Charlie Kirk shot at UVU event


President Donald Trump on Friday said the suspected shooter of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk is in custody.

“I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News.

“I think we’re in great shape,” he said. “He’s in custody.”

“Essentially somebody that was very close to him turned him in,” Trump added.

Would be crazy if a highly coordinated assassin was ultimately turned in by his dad. Wonder if its another coordinated diversion or if third time's a charm.
 
23 year old white male from Utah Tyler Robinson. Dad was a cop who he turned him in.

Havent seen any credible information about his politics yet which leads me to believe he isn't a leftist activist or that would already be blasting around social media.

Seems like the name has been public for at least 6 hours and I'm not seeing any credible reporting about who he was. Kind of makes sense given how generic his name is would make it hard to look up for Internet detectives but still wild to me there isn't anything out yet

No one is arguing that he was a good or bad person. I’m not interested in that. I’m interested In the hateful and extremist political rhetoric that folks like Kirk proudly spew into the political space and then refuse to take any responsibility for its consequences. This needs to end. Folks like Trump and Kirk serve hate then demand tolerance and empathy for when that hate bites them in the ***. Upset about being burned today? Well, turn off the damn blow torch you’re holding.

Brain dead retarded take. Anyone can justify violence like this. Do we really think that justifying violence against those we disagree with is the path forward? Either you can condemn it or you can justify it. I’m not surprised the stance thriller the Nazi sympathizer is taking here. Psychopathic.

I don’t believe the statement was actual justification for the act. Rather, it sought to point out: “folks like Kirk spew into the political space and then refuse to take responsibility for its consequences. This needs to end”. That is not “justifying” violence at all. It’s pointing out that rhetoric can lead to such outcomes, and we should at least understand that much. Rhetoric can divide, or it can bring people together. It can launch civil wars, it can unite a nation behind noble causes.

I’ve been referring to Trump as a fascist almost since he came down the escalator in Trump Tower and announced 10 years ago. But that’s not my fault, because it’s not my fault that Trump entertains fascist world views: creating “the other” to serve as a convenient target around which to use anger to rally and maintain a following of the disaffected members of our society, who will resonate with such techniques used to create followings. He did that the very day he came down that escalator 10 years ago. For someone with my background, right then and there: “You’ve seen this movie before. You know who I am and what I represent. It can happen here”.

And fascism always tales on characteristics of the nation in which it arises, and, unfortunetly, our nation included the ingredients that would make it flourish, once a master demagouge like Trump instinctively knew how to tap into it. Christian nationalism is a part of that uniquely Americanized fascist movement. Basically removing the Golden Rule from that faith, removing Love itself, and replacing it with an extraordinary degree of intolerance of others. Recognizing that all this is part of our present moment, with deep roots in our history, is a necessary thing if one wants the clearest understanding of our present moment. But that’s just my opinion. It’s shared by the scholars whose opinions I value. It’s not shared by people like yourself.

You know, we all bring to bear, in these threads, what we have to offer.

Unclear if this is the correct guy given how common the name is, but people are saying it's him. Will the right do what they said they wanted to do to the left when they realize it's their own people?

everyone of you should go back and read the first few pages of this thread. It's plane to see how the rhetoric has escalated and the division widened. The media has been a disgusting, lying, hypocritical, corrupt institution, and tool of radicalization. The media has brought us to this point and we are ever closer to war with americans. I cant imagine why anyone would want that or believe that is the path forward.
