Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's about the LGBT because of the trans partner? That's a bit of a stretch there, hombre
Oh they are running with it. The jump in logic is because he was sleeping with a trans woman he's automatically part of the left.
The logical endpoint of "LGBTQ existence is inherently sexual/political"
Wasn't there some chud professor that started the whole panic around people being trans as only a fetish? I remember hearing about it in a Contra(lib)Points video.
Ray Blanchard
(CW: discussion of transphobia)
His theory of two types of trans people: autogynephilia and homosexual trans.
The former are people who transition solely because its a fetish and they find it arousing to be a woman, and the latter are the “less bad” trans people are men who are attracted to men but are so feminine they ‘might as well’ be heterosexual women.
What’s even more weird is some trans people adopt this theory. When I was in college someone once accused me of having AGP because I made a dumb femboy UwU joke, and when I asked “what”? She then said she was HSTS and knows ‘real’ trans people from the “fakes”. Keep in mind I am not trans, I am literally the grungler stereotype. Once again, if you’re cis and you think that transphobia will never come back to bite you, you’re wrong.
Yeah and you got straight morons who are like "soooo you're straight and hanging out with trans people, are you gay or what?" 
"Nah they're just actually nice people and you're a fucking asshole"
transphobia
It's really important to remember Ray Blanchard identified as homosexual and was allegedly a notorious chaser of trans women.
So uh projection much.

Yeah that's the bozo
Jordan Peterson? Or one of those annoying Weinstein ones?
Nah wasn't JP before his time I think
Raymond something. I know who you're talking about
Close! Ray Blanchard
Ah! Thanks, so close lmao
In the "all transphobia is recycled homophobia" mantra it seems the CHUDs are attempting to
Resurrect the highly discredited Scott Lively's "The Pink Swastika" (cw extreme homophobia nazis) / queers are inherently extremely violent and need to be contained / restrained line.
Attempt to pass gun control laws against queers so violence and terror against them is more easy.
Involuntarily commit trans / queer people to mental instiutions. (cw slurs / transphobia)
Honestly surprised they didn't let him go do it
"Bro, we get it. But, holy shit, you gotta leave us at least a shred of plausible deniability! Now our hands are tied"
And of course when the violence is coming from the right the news barely touches it. Plugging his name into the news search gives results that mostly aren't even him. All the "no place for violence" shitheads are mysteriously silent about this.
All the "no place for violence" shitheads are mysteriously silent about this.
Because they agree with it and want it to happen more
"No place for violence" against anyone that looks like me or shares my opinions, otherwise there's plenty of room for violence
Well you see, this was one of the violent incidents that is ‘according to plan’ so no need to worry. 
I feel like the corporate offices of discord would be a more logical target to avenge Kirk
This one was commented publicly on Facebook. Not dealing with the best and brightest on there.
With how bold this one was, it makes you wonder how many more just don't get reported
The “you can’t fight hate with hate” crowd everyone.
Shitstain posting this shit in public comments they really think they're untouchable
Anecdotally, a friend who works public health outreach was working a Pride event last weekend and many people were coming up to their org's booth and asking about fallout and backlash from both the shooting and general political atmosphere. The participants also shared that attendance was markedly down from last year.
Attacks based on a victim’s sexual orientation made up 17.2 percent of all hate crimes in 2024, and 4 percent were based on gender identity, according to the Human Rights Campaign’s analysis of FBI data.
Looks like CIA found his man to kill a higher target
