        Most likely a southern state, a friend said Arkansas did this recently.

        The clubs have been there, teens become friends with people who believe in that “debate club” crap.

      MAGAs don’t do martyrs good, because they’re all sociopaths who don’t care about anyone but themselves. Other people are only important for whatever they can provide, which ends when they are dead. It’s hard for MAGAs to carry a torch for someone who offers no immediate reward. It’s all about what have you done for me lately, and Charlie hasn’t been very helpful lately.

        Sure it’s always good to point out that a person held absolutely trash views, horrible at debating anyone that was serious, and was a objectively horrible human being.

        You always need to talk about a person like that as a model for how not to be a good person to help ensure future generations don’t end up to be racist, intellectually dishonest, grifting trash adults.

      It’s because you are a good person or at least violence averse. Plenty of folks are, there’s nothing to be ashamed of in that fact.

      Personally I don’t get it. I see these fascistic pissants and my hand twitches, my mind hazes, and I hear the call of my ancestors and gods. I want to taste violence more now than ever, I want to go out like John Brown or his sons. But I have to restrain myself just as my ancestors have since civilization came westward and our savagery became inconvenient. But I shall restrain for now is not yet the time.

      The sign of wisdom is to know ones own limits and to act accordingly. You should separate thin self from violence if it upsets you so.

      Available evidence suggests he was probably on the left as he apparently killed him over trans rights. But the killer left very little clear information about his political views–if he had any beyond opposing bigotry.

        Wasn’t he a groper who disliked him because of his pro Israel stance?

        The fact we haven’t heard anything else from him kind of cements that as well as the current fbi would clearly politicize it if they could

          I’ve seen no evidence he was a groyper. There were rumors of that but I’m unsure what they were based on.

          Like I said, he just really didn’t say much about his politics publicly.

            I believe the groyper accusations were based on unsubstantiated reports of slogans written on bullets, but like you said, idk about actual evidence. Given the two loudest theories being he was either a fascist or an anarchist, he was probably a centrist.

              unsubstantiated reports of slogans written on bullets

              I would not call a join press conference by FBI director Kash Patel and Ohio Governor Spenser Cox unsubstantiated.

                They also said a Turan Ammo manufacturing mark was trans ideology just so we’re all clear about the caliber of thought at hand in Patel’s FBI.

                I find the most compelling link between him and the groypers is that the right shut up awful quick about him once that started coming out.

      I honestly don’t even understand why he has a memorial. He was just some guy. I said the same thing when Trump ordered flags at half staff for him.

      Let’s put aside his politics for a moment.

      Kirk wasn’t elected. He didn’t hold any political office. Literally just a random person who was killed.

      What he was known for was spewing hate, and then his own blood.

        He was a wannabe Rush Limbaugh style conservative political pundit clone that got funding from a billionaire at an early age. Nothing more, nothing less. Dude essentially hit the conservative political pundit lottery.
