Just another Wednesday in America. I go for a run on a beautiful day in the Colorado foothills and what do I hear the whole time? Sirens. I get home and tell my wife something is going on in town. I had my suspicions and she confirms them, there was a shooting at Evergreen High School. Three kids shot, all in critical condition. God damn it. How many school shootings has this state had now? It's every year at this point.
I go online to look for more details. And all the headlines are all about a different shooting. The victim's last words were, basically, "we don't have a gun problem, we have a black people problem." Well, it would seem he was proven wrong. What an awful video.
Of course, it is immediately assumed, based on zero evidence, that the shooter was a Democrat. And the conservative world is now basically demanding that the military be deployed against every Democratic voter in America. But we don't know anything about the guy who shot him yet. Maybe he was Democrat. But, as we have seen time and time and time and time again, people who are driven to commit these shootings are usually mentally ill and have bizarre, nonsensical political views.
For decades, this country's response to gun violence has been to do... absolutely nothing. Our appetite for it is bottomless. And things just keep getting worse. Go figure.
As I said two days ago. Have we all learned a lesson about jumping to conclusions about the motives/political affiliation of a killer following a shooting? No, of course not.
This followed a very similar same trajectory as the Trump assassination attempt. "He's a liberal, he's a liberal, he's a liberal! Oh, wait, his political views are actually nonsensical and he really just wanted to be at the center of a gruesome, public scene? Ah, well!"
People are so desperate to put this weirdo in a convenient little box so they can score their precious internet points. But the reality is that it's yet another case of a troubled, terminally-online young man with easy access to firearms. Just like the Evergreen HS shooter turned out to be.
Carry on with your civil war or whatever. I'd recommend you all log off, go outside, and take a few deep breaths instead.
You're obfuscating the truth.
Shooter is not mentally insane. Shooter is a leftist. Shooter is pro-trans. Shooter is EVIL. Evidence: “Hey, fascist! Catch," "If you read this, you are gay, lmao," and "Oh, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao,"
This thread... watching thick people shouting each other down with nonsense, over and over again. Chimps flinging their own excrement at each other on an endless loop.
Almost none of you would've behaved like this 20 years ago. What happened? Seriously.
I have to ask, are any of the frequent posters here doing anything but yelling into the void on this site? Are you out there volunteering for campaigns or donating or doing anything to make change?
Turning point gained popularity when Google changed their youtube algorithm to maximize user engagement. The algorithm found that controversial and wild opinions drove people to watch more videos. Youtuber content creators discovered to get more engagement and money they had to be even more controversial. Turning point got more extreme and so did the people attacking Turning point. I can't help but think that a computer somewhere fed someone non-stop rage bait videos in order to satisfy some exec at google that wanted to see x number of hours of were watched on youtube. And now we have a real world consequence of decisions made by a computer.
Dude...You never watched Kirk's YouTube video in your life...You're talking out of your azz...He wasn't extreme in the least...

All that is gamer meme talk and possibly groyper war talk. Not necessarily lefty. Likely very righty, but code from gamers.
Kirk shooter is a leftist. Evidence: “Hey, fascist! Catch," "If you read this, you are gay, lmao," and "Oh, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao,"
Leftists will try to TWIST the truth: "even though the facts clearly show that the Charlie Kirk shooter had written anti-fascist language on the bullet casings, we are going to try to claim that he was crazy!"

Agree with this. Kirk had rationale, engaged arguments/debates with people. He stood for traditional values. You may not agree with his opinions, but nothing about him is extreme. The libs tying all traditional values to extremism and then imploring their minions to do something about it is what caused this, and most of the other politically motivated attacks we see.

The middle one, using "gay" as a seeming insult and laughing about it, is not something a leftist would generally say. It comes accross as homophobic, they'd be cancelled for that.

Please. Leftists always scream about fascists while they themselves indulge in fascist behavior. Not even arguable. Shooter is a typical limp wristed soy-boy lefty.
Colorado shooter was not politically motivated...stop lying...No one knows what side he was on...You libs just throw out masses of lies and think no one will check...
You're an idiot and a liar.
CO shooter was a radicalized, white supremacist. That is MAGA 100%
CDC shooter was crazed anti-vaxxer.
Again, MAGA.
Own them. You created them.
Of course ALLLLL these shooters were raised with and loved guns. THAT IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR.
OWN IT.
So where do inner city killers fall into your perception of violence, where the murder #s are way way higher than anything we talking about in this thread?

Based on the downvotes, everyone is just shouting into the void! Honestly, that's good. I'm glad idiots like Disco Gary and AITR and GBT are wasting their energy here.

Other two are definitely anti-fascist
All these bullet casings tell you is that he was a chronically online sh!tposter. Trying to understand a serial sh!tposter's logic is an impossible task.
For all we know, the engravings were purely for, as they'd say, keks.
🚨 BREAKING: Charlie Kirk assassin set for DEATH PENALTY and EXECUTION after being charged with aggravated murder, per docs from Steven Crowder. Let's make this quick.

Yeah I need to update- apparently the first one had 5 arrows on it- possible d-pad inputs?
Also the D- pad instructions engraving is from hell divers
"Notices bulges owo what's this?" Is definitely internet sh!tposting
As someone who is smarter than all of you, why does it matter to you what the shooter’s politics were? They are what they are. We leftists are not afraid of the truth. If he is one of us, so what?
