Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.
Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.
Photo of the new alleged suspect:
This guy doesn’t look like an expert marksman, but I guess looks can be deceiving.
Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.
Oh, were they? That’s super convenient. Almost thoughtful of the shooter to leave that kind of evidence behind but evade capture.
A lot of people seem to be writing on gun cartridges these days. Kind of a new trend I guess?
Very confused how we ended up here, but started here:
Its in moments like these that I really appreciate non corporate social media. Everywhere outside the fediverse all I see is people freaking out, acting like this is the first shooting to ever happen in the united states. Even supposed leftists are just like “I don’t agree with the man but no one deserves to get killed over their beliefs”.
They seem to have forgotten that people get killed over way dumber shit all the time. Personally I care about all the other shootings a lot more than this one. Especially the school shooting in Colorado that happened the same afternoon, which is being mostly ignored.
There are even lots of comments that condemn anyone making light of his death, or even just making comments about his politics. This dissent they condemn is almost nowhere to be found though, because algorithms bury it all straight to the bottom. The only opinion allowed to be seen is “I’m horrified look at me”.
Coming back to a place where a real discussion can be had makes me realize just how important this project really is. We need more spaces that we truly own.

You know the universe loves irony when Charlie Kirt gets killed in a school shooting.
Whoever the identity of the assassin is, they are clearly a good marksman. According to reports, they made that shot about 600 feet away from the rooftop of a nearby building. While Kirk was stationary most of the time, they landed a clean kill to the jugular with just one bullet and then made a quick getaway. That’s Lee Harvey Oswald levels of accuracy. While I wouldn’t estimate that the assassin was a hired professional. They likely have seasoned experience with firearms or possibly military or police training.
“This is a dark moment for America,”
Every. Fucking. Day.
Why TF would you release this news and not include the picture?
It really says something about what a POS you are when you get shot dead and everyone’s reaction is to point and laugh.
didn’t know who this guy was, had to look him up. Good riddance.
My prediction is that another right-wing loon shit him, but even if they find the guy they’ll still blame the left the same way they did with the trump shooter.
He can join all those kids that got killed in school shootings ig
Unrelated spelling question: Is it “jilted lover” or “gilted lover”.
-
They immediately detained people who confronted Charlie at the event (as they were more democratic), but obviously were not the shooter.
-
The FBI says there is a massive manhunt for the shooter and are asking for any help they can get.
-
The Right IMMEDIATELY blamed democrats and the “radical left” are calling for our murders and a civil war, without any scrap of evidence to prove their claims.
-
The shooter was a ghost, some videos show a black figure on a roof 142 yards from the tent, well blended in and in all black. There is also video of the shooter running off the roof immediately after the shooting and got lost in the chaos. It’s been over 18 hours and no suspect has been caught.
-
Just before this event, Charlie voiced concerns over other right wing conservatives not aligning with his ideals and voicing concern over Israel. He was wearing body amour at this event and the shooter knew it. Extra security was brought in for this event.
The most logical explanations for this shooting would be:
-
Another right wing radical taking out a voice they feel is hurting their cause for the movement and to cause chaos in the political spectrum.
-
A political assassination carried out by Donald Trump and his team to start a war with democrats and start a real war within on anyone that doesn’t agree with them. AKA False Flag.
It’s just too clean a getaway and too good of a shot for any other explanation considering the angle of the shot, the elevation change, the crowd, and the heightened security.
-
When the GOP blames the left all I can say is, “The one who smelt, it dealt.”
