Alleged shooter

He confessed. Does that make him alleged still?

Yes. People sometimes confess to crimes they didn’t commit to get fame. first your alleged, then you’re indicted, then you’re convicted, or not.

“I hope he was going to be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty,” Trump said Friday.

Cue federal public defender wondering how to request a venue change to Canada.

Look how fast they pivoted from trans to autistic. These RWNJs are something else.

Could his defense use autism as a mitigating factor against the death penalty?

Is he in fact on the spectrum?

You mean people can't blame the shooter for being black/brown/Muslim/trans, you want to equate good grades/test scores as being grounds to diagnose autism?

No, but there sure is an ongoing pattern with shooters. That doesn't mean autistic males are by definition liable to be shooters, it does mean that a large propensity of male shooters are on the spectrum.

Why do you assume autism here?

I mean that's a classic response. Shooter was a minority, blame radicalization. Shooter was white? Talk about mental illness.

I doubt he has autism, that’s just Evan Kilgore’s nonsense on the quoted tweet (“autistically smart”). For the record, I have no idea who Evan Kilgore is but he apparently has an interest in convincing his followers that people who do very well in school have autism.

It’s crazy that some guy tweets that the shooter was ”autistically smart” (do we even know for sure if the post he retweeted was actually from the mother of the shooter, just because this guy says it was?), and now some DCUM posters actually believe that the shooter has autism, like it’s a fact. Seriously disturbing.

I am 50-year-old mom and I get that, if you don't ever look at social media you may not have heard of him, but if you have teens you absolutely should have.

Charlie Kirk was uber famous. There are memes about the memes about him.

I am looking forward to when the 48-hours expire and we can discuss some of his views here. I wholeheartedly respect DCUM's rules and I condemn in the strongest possible terms what happened to Charlie Kirk. No one asks or deserves to me murdered. Political violence is horrible for all of us. But Charlie Kirk was a very famous public figure and there is no contradiction between denouncing the assassination and critiquing his views.

I’ve never heard of him nor have my tweens. We aren’t big into SM though. Is Kirk kinda like Mr. Beast? I have heard of Mr. Beast? Is that his name? He had his own brand of lunchables.

If you had an 18 year old boy he would have heard of him. My college freshman said the killing was all his team talked about at practice yesterday. The team is a mix of conservative and liberal kids and opinions on Kirk ranged from adoration to disgust. He said they had a respectful discussion, which gave me great hope.

I'm struggling with adoration of hate and why people who were the targets of Kirk's hate need to be respectful.

What people or individuals were targeted of “Kirk’s hate”? When did he said he hated person XYZ or a group of people abc?

Or did he said he hates crime? Or murderers? Or hates the lack of morals out there?

What did he say he hated exactly? A thing? A concept? A proper noun person? A group of benign people? A country?

He said he wouldn’t feel comfortable with a Black pilot, no? Kind of hate adjacent.

Let’s put this in context….
Kirk’s comments were part of a broader critique of DEI. He was pointing out that when the emphasis on hiring is all about skin color and gender, then merit takes a back seat. Example: United Airlines goal to have 40% of its pilots be women or people of color which would relax the standards of hiring.
This is certainly a legitimate point about the potential effect of diversity initiatives on hiring standards.
When the focus is on skin color and gender, how can the public be certain that qualifications for pilots have not been compromised?

Here’s the problem with weak minded people listening to Kirk.

UA was not hiring 40% off the street unqualified stupid POCs.

They were targeting POCs who were military pilots, national merit scholars holders, Rhodes scholars and recruited them to be pilots for them instead of Wall Street grabbing them or defense contractors.

I think being raised Mormon is more likely make somebody a little off center rather than autism. It's a crazy religion. I am low-key obsessed with it.

Would it be fair to say you’re pulling that out of your ass or do you have some evidence to back that up?

So all those posts about some trans person named Skye were right wing lies?

Yes, specifically from 4Chan.
