn’t agree with them “Nazis” and claim to be “Antifa”. See, it’s ironic projection and groupthink at the same time.

Fuentes from time to time lashes out at Trump to get attention and test Groypers loyalty to him.

Fuentes and Kirk hated each other. Kirk basically humiliated him by taking away a lot of followers. Tucker Carlson initiated a reintroduction of Fuentes this summer. Kirk also backs Israel which is Nazi to the Groypers. This was a violent act between two camps of the same tribe.

Kirk did call for the Epstein files to be released but that seems to be more about keeping his flock close due to their already being over the edge on what they were already sure was in them. Kirk had taken to going spiritual in an attempt to both cleanse his record 🙄 and probably prepare for a run at office. MAGA X is absolutely certain now that he’d have someday been President. Seriously.

Tyler sadly, look no one should be murdered, had an opportunity and took it. There was remarkably little police presence. Talk radio says 6 cops total for this event specifically. Kirk would’ve had to personally pay for more. There are 47,000 students at UVU.

[rictofen]

16. Also not a Russian hitman who got on a plane that disappeared from radar

Phew!

[Farmer-Rick]

17. Those Mormons are really into killing

From the Mountain Meadows Massacre to the Daybell murders of their children because god to Ervil Morrell LeBaron. They murder people as much as other religions. I guess thinking there is a god has nothing to do with being moral.

[Fiddlelady11]

22. Scary

Religion.

[Cherrycheeks]

18. Is that called..

White on white crime?

[onenote]

19. What is the source of the assertion that he's a Republican?

[rollin74]

20. I thought his voter registration showed no affiliation with a party

Was he really a registered Republican? I haven’t seen that reported anywhere.

[Fiddlelady11]

21. The Mormons

Are in the middle of a Millennium scare. They think the world is ending and Jesus is coming back. It’s so sad what the Mormon Church and Mormon parents have done to their children. I am sure Mormon stories podcast will do several hours on this topic. That church is dangerous and radical and has always been that way. We really need to tax churches. It’s all a scam.

[Skittles]

23. since that's the profile of SO many shooters

maybe THEY are the ones who should be "stopped and frisked"

[Lookingforthetruth]

Suspect's high school friend says Robinson was the only 'leftist' in a family of 'very hard' Republicans
Anna Betts
In a phone interview on Friday, one of Tyler Robinson's high school friends, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was "pretty left on everything" and was "the only member of his family that was really leftist".
"The rest of his family was very hard
Republican," the friend said.
Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would "always just be ranting and arguing about them".

https://t.co/h3UoNZcmJG

[travelingthrulife]

28. His friend is lying. Sad.

[Polybius]

42. From the artice:

A high-powered Mauser rifle found near the scene of the suspect’s initial escape route contained an unfired bullet that Cox said was marked with the message, “hey, fascist, catch!”.

Maybe his friend wasn't lying. Let's all wait it out. I'm sick of jumping to conclusions every time.

[edbermac]

33. 🚨 I think we got a live one here. 🚨

Though I have to admire their discipline in making only two posts in 21 years

[ms liberty]

38. There have been a number of "new" old members posting lately

I've noticed. I don't have a high post count for my length of membership, but I'm doing better than that, lol.

[edbermac]

31. Really, Mr two-posts-in-twenty-one-years?

That anonymous high school friend didn’t happen to be you, did it?

[dpibel]

32. Interesting edit

From the linked article:

In a phone interview on Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school,who asked to remain anonymous, told the Guardian that Robinson was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist”.

Why would someone rewrite a quote to leave out the bet-hedging part?

[Polybius]

43. I'm curious what his first post was now n/t

[demmiblue]

48. Editor's note: this article was updated....

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

44. Ha!!!

Are they eating CROW??????
They are so hot to point the finger at somebody else, and it was their own. These are damaged sick people or should I call them a cult!

[B.See]

46. One of their very OWN... again. I'm SHOCKED.

50. We reap what is sown.
