I think we need to give up the computer and cellphones for children.


Shooter was 22. But maybe we just kill the internet for everyone, I think it has done more harm than good

I'm glad they caught the killer.

I see that he's not a trans activist. He apparently is against fascists. And he's apparently a gamer. OK.

Not a very ultra-left sort of person, in my opinion. Just another mentally ill weirdo obsessed with guns.



I think we can all agree that this person had mental problems, and spent a lot of time on the internet. The only information we have on his motive is what he wrote on the casings, and those were anti-fascist taunts. Sorry, folks, but anti-fascist is not a right wing thing. Maybe there will be more context that will paint a mixed picture but so far, nothing suggests right wing extremism here.


And so why do you suppose that a criminal who wanted to get away and changed clothing wouldn’t also write misleading messages to throw police off his trail? Are you really so naive?

Ok, I am admitting I have no idea what that cartoon is about.


Neither do I.


Me either. Had to ask my teenager. It’s a reference to incels. It has zero political meaning.

LOL! That's a case study in how fast media cycles move. From one sentence to the next.


It's like Charlie has been tossed aside like a piece of garbage now that his death is no longer useful to serve an agenda.

His widow is gonna find out real fast how many real friends she has. The right will be climbing all over themselves to take Charlies spot. Let’s see if Trump follow through with any of his promises. Who knows maybe the wife will learn How it’s all a grift and MAGA will happy to stab you in the back at the first chance


Umm hes being flown on AF2 with the VP and Usha and Kirks wife. On our tax dollars.


Yeah, that was a promise made before we found out who the shooter was. Trump went on FOX this morning said the guy had been arrested and then was like "mmm, not sure I can make the funeral"

WTF, total lack of commitment to the bit!


You are such a liar.

You are talking as if Charlie just turned into a piece of garbage. He has been a piece of garbage his all useless life.


Yeah. Any violent death like that is tragic. Those types of deaths happen every day. Charlie Kirk was a bad person and while the manner and circumstances of his death are tragic, the world is a better place without him.



Kirk was not a nice person given his public statements. However, he did not deserve to be shot like he was. He deserved to become painfully unpopular and a social pariah but not assassinated in front of his wife and kids.


This must be repeated again and again. There is NO justification for this shooting. None. If you didn't like what he said, you had every right to challenge him VERBALLY, online or in person. No one has the right to just shoot another person like that. His character is a completely separate and unrelated discussion.


The irony is that Charlie would have gladly debated with his assassin if given the chance.
Such a huge loss and a senseless murder.


lol. Debated about what? Gun rights?

The only intel is that he inscirbed anti fascist messages on the gun and bullets. He also wore a Halloween costume mocking Trump. He's likely left leaning.



He's a white, Christian, gun-loving Republican raised in a good home. Dad was a minister and LEO. Don't let the bots from China-Russia fool you.


Other than him being white, none of those things have been established.


His Dad worked in the county sheriff's department for 27 years, the assassin donated to Trump's campaign, and was a good shot from two football fields out. So we've definitely established that he's a white, gun-loving Republican raised by a LEO.


To separate out the known facts from your cartoon version: There is no credible source that he donated to Trump's campaign. That is just a rumor floating around the internet based on a "Tyler Robinson" making a donation while this Tyler Robinson was still in high school. We know he used a gun, but we don't know anything else about how he or his family felt about guns. We know he lived in a Republican area, but we don't know anything about his political leanings other than the scribblings. We know his father was a registered Republican who worked in law enforcement, but we don't know if Tyler was aligned with his father. The recounting of the dinner conversation suggested he was rebelling from his upbringing rather than doubling down on it. It's possible that the evidence will eventually support what you are saying but so far it is pointing in the other direction.


You're right about the donation:

But the NYPost has already dug up tons of recent photos of him at gun shows, which was apparently a favorite family pasttime. He definitely wasn't an anti-gun person. The video game stuff suggest apolitical edge lord to me, but the nihilism quickly morphs into extreme right wing.

Radicalized and dead inside. But look at the family he grew up with. It is not normal to glorify guns like that. He needed a stronger fix so he went down the groyper rabbit hole.

They've asked me to go... mumbles something about an obligation. Doesn't say he will. He's going to be golfing that weekend. Maybe Kash Patel will show up... no, wait, he'll be in Vegas at the house he owns with another man. Hmmm... what about Vance? Usha wants to take another family vacation--they'll be in France. Sorry!

He was a groyper. The antifascist stuff on the casings is obvious trolling.

It’s incredible that some posters are still trying to make the antifa fetch happen. He’s a gamer who grew up in a gun nut household. All his “scribbling” are internet/gaming memes.

This. We’ve lost facts. Or at least the desire and ability to determine them.

Since the shooter’s background is becoming clear poor Charlie will rapidly become yesterday’s old news.
