how is it possible that they havent caught the shooter yet?
Totally not Israel, i'm sure Netanyahu has tears rolling down his cheeks.

Jk rise and kill first, celebrations in Tel Aviv...
The problem is you can't trust Israel on anything.
the death of america will be attributed most to the monetizing of social media attention. it incentivized and legitimized saying and doing crazier and crazier shit, and we live in a nation where severely unwell people have the means, motive, and opportunity to eventually act on it violently.
as long as we let people exploit the privilege of free speech, it will get worse, not better.
half measures etc.
go_buccos: You know I don’t agree with most of your politics but this is 100% correct
honestly ive seen you post a lot of political takes i dont agree with but i dont ever recall being like 'this guys wrong and/or dumb and/or mentally ill'.
which is interesting because it puts you in such an incredible minority here.
thats not anything backhanded, its just a compliment.
Call me an old man I guess.
We’ve lost all ability as a society to constructively debate anyone we disagree with, and the access to the instant gratification provided by smartphones and social media is a *huge* reason why IMO.
Easier to just call people names I guess.
You are somewhat correct, but what we are seeing is largely a society that underwent decades of controlled speech and liberal brainwashing by every means possible and all of the policies, institutions, and networks created out of it and to enforce it, reacting to very quickly being unplugged from that matrix because of social media.
No matter how anyone tries to frame the current state of things, the vast majority of the people on the right side of the political spectrum were and are only having a sane reaction to the lunacy of the left. The more the rainbow colored wallpaper is ripped away from the false reality that apparently many, many liberals are living in, the crazier the shit is going to get. Had free speech always truly been allowed things would have never gotten this fucked up, and our country wouldn't be so ripe for exploitation across both sides.
I don't think there's anyway to truly heal from what's going on now without really just seeing this through and ensuring free speech is always truly maintained so that it never happens again.
This is also a solid take.
When we lost the ability to state the obvious during peak COVID lockdown that it came from a lab without suffering consequences for it, the downhill trajectory accelerated.
Hell, even Sonatine said so in the very first post of the COVID thread here.
As was discussed earlier my takes on politics and the people involved are usually pretty measured, but Anthony Fauci is a straight-up evil human and I would literally go to whatever lengths necessary to make sure I was in the front row at his hanging. At this point I don’t see how anyone on either side of the aisle (except maybe Bart) can argue that.
Good to see Security doing their Job...
And good thing there is nothing else tragic remembered in the next 24 hours...
I'm calling it now, everyone's favorite Jew Troll is next in the Deadpool!

charlie Kirk posted this 18h ago then gets shot and killed
they got the shooter. no details yet.
kash patel is tweeting about how they got the shooter and 3 minutes later his team at the presser is telling people they have no one in custody.
just complete and total incompetence.
did we even discuss the baker's dozen of german politicians killed/dead in a week or so before their elections?
The fascists became desperate. They lost power in a big way in 2024. And they see it crumbling even more. They believe influencers like Kirk have to be eliminated. He was drawing massive crowds on college campuses. He swung millions of young people to Trump.
The fascists are literally scared to death that their time in power is literally over for good. Kirk’s shooting is a message to conservative influencers to stay away from college campuses. The fascists know that without the young people their chance of long term survival is not good.
???? The left is the fascists? You really need to buy a dictionary. Its not like calling someone an asshole and can just fit into every situation.
I agreed w/Charlie Kirk on 0 things but didn't want to see him die. Despite what the RW propaganda is feeing you people, everyone on the left is denouncing violence.
Biden, Newsome, Harris, if you guys want to act like some troll speaks for all the left (which is RW propaganda in a nutshell) go ahead, but the left is not celebrating this.
It's funny, Kash Patel's gf or w/e is sueing people who say she's an Israerli honeypot lol.
I searched Kirk Mossad, top result.
I can't get this guys take out of my head.

I actually thought of this quickly after hearing of Kirk being shot.
"If I were Ben Shapiro, I'd be really worried right now, because I could totally see this happening to him, too."
Shapiro might be safer, though, because he is a mainstream conservative, and rarely pushes extremely provocative positions. I think most of the left regards him as an annoying nerd, rather than someone they believe is a major threat.
The "Mossad killed Charlie Kirk" narrative is stupid, for many reasons.
Kirk was one of the few alt-right influencers who refused to jump on the anti-Israel train.
If Mossad wanted to send a message, they'd have killed Nick Fuentes or Candace Owens. Kirk wouldn't have been the target.
I do think it's possible, though not likely, that Kirk was killed a a right wing fanatic who was mad at him for not joining the anti-Israel mob.
It was most likely a lone wolf, white male leftist.
That "Omar" guy on Twitter is an interesting angle. Shortly after the shooting, he changed his account's name (so the current person on that account is someone different, as it since got grabbed). Could have been a coincidence, but the guy warning that something big would happen during Kirk's visit definitely warrants a hard look at him. However, I have my doubts. After committing such an act, would he really quickly login to X and change his account name? Why not do that before the shooting? Why post it at all, if it's not a suicide mission (which apparently it wasn't)?
The shooting occurred when Kirk was discussing the phenomenon of trans being involved in mass shootings. He was debating with an audience member during Q&A. The person debating Charlie asked, "Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the past 10 years?", and Kirk responded, "Too many." The person then asked, "Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?" Kirk responded, "Counting or not counting gang violence?", and right at that point he was shot dead.
It seems to me that this timing wasn't coincidental -- that someone waiting for Kirk to discuss gun violence before shooting him right at that moment.

That was the exchange.
1dollarboxcar already posted it, but it didn't embed, and it still won't embed here, but you can click on it.
Libs getting mega triggered right now over this:

Boz, please stop clogging the thread with trolling of sonatine.
If you wish to bring up issues with sonatine, start a separate thread and do it.
I deleted most of these posts because they were low quality and just saying the same thing over and over.

At first I imagined it would be a Congressional baseball shooter type, but then I later changed my mind because it occurred on a college campus.
Probably not long now until we find out if this is a deranged lib or a deranged right-wing Israel-hater. I'm guessing it was one of the two.
So I have a paid subscription to what's generally a sports journalism site, but branches off into popular culture and politics. I pay the lowest price, read-only, but another x amount a year for commenting privilege.
The comments on politics blogs blow my mind.
People wishing for a Sirhan Sirhan Jr, every possible way wishing for Trump to die. Cheering on Luigi.
Strange times.
I still identify as a Bill Maher type liberal. I dont remember me and my other 20-somethings in 2004 hoping Bush got shot. That was what crazy regressionists did.
Who knows....
i found it strange too that Kirk was shot while answering a question about mass shootings too... it is almost like the guy asking the question knew it was coming... ( the deadly shot and was almost taunting him... like take this mother fucker )... if i was FBI... i would want to talk to that person asking that question...
This comes as a result of over a decade of, "It's okay to riot and commit acts of violence if you are doing it in the name of social justice."
Recall the 1992 LA riots. They were clearly condemned by figures on all sides. Only the most left of leftist wackos were cheering on the riots and the rioters.
The riots from 2014 to present have been different. They've been more compared to "revolution" by Dems and the media, and excused as just passionate people trying to make change happen. I even read ridiculous views from otherwise intelligent people saying that it's okay to destroy small businesses during a riot because "they have insurance".
If you normalize destruction and violence when someone believes a cause to be "important", then this is what happens.
You simply cannot have a civilized society if there is no respect for rule of law, and where people are lauded for major crimes if the cause they're championing is seen as valid.
