It turns out that the person who killed Charlie Kirk was apparently a Groyper, if he was anything coherent, based on the inscriptions on the cartridges in the hunting rifle he used to kill Kirk. Also, any one of my male relatives who hunt could have made that shot — it’s not some “highly trained” sniper per the media speculation. So Kirk was apparently killed as part of a MAGA v MAGA feud by a young man who should have been planning for hunting season instead of wallowing in MAGA hatred.

As Kay mentioned in the comments yesterday, the WSJ was so eager to believe some bullshit about the inscriptions on the bullets being “trans ideology” that they reported a thinly-sourced article about it. So much for my trial subscription.

It’s notable that Kirk’s alleged killer was only apprehended because he told others about the murder. His parents are registered Republicans and Mormons. Therefore, Nancy Mace, who was all spun up to blame trans folk for Kirk’s murder, changed her tune:

Mace’s post is typical of the soft bigotry of low expectations that MAGA Christians have for anyone that they think is part of their tribe.

The other white-on-white violence of Wednesday, a school shooting in Evergreen, CO, was also perpetrated by a young person whose social media postings included anti-semitic, white supremacist rhetoric. Also, he posted a picture of the .38 he used in the shooting, which so far only claimed his life after he shot himself.

It’s past time that the media and Democrats tell MAGA to start cleaning house. They’re clearly creating a bunch of young killers via their violent rhetoric. These assholes spend most of their time telling the rest of us how to live, while they are a cesspool of hate that’s turning vulnerable young white men into killers.

These sick fucks, who post pictures like this, should be taken to task for the death that their spawn are raining down on the rest of us. Also, the parents of the underage kids who take a gun to school and maim others should receive the maximum punishment under the law. In Colorado, that’s a felony with up to 6 years of imprisonment.

Some lesser known (mostly online though, my experience comes from real life in Appalachia) dog whistles:

I tease my daughter about retreating to a Lefty enclave, but I’m really glad my grandchildren are being raised around normal people. They have a diversity banner at my granddaughters kindergarten 😂

We have so many pride flags around town. My mom came to visit (from Republican land) and asked what they were because they are everywhere. I never really thought about it too much.

Of course all the sleuthing around the mystery of the evolving shell casings (transgender —> antifa —> online brain rot) was done by niche media outlet The Verge, because the MSM just can’t be bothered anymore.

Similarly, the MSM was running around in the afternoon claiming that according to a high school “friend”, the shooter was a rabid leftist. That fairy tale crumbled within hours as the “friend” and their story quickly fell apart. But not before they validated MAGA’s thirst for more violence, and quietly printed retractions that nobody would see.

Did anyone watch Erika Kirk’s 16 min statement? I watched until this line & then clicked off.

“Now & for all eternity, he will stand at his savior’s side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr.”


Read the rest on line. I'll spare you the part about telling her daughter he was now on a work trip w/Jesus. Some excerpts:

“They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith & of God’s merciful love. They should all know this: if you thought my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea, you have no idea what you have unleashed across this entire country and this world,”

“You have no idea the fire you have ignited within his wife, the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won’t, I refuse to let that happen.”


It's worth it to take a spin around Kirk’s Wiki. The Christian Nationalist talk only started in the last 5 years.

These people have no clue who Jesus was or what his message was about. Every time they open their mouths, they remove any doubt about that.

No but I'm glad to read about it here. I don't think I could get through it. It makes Horst Wessel reverence seem tame.

That the “mom” proudly posted a photo of her middle schooler dressed as Kyle Rittenhouse for Halloween tells you all you need to know about her. Violent, insane environment for young men.

Tax the bullets and require liability insurance coverage on every gun just like every car. It would make a difference.

It amazes me that more people don't recognize The Punisher skulls and other symbols (sonenrad, etc.) as well as the 👌these people flash. Of course, because these symbols flourish in my locale, and because I'm half Jewish, I educated myself early and often. Not gonna sneak up on me!

They. Are. Nazis. If they're not, how come the Nazis think they are.

I had no idea you were half Jewish! Now the Nazis have another reason to hate you.

Maybe somebody should have reminded Kash Patel before he decided to cosplay as a white nationalist and announce he would “see his brother [Kirk] in Valhalla”. I don’t think Hindus go there.

Some of the replies are educational

"Apparently the Christchurch mass shooter ended his final social media post with "See you in Vahalla" Confused is the least of the problems with the head of the FBI."

As someone who's also half Jewish I understand you but it's missing some context.

When it comes to Punisher Skulls and that sort of thing I'm also a vet and well aware that it's popular regardless among my tribe. When it comes to Viking symbols the other half of my biological family is from there and I'm well are of movements to reconnect with a past. In many cases well that half of my family had to be naturalized citizens as did the Jewish half. I'm first generation born here.

There are fights in those groups over who owns what. Just as anything East Asian codes as alt-right if you want to include the other stuff. Sushi, Samurai culture, Korean food, cartoons, Chinese art, the far right loves all of it. So do a lot of other people so my alarm bells are muted here as well.

Sushi and samurais are not affiliated with the far-right in even the slightest way that Norse symbology is. That has to be one of the most bullshit arguments I have ever seen.

You might as well be one of those “heritage not hate” clowns claiming that the confederate flag really isn’t the symbol that it has become.

I think instead of talking about this on social media, there should be a write in campaign to the network that they should part ways with people on this show promoting eugenics. Letters should be written to their advertisers too.

Conservatives need to police their own extremists so people don't get killed.
