We dont yet know if the assassin is from the left

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 82 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It won't matter as they will accuse the left regardless.

Joe Biden did it on his bicycle.

It was a tandem with...OBAMA IN THE BACK

Thanks Obama!

360° no scope headshot. Biden invented that move in WW1.

I have wondered from time to time where the militant left is.

Theyve emboldened their followers to use violence to hurt those that “fail them” some are starting to take notice and some of those are unstable enough to use violence. Live by the gun die by the gun

What if... there is a civil war, but it's old-school conservatives vs MAGA?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Right? Most of the left don't even know who this dude is. It could be a business partner for all we know.

Interesting point made in live updating CNN Manhunt article:

Here’s why authorities may be having a hard time finding Kirk’s killer, according to a chief CNN analyst From CNN’s Tori B. Powell

A manhunt is still underway as law enforcement tries to find the person who fired the shot that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk today.

According to CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller, the shooter’s planning, skill and execution may be complicating the search.

He told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that snipers have been studied closely by the government and they typically are people who are “methodical and patient, self-reliant.”

“This is the kind of person who would have planned to get in silently, try to be invisible, take this shot, accomplish the mission, take the gun with them and leave little evidence behind which is why I think they’re having a very difficult time getting started on this.”

Officials said earlier today that they believe the shooter fired one shot at one person and that it was a targeted incident.

The single fired shot shows that “the person is not new to shooting,” Miller said, which ultimately could help officials get to the bottom of the investigation.

“This is someone who knew exactly what they were doing and is probably known to others, and this may be working to the advantage of law enforcement,” Miller said. “As someone who has a long history in shooting, this wasn’t an amateur.”

So, dude takes his position, fires a single shot for the kill, and then disappears without a trace. Pretty impressive.

He's one of the most meme'd on conservatives of the last decade in leftist spaces. Who doesn't know his forehead?

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

And his gums.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People on Lemmy are more likely to know but yes, I tried explaining to my dad how much of a shitstain this guy was. His take away from TV News was that this guy was somehow not MAGA and therefore it's sad. Like, no, he very much is MAGA, lol

[–] HaveMeOnYourPodcast@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

The ABC national evening show was gargling his balls like he was going to come back and kiss them afterward. It was sickening.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Don't know who Charlie Kirk is? He runs so many ads on youtube with tpusa, that I'm surprised that there's people that don't know he exists atp.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I use ublock to watch youtube.

I'm willing to bet it's a right-winger. Some deranged psycho that bought into the right-wing conspiracy hate sphere they always use and has an axe to grind with Charlie's flip on releasing the Epstein files.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Hoping it’s feral ass MAGA realizing they have been fooled and starting to turn

It's pretty much what happened with trump's near success.

This sucks for Kirk's family. They should release the Epstein files.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

those kids will totally get bullied by other kids showing them the video of their dad dying. that's all I really feel bad about today.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea. About the only thing sad about this.

Like, they are still kids, Charlie might have been a bigoted fascist but that's far too complicated for children to fully understand; to them, he was just "Dad".

It is truly unfortunate for them they had the ill fate of being born to such a horrible person, but that horrid person was spreading rhetoric which has resulted in countless other children losing parents themselves. All I can hope is that those kids grow up to understand this.

Is there any confirmation that the shooter was in any way a leftist, or motivated by left wing ideals? From all I know, it was some random guy who could have been a right winger who thinks Trump is centralizing the government which goes against his Ayn Rand ideology; or it could just be a loonie.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

For all we know, it could have been an incompetent hunter two kilometres away.

None, here's what we probably know

It was probably done with a rifle at some point, shooter was on a roof, shooter ran away, that's about what we know at this point.

We don't even know who did it. This meme is stupid. Could've been another MAGA idiot getting mad at something he said.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Worse than stupid, it's dangerous.

The current fascist administration is DESPERATE to find and paint a segment of a population to not only blame this on, but also to round up and punish that segment.

I don't think we should be cowering in fear of the administration and their cronies, but we can't do any good if we're all locked up, deported to Narnia or being burnt at the stake.

Especially bad considering that this is massively likely to be a right-wing veteran if he's ever caught.

My money is on a Trump/CIA plot to distract from the Epstein files.

You can’t convince me this and the trump shooter aren’t right wing gambits.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Will this one finally distract from the Epstein files?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

This is a safer way to look at the Epstein birthday book (PBS link) if you’re interested. Still a PDF. https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2025/09/Request-No.-1.pdf

Trump ordered all flags at half mast until Sunday. If I had a flagpole, I'd be racing to add an extension on to it, even if it looked like shit, to raise it higher.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

It's like flying the flags at half-staff if Joe Rogan took too much ket this weekend.

Didn't they not even find the shooter? It could be like trump's failed assassin

It's someone from the right. It's always someone from the right. Every single time

Popping off solo is an exclusively conservative extremist position

Leftist extremism is group based

i'm more than a bit skeptical that "the left" was responsible for this. I think its highly likely that this was a false flag attack.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

given the location and the years i lived there, knowing nothing else i'd think it's someone who thinks kirk wasn't far right enough
