We dont yet know if the assassin is from the left
It won't matter as they will accuse the left regardless.
"Will"!? Our mad orange king, as well as the other MAGA freaks are already blaming everyone left of "the poors should be hunted for sport" for this. Right now. Regardless of the killer's beliefs, it so obviously wasn't a coordinated campaign approved of by every non-conservative...
Joe Biden did it on his bicycle.
360° no scope headshot. Biden invented that move in WW1.
Counterstrike 1.6 !!!
It was a tandem with...OBAMA IN THE BACK
Thanks Obama!
I hope it was a vegan bicycle.
Yeah, this is as dumb as Trump calling it political violence.
Could be any number of people he fucked over or stiffed. These types if people (sociopaths) don't care about anyone but themselves.
It’s obviously political violence though, whether the shooter is from the left or not. But sure it might be an elaborate mafia hit or his wife’s ex-boyfriend acting out some revenge fantasy – seems awfully unlikely though.
Could be Kirk's ex-boyfriend for all we know.
Looking at the rate they get caught fucking other men, most homophobes seem to be self-hating bisexuals.
oh so NOW the Bis exist when you need someone to throw under the bus for a shooting.
Yeah, no. Kirk was straight. I can tell. Some are bisexuals, especially the ones that think being gay is a choice. There was nothing remotely gay about the man in any way. He believed everything he said. And it was probably a desnat or something.
I have wondered from time to time where the militant left is.
Lol, it's gonna be a disgruntled former magat
Theyve emboldened their followers to use violence to hurt those that “fail them” some are starting to take notice and some of those are unstable enough to use violence. Live by the gun die by the gun
Bitching, on the internet.
I think the preferred term is slacktivism. Reading theory and posting copypastas online lol
"I'm ready bro, just waiting for the signal bro"
Gripping the rifle with thighhighs makes girlcocks look cuter. So uh, we were distracted. Tyrannywhat?
What if... there is a civil war, but it's old-school conservatives vs MAGA?
Right? Most of the left don't even know who this dude is. It could be a business partner for all we know.
Interesting point made in live updating CNN Manhunt article:
So, dude takes his position, fires a single shot for the kill, and then disappears without a trace. Pretty impressive.
Could be a paid for dude, which seems most likely judging by the description. Not many snipers in the general populace, I'm guessing. Ex-military maybe?
I've dropped deer that far out and I am no sniper. I'd wager that most hunters could make that shot.
I've seen this one before on Red Dwarf. He shot himself.
Do they know how far away they were? What rooftop they were on? I'm hoping they get away with it, but I'm not sure it would even have to be monetarily motivated. Maybe one of their friends or family members were killed as a result of his bullshit? There's plenty of reasons to kill a shitstain like Kirk. Plenty of people, especially on this website, would've done the same if they had the ability.
CBS news at dinnertime didn't have details on where but from witness accounts it was at least 100yds, 'cause people said the shot wasn't that loud. That shit stays loud for 100ft easy. I'm sure law enforcement knows what rifle fired the round by now and it wouldn't surprise me if they are shitting their pants because it's some weird fucker like 6.5 creedmoor
edit: I guess if someone pulled an Oswald and was inside the Book Depository that would muffle the sound heard by people near the victim. However, Utah is pretty fucking big without many tall buildings.
Could've also had a suppressor. They don't eliminate all the sound like the movies, but make a huge difference with rifles.
I'm bored. What do you think happened?
I think long-range hunting rifle with a scope. .270 maybe?
I have no clue other than the witness reports. And the one close up video. But seeing that shockwave hit his shirt, tells me it was something very very fast.
I don't want to watch it again, but it did seem real real fast huh? Lots of energy in the shot, not like an infantry weapon. Way more hunting rifle than AR .223.
It was just instant.
e: a fuckit, sleep
edit again the next morning: The cops think they have the weapon and the news called it "a high powered rifle" so yeah, probably just an AR
ope: it was a rifle rifle. They are reporting Mauser in .30 caliber so... M98 in .308? Something like that anyway. Mauser also makes a very nice line of modern hunting rifles and you can get those in 30-06
That's true.
People on Lemmy are more likely to know but yes, I tried explaining to my dad how much of a shitstain this guy was. His take away from TV News was that this guy was somehow not MAGA and therefore it's sad. Like, no, he very much is MAGA, lol
The ABC national evening show was gargling his balls like he was going to come back and kiss them afterward. It was sickening.
He's one of the most meme'd on conservatives of the last decade in leftist spaces. Who doesn't know his forehead?
And his gums.
Don't know who Charlie Kirk is? He runs so many ads on youtube with tpusa, that I'm surprised that there's people that don't know he exists atp.
I use ublock to watch youtube.
Me too, and in the last day or so, ads have started playing now and again. Usually only one ad, with a skip button that appears after a bit. I wonder if something has changed?
Restart your computer and browser, that usually works for me.
That worked, thanks.
Fair enough. A lot of people don't.
A lot of people don't know what adblock is.
Plus the guy's been memed to oblivion. I have a lot of Tinyface Charlie memes in my phone.
I may have seen the tiny face meme but never heard the name. But I also don't frequent political areas.
