This is just a lone wolf. Hell, there isn't even remotely a pattern of violence aimed at Confederate pundits. There is not even stochastic terrorism aimed at Confederates.
Who the fuck do these sister-fuckers even want vengeance on? We don't even know who the shooter is yet and there are no prominent figures on the left who are doing the stochastic terrorism thing (unlike much of the right).
For all we know, it's Charlie's jilted gay lover that shot him.
But apparently the truckloads of dead children are totally fine
That's what Republicans love, whether it's dead children or raped children, it's their favorite!
So, if the shooter turns out to be some Nazi shitbag, these right wingers are going to war with them right? Of course not, because they don’t actually care about what happened to Kirk, and have no problem with violence happening (as evidenced by all the goddamn violence they are always doing). They just want to take advantage of an opportunity to do more violence against what they perceive as the other team. They’re sociopaths with no moral framework other than self-enrichment, self-aggrandizement, and ends justifying means.
Best case scenario for planet Earth is if they find definitive proof that Kirk's assassination was jointly ordered by Putin and Netanyahu.
It wasn't war when one Dem politician was killed, one was attempted. And a gubernatorial assassination was attempted?
Just the pedos creating a distraction from the Epstein files. GOP voted down their release yesterday.
All they want is an excuse to do exactly what they've always wanted to do.
They’ve been getting more and more violent for 9 years, so I really don’t see how this is a change. They literally tried to overthrow the government.
To be fair they respond to most things the left does with calls for violence. They want to commit violence over trans existence.
Oh! Oh! You mean just like when Trump tweeted a picture of Chicago exploding and said "Chicago is about to learn why it is called the Department of War"?
Kirk wasn't even a politician, he was a talking head. And not even an A-lister like Shapiro or Jones. These guys are looking for an excuse to become violent and it didn't take much.
...these fucking people.
Just shut up and go away already. Just move to Russia since you like the taste of dictator balls so much.
Of course, that's all they got. What, are they going to demand bipartisan cooperation and a commitment to end gun violence? Get real. They threaten violence every time the sun rises. It's a good idea to remind them that murdering who they perceive as the American Left won't be as easy as the Nazis crushing the Jews. There will be strong resistance, and it is already starting.
This the same far-right that couldn't wear a face mask when 1,226,351 of us were dying of Covid? I am terrified, I tell you, terrified.
WAR WAS HERE WHEN REPUBLICANS WERE PUTTING PEOPLE IN CAGES, SETTING BARBWIRE IN THE RIVERS, BURNING PROGRESSIVE BALLOT BOXES, FREEZING MEDICAID FUNDING.
Like the little bitches weren't already out there bombing and shooting. But one professional troll cops irony and they're losing their shit
On the other hand, a difficult long distance sniper shot has the marks of a professional hit, plus he got away. Sounds a lot like an ordered hit on a not too valuable target for a political purpose. Maybe a distraction from the Epstein files? Is it too much to ask to wait until we know a lot more before killing innocent people?
He just happens to get shot on the same day the Republicans voted to not release the Epstein files 🤔
Like they haven’t already been doing?
They have no idea who the shooter was. They literally don't care. They are ready to just immediately blame the left, even if none of us had literally anything to do with it. Bunch of bloodthirsty psychopaths.
Heh remember when a black guy got elected president and certain people literally burned effigies of him?
Remember when the one guy who was whiter than Trump wouldn’t go along with their coup and he had to dodge his own secret service agents in order to survive?
Did they forget all the right wing terrorism they’ve already been doing like attempting to kill Pelosi and nearly killing her husband among other things
They call for violence every time a non-white/cis/straight person breathes. This isn't news.
So... The thing that they were already doing?
OK.
At this point, I would be shocked if the far-right responded with anything but calls for violence.
I don't get it, if he's such a good guy, why are they sad that he's in heaven with Jeebus? Don't they believe that's where the good people go?
WTF is this??? It's like Wired built a manifesto for right wing nut jobs instead of reporting a balanced story. What the actual fuck?!
Between this and WSJ claiming there's antitrans inscriptions on the ammo, this is almost certainly a false flag, meant to incite just such a war on LGBTQ+.
Imagine wanting to kill/die for this creep.
Fash are effing losers.
There are more of us than you.
Despite common belief (at least in my area) we have more guns than you.
