This is just a lone wolf. Hell, there isn't even remotely a pattern of violence aimed at Confederate pundits. There is not even stochastic terrorism aimed at Confederates.

Who the fuck do these sister-fuckers even want vengeance on? We don't even know who the shooter is yet and there are no prominent figures on the left who are doing the stochastic terrorism thing (unlike much of the right).

For all we know, it's Charlie's jilted gay lover that shot him.

    All the previous shooters have been disillusioned republicans. The guy they arrested is older and white so... We will see in the morning

    It’s not even the right guy. They let him go. They have no leads, apparently.

    Time to do some police work. Let's see, who had motivation? Oh, like half the country? Jeez. Well what about opportunity? Oh, he was at a college, outdoors, surrounded by thousands of people, engaging in provoking "debate", and there was no real security set up? Yikes. And no credible witness accounts? Fuck. Well, send somebody over to the Altoona McDonald's and see if we can pin it on some Italian guy.

    So, if the shooter turns out to be some Nazi shitbag, these right wingers are going to war with them right? Of course not, because they don’t actually care about what happened to Kirk, and have no problem with violence happening (as evidenced by all the goddamn violence they are always doing). They just want to take advantage of an opportunity to do more violence against what they perceive as the other team. They’re sociopaths with no moral framework other than self-enrichment, self-aggrandizement, and ends justifying means.

    Best case scenario for planet Earth is if they find definitive proof that Kirk's assassination was jointly ordered by Putin and Netanyahu.

    All they want is an excuse to do exactly what they've always wanted to do.

    To be fair they respond to most things the left does with calls for violence. They want to commit violence over trans existence.

    I think that they (the right) need to look into this organisation:

    Oh! Oh! You mean just like when Trump tweeted a picture of Chicago exploding and said "Chicago is about to learn why it is called the Department of War"?

    It wasn't war when one Dem politician was killed, one was attempted. And a gubernatorial assassination was attempted?

    This the same far-right that couldn't wear a face mask when 1,226,351 of us were dying of Covid? I am terrified, I tell you, terrified.

    They’ve been getting more and more violent for 9 years, so I really don’t see how this is a change. They literally tried to overthrow the government.

    Of course, that's all they got. What, are they going to demand bipartisan cooperation and a commitment to end gun violence? Get real. They threaten violence every time the sun rises. It's a good idea to remind them that murdering who they perceive as the American Left won't be as easy as the Nazis crushing the Jews. There will be strong resistance, and it is already starting.

    Did they forget all the right wing terrorism they’ve already been doing like attempting to kill Pelosi and nearly killing her husband among other things

    On the other hand, a difficult long distance sniper shot has the marks of a professional hit, plus he got away. Sounds a lot like an ordered hit on a not too valuable target for a political purpose. Maybe a distraction from the Epstein files? Is it too much to ask to wait until we know a lot more before killing innocent people?

    I don't get it, if he's such a good guy, why are they sad that he's in heaven with Jeebus? Don't they believe that's where the good people go?

    They call for violence every time a non-white/cis/straight person breathes. This isn't news.

    Kirk wasn't even a politician, he was a talking head. And not even an A-lister like Shapiro or Jones. These guys are looking for an excuse to become violent and it didn't take much.

    There are more of us than you.

    Despite common belief (at least in my area) we have more guns than you.

    At this point, I would be shocked if the far-right responded with anything but calls for violence.

    They have no idea who the shooter was. They literally don't care. They are ready to just immediately blame the left, even if none of us had literally anything to do with it. Bunch of bloodthirsty psychopaths.

    Between this and WSJ claiming there's antitrans inscriptions on the ammo, this is almost certainly a false flag, meant to incite just such a war on LGBTQ+.
