First it was reported by Deseret News it was a young black man but they deleted that from their website. Now it appears it was an old white guy.
Christ, so now all us old white guys are gonna be demonized as domestic terrorists. Damn, and here I thought I was a protected class under King Donny.........
The saddest part of this whole tragic situation is that the current state of affairs under the Trump administration(s) has robbed me of my empathy (or the majority of it anyway) for those who seek to degrade and divide us through vile words, actions and lies. Karma is very, very real. My heart goes out to the Kirk family. But Mr. Kirk had to know that his actions and rhetoric on a national scale were eventually going to piss off one crazy or another. You cannot attack a wide range of targets and not expect to become a target yourself. Thoughts and prayers.......................until the next shooting, and the next one, and the next one.......
Seeing him get shot wasn't on my approved list of things I wanted to see today. As much as the man is a disgusting pig and should be mocked until the cows come home, this isn't good for anything.
That being said, this is going to suck in the news cycle. Most likely he got shot to take away from the epstien files. I normally dont believe in conspiracy theories but since Trump and all his people and people who voted him are the stupidest fucking idiots, I dont put it past for people to be martyrs in all this.
The political sphere, regardless if you’re left or right, is constant gas lighting. It’s a powder keg.
There are two extremely sad things i'm seeing from this event. #1 - dude is a father. If he doesn't make it his child has one less parent in the world. #2 - these people are already blaming the left and calling them disgusting before any details about the perpetrator comes out. Any sane reasonable person waits to review the facts before going into full blown rage.
Lmao it was one of their own. Explain this away you fucking idiots. God i love how stupid each and every trump voter.
I've never understand why people jump to conclusions about shit like this. They're almost never correct in their assumptions, and it only makes things worse. The shooter might be a Democrat/liberal/progressive or he might be a Republican/conservative/maga, it doesn't fucking matter. This should never have happened, and nor the rhetoric that he espoused should never have been allowed to go mainstream.
