Charlie Kirk shot dead at Utah university

[meltonblue]

Why? I mean why? He's nailed on to get the death penalty if somebody doesn't top him first. He'd have been better off over indulging in whatever gets his rocks off and then topping himself once they found him.
Once he squeezed that trigger his own life was effectively over.

That was my first thought too!

I've got to admit I had no idea who this guy was. Yesterday BBC's news website had dozens of separate articles and todays' Daily Mail over 20.
Not sure why this particular incident in the US warrants that level of coverage with the UK media.

An assassination of a high profile American conservative is pretty big news isn’t it?

Yep and his families, he made a choice and will deserve everything he gets. As always with the USA he isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.

I honestly don't believe a second of any of this narrative they're pushing.

Personally I don't believe a word governments or the media tell us anymore. It's all smoke and mirrors. As more people distrust them the quicker they are pushing for even more controls to shut down free speech.

Whoever decides to go down these paths in life has to be mentally unstable. They end their own lives in the process.

This is the part where we might agree to disagree, but instead, I’ll just bluntly state the facts: you continue to claim facts not in evidence, and you literally cannot read and comprehend English.

I comprehend the fact you've got your blinkers on due to your very partisan political views.

Well he wasn't wrong about George Floyd at least..

He was a scumbag that had been to jail multiple times and held a gun at a pregnant ladies stomach while they robbed her house.

If you think the world is a better place without Kirk's views, that's fair enough, but then let's also agree the world is better without the likes of Floyd roaming the streets. He was a piece of shite.

Neither deserved to die the way they did though.

He does indeed seem to have been a scumbag but the bit about her being pregnant doesn't appear to stand up to scrutiny.

Name now released and correct age.

The suspect arrested and accused of killing Charlie Kirk has been identified as Tyler Robinson, five senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News.

Robinson, 22, is from Utah.

22? That is fucked up. I mean, it’s fucked up at any age, but to plan and execute a killing like this at 22? Jeez.

You don’t know anything about my political views, champ. You assume you do, just like your posts make assumption after assumption. The difference between us here isn’t political. The difference is that you aren’t especially good at crafting arguments, and I’m better at it than you.

For the 3,894th time, you do not know why he was killed.

I believe you’re going to leave this thread after SWP’s post, or have a bit of a personal moral crisis if you say “So what?” to it, but I will reiterate — again for the 3,894th time — there is a difference among HAVING beliefs, SPEAKING your beliefs, and HOW you speak them.

3,895th?

caught apparently

 

[meltonblue]

Looks like his dad was a sheriff.

22? That is fucked up. I mean, it’s fucked up at any age, but to plan and execute a killing like this at 22? Jeez.

That's if they've got the right person this time, 3rd time lucky.

His mother's Facebook is still up, the photos of him are of a typical all american, rootin tootin boy. Shooting guns, fishing, his family are clearly on the right. He's not some left wing radical, which makes this even weirder to me

 

[johnny crossan]

Tyler Robinson born April 2003 makes him 22.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

3,895th?

People do kill famous people to be famous!

John Lennon
Tupac Shakur
Dimebag Darrell
and others

List is pretty long and the assassin will get his 15 minutes of fame.

It all boils down to if he's on the left or right for the amount of trouble that looms. Fuckin crazy but that's the way it is in the states currently. A fuckin cesspit

He's registered Republican, did not expect that at all.

Edit. The person who stated this has corrected themselves and posted this, he's unaffiliated

Trump has just turned the temperature up. Absolutely laying into the Left and stating the Radicals on the right want peace and to solve crime etc. The left wants violence. There couldn't be a worse fuckin president at this time. He's ramping up for violence.
