Charlie Kirk shot at UVU event

Key Points

  • Turning Point USA TPUSA is a right-wing student organization.
  • Founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, TPUSA has raised millions from conservative donors and has played a significant role in GOP politics and elections.
  • Since the group’s founding, Kirk has moved further to the right and has promoted numerous conspiracy theories about election fraud and Covid-19 and has demonized the transgender community.
  • Kirk also promotes Christian nationalism: the idea that Christians should dominate the government and other areas of life in the US.
  • TPUSA continues to attract racists to the group. Numerous TPUSA representatives have made bigoted remarks about minority groups and the LGBTQ+ community.
  • White nationalists have attended TPUSA events, even though the group says it rejects white supremacist ideology.
  • Kirk has created a vast platform for extremists and far-right conspiracy theorists, who speak and attend his annual AmericaFest and other events sponsored by TPUSA.
 
Imagine if they never find the guy. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this was a hit by a right-winger or even someone related to the Trump administration to give The Rapist an excuse to implement even broader unconstitutional actions.
During the summer 2020 protests, extremists like the Proud Boys and the Boogaloes hijacked many of the protests. They purposely damaged property in attempting to turn the police and public sentiment against BLM. So it actually wouldn’t surprise me if this were the case.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that Trump, the leader of this country, will be very measured and inspiring with his rhetoric tomorrow. He’ll work hard to calm the country and unify it. His leadership will be exactly the type of leadership this country needs at this moment…

Right? We have a murder that supposedly no one knows who committed but he's going to use it to tear us apart and bring his supporters to violence and the Trumptards will be incapable of seeing through his ploy, as usual. We are so ****ed.
 
We’re only on this blue marble for a finite time. Seeing Kirk handing out hats before being shot is a reminder that we never know when or where a bullet, a car accident, a virus, a blood clot, etc might get us. Thats striking to me. So use whatever time god has given you for good. What are we building with our allotted time?

I hope very much they catch the guy. But sadly, if this turned out to be the case, I would not be surprised.

Well, if we leave it to the head Keystone Cop, yeah, might take awhile. They canned the lead agent in the SLC office very recently as well.





But, now they have leads. Press conference saying they have video of the killer escaping into a nearby neighborhood. Saying they won’t release the video. Also, have the weapon, forearm prints, shoe prints. They have real good leads now, by the sounds of it. Watching presser as I write. Appears to be a “college age” individual….

It does seem like this is not an inside job. If it was an inside job they would have had a fall guy setup ready to catch. They truly are just terrible at their jobs and cant even keep their own people safe.

On KSL 1160 this morning they had their crime and terrorism expert analysist, Brad Garrett (I think he is former CIA or something), on to discuss the shooting. He seems pretty confident that it was a professional hitman rather than a deranged extremist with mental health issues. He was saying that there are a ton of cameras on a college campus and the fact that the shooter got in and out without being caught makes him think it was a pro.
If it was a pro then I would guess there is a good chance he never gets caught at this point. Dude could have been wearing a wig, mask, lifts in his shoes gear to make him look heavier etc. We might get a description of a 6 foot 2 blonde weighing 220 pounds and the actual shooter might be 5 foot 10 with black hair weighing 160 pounds. Dude could be a ghost who assassinated people around the world previously.
