    Well damn…

    https://apnews.com/article/charlie-kirk-conservative-activist-shot-546165a8151104e0938a5e085be1e8bd

    Charlie Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was in critical condition at a Utah hospital Wednesday after being shot at a college event

    and

    A university spokesperson said they do not have a suspect in custody. The school previously said in an alert that police had a suspect detained.

    Stealing this from mastodon:

    No one can say he didn’t believe in what he (hate) preached, I guess.

    I don’t think this is good! But at least he did.

    Someone on reddit found the t shirt, definitely the same kind. It has a flag and eagle with “land of the free, home of the brave”.

    It also is listed in numerous places as a “disabled veterans national foundation” shirt.

    Under the circumstances, could be relevant.

    Update: seems to be a gift for donating to that organization. https://www.dvnf.org/freegift15/

    Of course the usual caveats - don’t assume this person actually donated to them, or even is the actual shooter. But yeah, this all may be a clue why they’re so slow to tell us what they know about the shooter, given that it increasingly looks like it doesn’t support the narrative they led with.

    I just wanna say, even if this guy turns out to be antifa or whatever, fuck him. He stole the headlines from Trump-Epstein and made a ridiculous oligarch bootlicker like Charlie Kirk seem sympathetic. He didn’t do this to defend Trump’s victims, he did it to get attention. If he dies before getting captured, piss on his grave.

    Hopefully though he’s some right winger who thought Kirk was too far left. Unlikely, but if it does happen then watch how fast this drops from the headlines.

    Considering some of his comments over the years, I’m torn whether this is ironic, appropriate, or hilarious.

    I just can’t decide.

    The Mormons of Utah already hate our government, if Pedo-pig decided to send in his jack-boots, I’m curious to see how they would respond.

    “So we need a bigger distraction. Like Horst Wessel meets Reichstag fire.” I wonder if someday we’ll find out Trump ordered it.

    Or maybe it’s just chickens coming home to roost.
