Dunno about what happens to the left.

But Charlie Kirk will never be speaking again.

When will kids fucking learn to not make notes on their own criminal conspiracy for everyone to see? (ie. using fucking Discord out of all things?)

To be honest I don't buy the groyper theory at all. The suspect here apparently told his family that he disliked Kirk for "spreading hate". I'm pretty sure that's not the groyper critique of Kirk. Also pointing at playlists with 30 saves or videogame mods with 90 installs about how Bella ciao has been reclaimed or "fascist catch" is from a videogame is not convincing evidence. Neither is judging from his appearance. If average looking white dudes couldn't be leftist, this website would not exist. And the "Republican donation" is most likely not the suspect, the donation appears to have been made by a 30 year old, and not him (who would have been 17 at the time). There are probably many people with the same name in Utah. Pointing at his parents politics makes little sense either.

To be honest it all sounds like a load of cope from Reddit and Bluesky because "one of their own" may have just killed a political commentator, and they want to deflect at all costs to claim some moral high ground and muddy the waters.

The part that's really going to screw the left or liberals over is the public reaction over the past few days, and not necessarily the motives of the suspect. 1000s of people have likely been already fired because the right is straight up doxxing everyone who celebrated the killing of Kirk and contacting their employers, and bragging about getting them fired. With so many liberals posting (under their real name and profile photo) about how glad they are that Kirk died, it's like shooting fish in a barrel for the right wing doxxers. This kind of thing (openly celebrating death of political opponents) is severely off putting for most apolitical/normal people, which is why so many people are losing their jobs . Kirk could have died in his sleep at this point, the reaction has sealed it.

The one thing I find really sad is his parents Facebook posts being plastered all over the internet. By all accounts this kid had a good life and was doing well, and threw it all away to assassinate a political commentator. That's just sad.

reposting in this thread, but the casing that killed him was the OwO one the unspent casings were also engraved:

hey fascist catch

bella ciao bella ciao

"up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol and three down arrows" (thank u MarmiteLover123!)

if you see this youre gay lmao

Just as the right wing refuses to accept when a shooter turns out not to be trans, I will just start telling right wingers that the shooters was a nazi.

the internet was a mistake

The simple fact he's a super skinny white boy and dresses like a gropyer, is already deflating the MAGA rage balloon

why would WE be fucked he is very clearly a right wringer lmao
