Been following the developments on the shooting of Charlie Kirk quite intensively from Europe these past few days. This whole thing stinks. Investigators had no idea who the shooter was, then BOOM, all of a sudden they do? Tyler Robinson goes home, tells his dad (who is former law enforcement) and he then tells a family friend??? This stinks. if the father is a former cop or whatever, he would either go full out and snitch his son to the people searching for him, or take it with him to his grave. Makes no sense, I don’t buy it. Trump knew about the shooting before any media, that was on-site, reported about it? Fishy.
I dunno man, maybe its just my extreme distrust in the US but with all the radical shit that’s been happening over there since Trump’s reelection, I think nothing is too wild to not be considered. The american right needed someone of significance to get popped so they could use their image for martyrdom to push their ideals.
On a person note (yes, this is going to get me down voted to shit): I’m quite appalled at the sadism and joy that many people on Lemmy are taking to the killing of Kirk. I’m not getting into his politics. Yes, he was radical, i disagreed with his messaging and values and he was a piece of shit. But from a humanitarian perspective, way too many people here are making fucked up memes about the death of a young man with two young kids and a wife. You don’t have to like him, you can even hate him, but leave the guy some dignity ffs. Maybe Lemmy isn’t the platform of intellectuals I thought it was. This will probably be my last post. Americans are fucking insane.
I will just disagree with this point. Republicans don’t need anything real in order to play the martyr. They can be a bunch of whiny bitches when literally nothing is happening to them.
Also, I totally agree with your last point. I think there’s a lot of people on here that believe there’s problems with our county and only violence will solve it. It sometimes feels like there isn’t a place on Lemmy for disagreeing with that.
well said
