Post news related to the United States.
let me guess, despite throwing the weapon down, he still has the gun on him, is wearing the exact same clothes, and was carrying a convenient manifesto along with a tattoo of the crime scene on his back.
Dude was able to evade the FBI for nearly 48 hours and he's still hanging out in Utah?
right.
Assassins are notorious for turning themselves in after assassinating people /s
Well yes, I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that not doing so would be against the law.
That's how I always do my Hitman playthroughs, don't you?
It is very likely that he fully expected to have been killed after the shooting, and so he didn't have a long-term plan for survival.
Edit: Now that they've caught him, it seems he did have a plan: to carry the secret into old age. So then he immediately went and started telling his friends that he did it.
I was gonna say, that campus is right by a busy freeway. He could've had dinner in Vegas before breaking for Mexico
22 year olds are not widely known for their foresight.
So let's let them buy guns.
Put all his prep hours into practicing his aim.
You're right about part of it. They're saying the clothes he was wearing when arrested were consistent.
You know, jeans, a T-shirt, and a hat.
White guy from an extremely mormon town. Clearly this was leftist.
I guess the right wing outrage machine is going to flip back to the subway stabbing now?
If he is right wing like Trumps would be assassin, the news will treat it the same way. As in not at all, nothing to see here, passed by after a day or so and never talked about again. Granted, the one article I read that named motive said the kid did it because he was mad about the Epstein files.
But I digress. Right wing, it’ll get quiet. Left wing it’ll be about blood.
Eagerly awaiting the “he was a covert operative Republican voter, secretly a democrat!1!1!” postings a la the guy who shot at Trump
Yeah they're still insisting that the guy who murdered the Hortmans is a "democrat" despite him having right-wing signifies all over him, because he got himself onto a state panel once.
I bet they'll scour this guys history to find him saying something good about Dennis Kucinich on some forum in 2015 or something to prove that he's really an antifa sleeper agent.
Which is hilarious considering that Trump wasn't a Republican until he decided to run for office.
He funded white Democrats before Obama.
Ok I'm not saying he was a leftist but don't act like it's at all unlikely for a 22 year old leftist to live in a Mormon town lol
That's like saying there's no gay people in the deep south
Son of a Mormon preacher police officer from Utah who's into guns and dressed up as Trump for Halloween one year. Yesterday it was "THE LIBERALS ARE KILLING US" and today will be silence and then the liberals will still somehow get the blame.
All the have to do is fill the information vacuum with misinformation early. The MAGA base only needs that much and right wing sources don't issue corrections. After that, no new cognitively dissonant facts can dislodge the narrative.
Thank GOD! How DARE He use a Gun to Murder someone I LIKE! Once he's EXECUTED we can go back to ONLY Shooting Children in School!
It's very telling that absolutely no Republicans even acknowledged the school shooting that happened in Colorado like 40 minutes after this.
Or who that school shooter seems most aligned with...
This FBI really is useless huh. The killer turned himself in, otherwise they would never have found him.
I'm not sure they wanted to find him. Now, they need to tell us who he is, and why he did it. I suspect his motives don't fit the narrative at all.
Since he was turned in by his dad there's a nonzero chance his dad's a chud and just turned him in because he said something funny.
His dad is reportedly a former pig and a Mormon minister, if that's true he's 100% a chud
is it me or does his face look really small for his head? like, are we sure someone isn't purposely shrinking his face on all pictures?
I like a running joke as much as the next person, but was it really necessary for them to use a small face edit for the header like that?
It's just their site using fixed size for headers. The actual image is: https://demstate.com/api/image/article-images/1458480018_63558/charlie-kirks-alleged-killer-2957fa77.jpg
For sure, I was just joking
So he and Luigi will form some sort of a team?
I didn't feel the same way about this assassination, and I think it's cause of the United Healthcare assassin had a beautiful smile and camera trail.
This is just Utah. I figured it was probably some Mormon conservative shooter.
Luigi is the OG on which the legend will be born and he is gonna be the first disciple of the church of Luigi
Engravings on bullet casings:
"Hey fascist! Catch!"
"Notices, bulges, OwO what's this?
"Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao"
"If you read this, you are gay LMAO"
Don't forget

aka "CALLING IN AN EAGLE" aka "The Five Hundo".
God fucking damnit, I thought it was someone clever who actually knew how to use privacy tools and hide for once.
Oh well, what's another six months wait for another dead nazi?
