    Since I was born in 1980 there have been somewhere north of 15,000 mass shootings and mass murder events in the US. The number of leftist shooters in my lifetime is a whipping total of 2.

    Elon must know who did this then, to say it was a left leaning person. Interrogate Elon!

    ‘When the left kills a political enemy, it’s murder; when the right kills a political enemy, it’s an execution or act of God or something.’

    Fascinating train of thought, choo-chooooo

    Everyone on the right or left who makes such declarations should be shipped out to an island deep in the Atlantic, far, far away, with no internet and free assault rifles. Right gets an AR-15, left gets an AK-47.

    Musk is a moron and mentally ill, and very very delusional.
    For now assassination attempts on both democrats and right wing politicians and people are by extreme right wing people.
    When Musk goes, I bet it will be one from the extreme right taking him out too.
    The extreme right is by far the most violent, and clearly the side that is fighting with violence more.

    I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it turns out Charlie Kirk too was taken out by a far right extremist.

    Remember when Trump suggested on national TV that “the second amendment people” should “do something” about Hillary Clinton?

    These fuckers started that stupid game a long time ago. Now they’re winning the stupid prizes.

      Palin said something to that effect almost a decade earlier shortly before a Dem legislator was assassinated. Stochastic terrorism is a tried-and-true part of their playbook.

    Two Democratic senators were shot just a few months ago. One died.

    But that’s okay and no cause for alarm.

      • Also, no one knows who the shooter is or their motivations are.
      • Also, "the left is a party… " is not aa statement that means anything in the US. They have far right and center right.
      • Also Charlie Kirk both said “gun deaths is acceptable to protect the 2nd ammendment” and “I don’t beleive in empathy”

      Is all hypocrisy and they’re just scared that they let the cat out of the bag. They pushed this rhetoric and were out and proud with their hate. Probably surprised they were getting away with it, and all of a sudden, they’re freaking out.

    Gotta love how no information regarding the shooter is out. Yet we have dumbasses like this illegal immingrant here, making absolutes about it being a leftist.

      I accidentally watched a few Asmongold videos since the TrumpStein thing hit.

      He seems to have a huuuuge youtube following.

      Today he released a video regarding this incident, all somber and rational for like 10 minutes about how both sides have to cool down their rhetoric etc. And then out of nowhere be goes all in on how dangerous and crazy the people on the left are and how it’s all their fault - for the next 7 mins.

      Dude, did you forget what you yourself just said in this very same video?!

      44000 comments at that point. 95% rightwing madness.

      I knew something isn’t right with this guy and his followers but that was kinda shocking.

      He tweeted this minutes after it happened. The right always does this, because it works. They seize the narrative early. It’s why a lot of people so easily forget the guys who tried to kill Trump were both on the right.

    Which party extra-judiciously killed a handful of Venezuelan civilians on a tiny boat nowhere near US waters and also killed a bunch of fisherman because they botched a black op?

    CORRECT! It was The LEFT who Attempted to kill Trump and The Left who Assassinated Minnesota Politicians and The Left who is Killing Immigrants and The LEFT who is attacking Power Stations and the LEFT who Killed Charlie Kirk even Though his Killer wasn’t Caught and Nothing is KNown about HIM!

      The “left” is anyone who isn’t part of their cishet white supply-side-christian republican in-group.

      The “radical left” is anyone that actively opposes their groups rampant political violence.

      Even here, he’s literally calling for violence. In fact, I’ve seen a lot of the right calling for violence.

      It’s all projection.

        Which is crazy because we know nothing of the person who did the shooting. Who would they even target? (I know the answer to this, but I still think it’s a valid question.)

    "From the assassination attempts of President Trump to Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO, being murdered. Now to Charlie Kirk. The danger was actually on the Left.”

    All the attempts on Trump have been disaffected Trump supporters. Brian Thompson’s killer, based on evidence at the scene, was apparently someone embittered over their treatment by his company and that can hardly be said to have been political. Kirk’s killer, whoever it is, is still at large and no motivation is known at this time. As far as I’m concerned, this is most likely another person on the right who’s pissed off about something the right has done or is doing.

    This whole X-cresence is fundamentally flawed. Frankly, the homicidal maniacs are nearly all on the right as far as I can tell.

      based on the comments I’ve seen from the right on his death, if I were putting money on a motivation, I’d say it’s that he got everyone riled up about the Epstien files, then made a sudden heel turn on “there’s nothing here”.

      It’s only a matter of time until someone on the left does actually do something like this though. They will disingenuously seize on that opportunity to further their agenda as they always do. The kid who punches his bully gets suspended while the bully laughs and continues to terrorize others.

      That being said, we already know that being in agreement with reality is not a requirement for Republicans to believe something. Facts don’t matter to them so don’t bother making factual appeals to them. Their goal is control and they will use any and all means at their disposal to achieve it, regardless of truth. Fight their control, not their arguments.
