I don't buy that the shooter is Israeli yet bc there weren't ten children shot as well and nobody thought to steal even a single panty
Facts and logic
Remember, if you think you have information on the shooter, you DON'T have information on the shooter.
Reports coming in that the shooter was Israeli, they say it was a dire situation as they discovered a Hamas base in his throat and had to act.
There's certainly hundreds of cases of them murdering journalists, so there's definitely precedent
were any journalists harmed?

There will be a right wing backlash to this but whatever backlash occurs will be far smaller than the harm he would've caused in the many decades of his life he would've had.
This has given rise to a thought. The anti-adventurism reasoning I often hear is "think of the many decades of your life you could be contributing to the revolution that you're throwing away". But what everyone misses in that argument is that it should also be weighed against the forces of fascism that are taken off the board as well. Would this shooter have contributed to the left in the next 40 years what the late Charlie would've contributed to the right in the next 40 years? I can't answer that because I do not know who this shooter was, but I can say Charlie would've done a lot.
I still think he's a bit too unimportant and incompetent, but he's also pretty young, so maybe it's like chopping down a sapling before it becomes a tree.
Bit of a "great man" reading of history though. Some other propagandist chud will step up to take his place. The void will be filled. Charlie Kirk only was as famous as he was because he was satisfying an existing demand.
As competent though? As skilled?
Nigel Farage in the UK has been forged through 40+ years of functioning as a crypto-fascist. Replacing the skillset that makes some of these fascists effective is not as simple as just bringing on the next guy in line.
Materialists do not disbelieve that great men exist, but that the conditions of the time created them and that without their existence other people would have been forged under the same circumstances. But what I am getting at here is that this is not an instantaneous process. You think if Bannon dies tomorrow someone else will just replace him? I do not. The man has been forged through decades and decades filling a niche that someone else will have to fill AND acquire the same experience before meeting the same standard he has.
Look at the competent ghouls like Kissinger vs the incompetent ghouls that currently exist. Do any of them hold a candle to him as a competent monster? No. Not really.
The death of ghouls creates holes that take many decades to fill effectively again.

APnews already has a list of democrats saying "no place for political violence".
There, however, is a place for violence when it comes to the American government murdering members of my family, other workers, those abroad, anyone who sneezes wrong, etc, etc, etc.
Social murder is too big a concept for liberals I guess.

If I didn't want to get assassinated in public, I would simply not spend my entire professional career stoaking an atmosphere of political violence and making it widely know that I'm a vicious and evil asshole who wants the worst for everyone.
