[RD] Charlie Kirk assassinated

[JollyRoger]

Imagine one man specifically had shot $harlie Kirk and then various people calling for war against leftists in general as a result

It's not supposed to be a "flex." Ironically, Kirk's words shows why affirmative action is still needed: no matter how accomplished a black person is, the default assumption of many white people will be: you stole that spot from a white person. With the obvious implication that only white people are really qualified to be Supreme Court Justices or law professors or whatever else.

Remind me again, was it Asians who imported black people here to work as slaves for c.250 years or was it white people? And then was it Asians who created a system of racial segregation enforced by brutal violence to keep all the wealth and opportunity in their own hands or was it white people?

"Oh gee, John went and made a joke that pretty succinctly made the part in bold I said look pretty foolish. I'd better pivot to an emotional plea and hope no one realizes."

That was a joke? Maybe pick a better moment for it. It looked either the wrong kind of flippancy or an outside chance of the wrong kind of serious.

 

[EnglishEdward]

Yes, but jokes are wasted on the politically correct who so often seem to have
pre-programmed themselves to ignore any sense of humour they might have.

Here is Gregg Gutfeld, one of Fox New's more influential people after someone brought up the home invasion and shootings of the democratic legislators in Minnesota.
It happened, uhh, 3 months ago.

The listed events are a horror movie.

It was a joke (I said that in the original unedited message) but in any event, I didn't know there's one particular minority I have to empathize with at the expense of others to be on the right kind of serious.

Edit - and btw, remind me to get you that supporter badge. Definitely looks like you're winning that bet lol.

Lets not call it yet. The cops will need maybe another week to (very hypothetically) have properly sorted through his comms and moved into position to arrest for (SUPER hypothetical) confederates.

Emotional plea? What the hell are you talking about? It's a plea not to pretend you were born four days ago, but for some reason when it comes to racism, most white people are really committed to the bit of pretending that they don't understand basic concepts like "the past affects the present".

The policy of affirmative action can have no other consequence. The very concept of prioritising certain groups over concerns of competence can do nothing but plant the seeds of doubt about the competence of anyone from those groups. How could it be otherwise?

And here is a great example of what I'm talking about! "Prioritizing certain groups over concerns of competence" is white supremacy! It describes how white people were (and still are) elevated above other groups regardless of competence for centuries.

I'm struggling with whether to let someone go for making a positive post on their social media about ¢harlie Kirk.

White supremacy is certainly an example of that, yes. But... who's defending white supremacy? If we can agree that white supremacy is a Bad Thing, surely we can agree that doing the exact same thing with other groups of people is also a Bad Thing.

I'd still pay up if he has confederates as long as the confederates can't reasonably be linked to some state or another (doesn't really look like it at this point). He doesn't have to be a lone wolf. A bunch of idiots from discord is still in the spirit of it, IMO.

You

Fire them toot sweet!

 

[Manfred Belheim]

You

This is a rather disingenuous claim which I'm 100% certain you aren't going to evidence. I just said prioritising certain groups over concerns of competency was bad, you said that's what white supremacy is, and I said yes. Explain how you distort that into defending white supremacy in your mind.

Moderator Action: Enough with the personal attacks and back and forth. Thanks.

 

[Kaitzilla]

Tyler Robinson will be formally charged in about 2 hours and appear virtually in court in about 5 hours.


The FBI is currently investigating if his Discord buddies had advanced knowledge of the assassination days or weeks in advance.

I'm not sure what anyone else could be charged with though?
Lots of people make wild claims on the internet.

 

[Birdjaguar]

They will be looking to tie Tyler to left wing extremism.

 

[Kaitzilla]

Good heavens, the 1st person arrested and then released was a spontaneous accomplice.

https://www.abc4.com/news/charlie-kirk-shooting-obstruction-of-justice-arrest/

OREM, Utah (ABC4) — The first man arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of Charlie Kirk yelled, “I shot him, now shoot me” immediately after the shooting in an attempt to help the shooter escape, according to newly filed documents.

George Zinn, 71, was taken into custody following the shooting, but he was later cleared on having any direct involvement with the shooting. He was arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice.

 

[JollyRoger]

I had guessed something like that when I heard of the obstruction of justice charge.
