Trump ally and conservative pundit Charlie Kirk shot at Utah event [now reported deceased, same date 10SEP2025]

Democratic Texas State Representative James Talarico speaks on the assassination.

That’s right. Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Not just the ones who look like us and agree with us.

“You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”

–Anne Lamott

And yet, Trump and others willfully ignore that Democrats did condemn the killing, No matter, MAGAs just declare that Democrats should be targeted.

MLK Jr. was killed with a 30-06, but unlike Oswald’s Carcano, James Earl Ray’s Remington was pump-action so he wouldn’t need to cycle a bolt and take his eyes out of the sights. The king of Portugal was killed with a rifle - a semiautomatic that also didn’t require reacquiring the sights.

Good luck getting those worms back into the can.

Hey, let’s leave Kennedy out of this… /s

Their mom married Kirk once; no reason to assume her second choice would be better, nor that she herself is a non-turdsack.

That’s a great quote.

And to further make me hate being a Yankees fan, the Orange Asshole himself will be at the stadium tonight for a 9/11 remembrance. The only time he could go there and not get booed right out of the Bronx.

“Bore.”

eta: Like a rifle bore. God, sometimes I suck at humor.

I call those times “When I am fucked up.”

I’ll see myself out…

According to a count down window on MSNBC today, there was an announcement of some kind scheduled for 1:45 MT. That was changed to a sheriffs dept announcement at 2:00 MT then cancelled in favor of a presser with Kash Patel when arrives from DC. So, they may have good news that Patel wants the credit for, or bad news he wants to spin.

What’s the image on the suspects shirt?

“I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interrèd with their bones.
So let it be with Caesar.” - Shakespeare

This is where my entire arsenal, minus my 870 Express, came from. Every fucking one of them are untraceable.

Arsenal? Er, got some plans, friendo?

I’m trying to understand why the gunman didn’t dismantle his weapon and let it be found intact.

Eh, wipe it and toss it and you can’t get caught with it.

Aside from giving investigators a fun puzzle to solve, what is that meant to accomplish?

I’m just shocked that - with a picture now being circulated- we don’t yet know his name.

Quick escape, the leaving of messages on the bullets.

The FBI reports having one palm print from near the scene, we’re about to see some poor building custodian get hauled in.

He could complicate their task. Discarding pieces here and there in many different locations. Although, of course, I’m sure they could probably trace it by serial numbers on one component or whatnot.

That requires running around in public with pieces of the firearm you used to commit a very high profile crime.

Might as well just break into a nearby steel foundry and toss the gun in a vat of molten steel, like at the end of Terminator 2.
