Yeah I doubt the guy is apart of MAGA, but are they even sure that's the guy yet?
Edit: apparently he was
Was he apart from it, or a part of it?
If the story being reported is true it sounds like he was an apolitical kid raised in maga who began seeing the wrongs of maga and leaning antifascist. If so it's likely that maga primed him to do violence but antifascism gave him the trigger and the target.
That tracks given how basically every major political shooter or mass shooter with any background on the left also had a right wing background, with the arguable on every point exception of Luigi (may not have done it, may not be considered left, his ties to the right can be questioned)
I bet 'apart' is just like 'incase' and 'atleast'
Except it's already a word
He. Was inside
?
Seems pretty conclusive. He matches the physicality of he suspect in the footage, was wearing the same shirt, his prints were on the weapon and he confessed, so...
Yeah I doubt the guy is apart of MAGA
You shouldn't doubt it, he's a Fuentes fan.
Where did you find that?
- Everything on the casings is Helldiver's 2 memes and groyper memes
- Trump costume
- Pepe meme outfit (Adidas hoodie crouching)
- Fuentes and Kirk had issues going back nearly a decade, so that fits.
There's more, but that's what I recall off the top of my head. On my phone, but some tabs open on the desktop I can grab later if you'd like. This should be pretty easy to search for with his name for plenty of sources though.
I saw the pepe thing, but I didn't know that was a maga thing. I thought it was just a high frog. I figured the Outfit was to fit into the crowd. The helldivers thing I saw. But I haven't seen anything about Fuentes
This is all Fuentes territory.
Pepe the frog got co-opted by the alt right pretty early ( creator wasn't happy about that).
I'm not referring to his outfit day of, I'm referring to him in the tracksuit to match the Pepe meme (and specifically a groyper meme).
Helldiver's 2 memes are big in those circles.
I didn't come from a maga family but they became maga. Now they don't talk to me. It's been ugly and awful. Very common for children to hold polar opposite views from their parents. I don't think it means anything relevant here.
Even the ones posing in a "Team Trump" t-shirt?
You might want to zoom in a bit more there buddy, that's not the kid in the picture. That's some prick who got shot in the neck.
They all look alike. I just saw the trout mouth.
And I'm not your buddy, pal.
If anything, THIS is how we get a civil war. MAGA kills their own, MAGA blames the wrong people, more political violence from MAGA feeling wronged, the left die and MAGA will say it's their fault.
It was always going to be that way. MAGA use to kill . Roll the die to fill in the blanks.
Lets just hope that the majority of MAGA-lite loses interest in killing people once they see the results of their own family and friends getting murdered.
Nazis causing a crisis and blaming their enemies? Very original.
The shooter isn't MAGA, though. He was very left-leaning. Doesn't matter what his parents were. They didn't do the shooting or asked him to do the shooting.
To be fair, CNN reports:
Robinson at the [family] dinner said “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” according to the relative’s account related by [Utah Governor Spencer] Cox.
https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-death-09-12-25
Thats a weird sentence. According to a relative as related by the governor. Now I'm not saying it's untrue, but wow as a reporter it must be weird to report something that someone said that someone said that someone said.
Clicks are what matters now, not proper journalism.
Bingo. This is why some rag ran with the 'trans ideology' bs immediately
I had a feeling when it turned out his parents turned him in. They said he admitted to it, but then also said he just complained about Kirk. Something felt off. $20 bucks says he used his parents' gun, and they noticed it was gone, and now they're covering their ass.
Edit: the story has now changed to him turning himself in. We're three perps in. Fun times.
Edit 2: his family tipped them off, and then they turned themselves in after they saw themselves on the news.
And they wanted that 100k
Wdym turned themselves in? Were they complicit?
I was just being gender neutral. It's being reported that the son turned himself in after seeing himself on the news. It was also reported his dad tipped off the police.
Ah, gotcha
Stop. Calling. It. Assassination. Kirk was a pundit, a showman. He was not an official representative of an institute of authority. In no other context do people who are murdered get referred to as assassinated. It artificially elevates his importance and by repeating the term we are perpetuating the misinformation.
Technically so did I. We are not our parents' crimes.
I think the reason people are reporting one this is that they are glad he's not part of a minority group or political affiliation that the blame could be put upon.
If it were democratic, foreign, LGBTQ or other there would've been instant demonization. It even started before the alleged perp was even apprehended.
