Charlie Kirk died the way he lived

Different when the barrel
points at you

 Will the shooting death of Charlie Kirk be the casus belli Republicans need to institute their campaign of widespread domestic terrorism and mass murder?

It's grimly ironic that Kirk's death is being treated as MAGA's 9/11 but, also emblematic of the time we live in with rising Authoritarianism and non-stop violent rhetoric from Republicans.

Democratic politicians and liberal pundits immediately responded to Kirk's death with somber calls to tone down the rhetoric and to condemn all political violence.  Republicans responded with declarations of War against millions of Left and Democratic organizations.

Anna Paula Luna(tic) not her real name screamed at Democrats on the House Floor, Major Traitor Greene blamed Democrats for the shooting,  Elon Musk took to his platform to declare the left murderous,  Dirty Cop Clay Higgins vowed to use Congress to ban everyone who mocked Kirk's death from the Internet and Pedo DonOld Trump vowed to eradicate the radical leftist, whom he blamed for everything, and this is before the shooter has even been apprehended let alone anything about him learned.

As to the shooting I watched it once so let me give my non-expert ballistics report;  Kirk caught one round in the front left neck (apparently), the claim circulating is the shooter was about 200+ yards away.  If, the shooter had a rifle zeroed for 100 yards the drop in bullet trajectory would correspond to the 6-8 inch drop if he was aiming for the head.  That's all I'll say about that.

But, in wake of his death the condemnation of political violence from centrists and Democrats morphed into effusive praise with claims of his brilliant political acumen and comparisons to MLK Jr.  The fucking New York Yankees held a moment of silence and remembrance with his fat fucking head on the Jumbotron.  What a fucking grotesque sham.  

I come not to praise him but to bury him.  Charlie Kirk was a despicable Racist and Nazi, he took immense glee in mocking Paul Pelosi, routinely dismissed the qualities of empathy, said dead school children is merely the price we have to pay for the 2nd Amendment, praised the US Navy blowing up a Venezuelan boat with 11 unidentified and innocent people on board, and tried to blame the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortmann, her husband Mark, and their dog by a Trump-loving gunman on Governor Tim Walz.  His death came as he mocked gang violence and dismissed gun control.  Kirk is receiving large amount of empathy in death that he denied to large amounts of people in life.  I will give him the same amount of grace and sympathy he gave unto others.

Now, yesterday was dominated by a rush of rightwing propagandists calling for (literal) War, calling for the dismantling of the Democratic Party, calling for the rounding-up and imprisonment of leftists and liberals.  Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok) was bloodthirsty throughout the day.  These rightwing propagandists are performing the function of the old Soviets-style Political Officers,  Raichik you will recall even cosplayed as an ICE Officer complete with badge and federal beanie, going on raids.

These people however, have no fucking intention of every lacing up boots, grabbing a ruck, helmet, and rifle;  each of their calls is for others (under the auspices of Presidential Power) to do the dirty work, while they continue to incite from the safety of their phones and keyboards.

And everyone's who is caterwauling about rising Political Violence is merely demonstrating they are looking through blinders of white privilege.  State-sponsored "Political Violence" is already here and has been for months with Trump sending out his ICE White Knights to harass and detain brown people, now with the absolute backing of the Supreme Sinister Six.  Kirk himself absolutely endorsed "political violence" as he sent 80 buses packed with insurrectionists to DC for the Jan6th Terrorist Attack.

So, don't worry that Republicans will use this as a pretext to unleash the military or paramilitary law enforcement apparatus upon Us, they already did and they already planned too.  But, Republicans needs to be real, real, real, real, real sure they want to start ordering the "Day of the Rope" they have yearned for and dreamed about for years.  Because a lot of these cosplay internet tough guys think they can simply round-up and liquidate a bunch of liberal "squishes" need to make sure they don't put a stress test to the United States Military.

Anyway... Thoughts & Prayers... 

Additional:

As Kash Patel and the FBI flail away at this case, let us not forget that Charlie Kirk stated numerous times women of color got their jobs through DEI (i.e. Didn't Earn It).  So the former lead Field Agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani woman named, Mehtab Syed, incredibly qualified and highly regarded, with a string of excellent case work, was fired just a month ago with no rational given.

Update:

Conservative talk show host Steve Crowder obtained a description of the weapon from an unidentified person at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, he said in a post on X.

Now, rightwing media is running with "leaked" information from a source with direct knowledge claiming transgender and anti-fascist ideology was found on the bullets and or rifle.  You always knew Republicans were going to blame the Trans people for this, but I for one would think Senior FBI and ATF officials might be upset details of evidence was leaked immediately by someone involved in this case.  That sure would have been bad for me as a Police Officer.  And oh look who the source is for this, disgraced homophobic sex absuer Steven Crowder.  I assume he's trying to quicken his flagging MAGA talk show after the revelations of his disgusting behavior.

I was a Democrat until 2018. I had so many Clinton centric Facebook connections by then and through the years some of the sites they frequent have posted the most hateful, death to Republican politicians messaging imagineable. The core issue here is, Social Media wants both sides to combat each other as they remove human to human interaction with their human support teams, which now basically no longer exist. I've tried to report the most extreme hate speech demanding the death of politicians, and have been rebuffed every time by HateBooks AI support. That is the core issue that allows hate to fester and manifest into violence.
