    Could’ve been someone so far right that Kirk wasn’t good enough

      Kirk was one of the only people defending Trump’s pedophilia outside of the White House.

      Or someone so far down the rabbit hole that they believe the only way to get to “the next step” is to get it done themselves.

        I’m fairly certain whoever shot Charlie will be left leaning.

              He took out a chunk of ear, that’s getting shot in my book.

                Shrapnel scratched his ear, not a bullet. If it was a bullet, it would not have healed that cleanly. In a peraon that old. Look at his hand. It wasn’t even shot and it looks like it’s rotting on his body.

          It’s certainly possible, but so far the seemingly likely left motivated violence turns out to be right wing or just completely unhinged insanity.

          Before they concretely held actual power, the far right might have glossed over their differences, but now that they have actual power, the unhinged people they were tapping into are turning on them for various reasons. Turns out extremism is not conducive to a long term stable movement.
