Kash Patel says suspect now in custody.


Released. Suspect still at large.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

It's been 8+ hours and the FBI is as close to finding the shooter as Facebook is.
I'm calling it, the FBI either doesn't want to find the shooter or Kash Patel literally fired everyone useful and replaced them with what I can only assume are large tubs of cocaine for him to shneef.

Go to bed.

I agree, let's nuke south park and fund robot chicken instead

I don't watch South Park anymore. But what happened in the episode?

 

[henstepl]

Shooter has been identified. The FBI accidentally let him walk.

This highlight isn't actually telling the correct (current) interpretation is it? They didn't lock him up and mistakenly release him.

 

[Samir Al Hajeed]

It's not in a meaningful way. Nobody will become conservative because of this and nobody is gonna face consequences for saying they support it.

I agree, but people are talking about it anyway, all the posts going "zomg look how evil this troon is for liking this" are ultimately hinging on optics being relevant (even if they really aren't)

 

[Tezcatlipoca]

Remember the Unibomber?

He was an autist not a scizo.

I doubt it. President Vance seems inevitable. We likely won't see another dem in office until the late 2030s at the earliest and by then they'll be unrecognizable and probably more or less 2000s Republicans.

you never know some actual horrible PR thing might happen or you know fall of the American Republic start of the American Empire. I do think the writing is on the walls though for some tough times ahead but the problems were currently facing as a society have been know about and pushed off so the boomers can die in relative peace.
The assassination of Charlie is a symptom of the collapse and the whole situation is rather blackpilling . Shittier societies have crawled out of deeper holes though so i think the United State as a whole should be ok.

 

[AnOminous]

If you are a journalist and a 2 second look on twitter can disprove you, you NEED to be fired.

That cunt saying with a completely straight face that hateful words lead to hateful deeds and blaming Kirk for getting shot, when journoscum constantly portraying him as a murderous Nazi got some probable schizo troon to shoot him.

It's not a gutsy move to fire him. They just know the optics are super bad, bad enough they might get someone to Kirk their offices.

 

[Non passing troon]

Lol

"I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage" - Charlie Kirk

Who cares about this?

Are you going to discuss the context in which he was talking about "empathy" or are you going to act obtuse?

, we're all the losers when people start dying over political debate.

And what left winger has died due to debate? Name one? I am all for "both sides", but only where it applies, otherwise it is simply coping.

Then why was he a registered republican?

He was registered as a repub, but donated to Dems apparently.

I thought the Governor said the suspect is in custody? No name yet, though.

That suspect was questioned and released.

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

Thomas Crook wasn’t he an old school republican? I mean yea he donated once to a democrat cause, but I’m pretty sure he was a righty.

Kid is a mystery case as so much about him was being purged right as people were looking.

Honestly got curious and checked the old thread as a relative was mentioning him as a Republican shooter. Looking back, the only evidence of it was his registry. Past that, classmate testimonies say he hated politicians with a more specific hatred of Trump, his parents were both lefties (one libertarian), and he was very big on Covid. I am sure I am missing stuff since then, but by all accounts except registry, he seemed to be a product of the left or some apolitical crazy.

 

[Maori Kiwifruit Growers]

Rainbow, we all know you apologized after Null told you to knock it off on MATI. No one here beside the newest of newfags listens to you anymore and for good reason. Those of us will a brain saw what your true colors were.

What happened? Which mati ep was it?

 

[Still Anonymous For This]

No one is accepting school shootings as normal. They aren't normal, and weren't a even noticeable occurrence despite America being a gun-haven since the mid fucking 1700s until the 1990s where half of American teens were on drugs and/or from a broken home.

During the 50s and into the 60s you could walk into any hardware store and buy an M1 Carbine and enough magazines to slay four kindergarten classes and not even get asked for an ID.

Seems to be from this xitter post:

Are these pics from a "smart" vending machine? They are from such a strange angle.

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

I kinda find it funny that everyone is using his Pro-2A quotes against him, when he was shot in a school zone which are notoriously anti-2A zones.

No offense, but I think the bigger picture here is them cheering about his death for what he believed, and then telling us we need to disarm ourselves to prevent it. Mind you, they also cheered when that Catholic Church was shot up.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I doubt it. President Vance seems inevitable. We likely won't see another dem in office until the late 2030s at the earliest and by then they'll be unrecognizable and probably more or less 2000s Republicans.

Lol oh boy, that's naive and hopelessly optimistic.

Then they can respond with George Floyd's death

With a career criminal nigger's overdose?

 

[Lokenstien]

The argument is that “empathy” has been used as a tool to silence truth and enable really terrible behavior. Calling empathy a scourge is clickbait title for a solid argument.

Oh so like everything nowadays important words are fundamentally meaningless with everyone having wildly different definitions but we all still communicate as if these words mean the same thing. No wonder the internet exhausts me.

 

[BlastMonk]

Since we don't know the motive of the shooter yet, he's the potential motives of who did it I've seen around
-Left wing democrat who hated how much influence and power he had/ feared he'd be president someday
-Right wing republican who hated Charlie for some esoteric reason or hated his Israel stance
-Groyper or some other far right extremist who hated him for not being as ideologically pure as their in group
-Israel or some doesmtic glowie org pulling some 4D chess move to distract from the Epstien stuff by giving the right a martyr
Am I missing any perspectives?

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

oh my Jesuserino guys I know this is kiwifarms but please A MAN JUST DIED this is NOT FUNNY please do not have a laugh even at his expense for a minute even though this is a site that laughs at stupid shit, I was told by my nephew on the twitter this is where SERIOUS CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL DISCUSSION HAPPENS so please thoughts and prayers for his family smh literally shaking rn MAGA 2032

You have no respect for what this site embodies or what its creator has endured to allow you to be a snide irreverent asshole or the fight we are in even when we sperg and shitpost. You act flippant because you are scared to ever give a shit or have skin in the game besides consuming. You are the ultimate

 

[barrow greeter]

If Charlie Kirk was a "nazi", you are a "nazi" whether you like it or not. They've declared war on you.

 

[Farm Hand]

>MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd for his comments after the shooting of Charlie Kirk

Political analyst? Good riddance. Offense aside, if you honestly believe conservatives fire guns in the air in celebration like cowboys on TV, you're just really bad at analyzing politics. And if you don't believe that, you're a total hack for saying it.

 

[Twix Eatr]

Plenty of people do, though, and those repulsed by the gravedancing ghouls on their own "side" don't want to be remotely associated with them.

Yes, this is accomplished best by not mentioning the disclaimer at all.
