Extremists and an anonymously run website are posting identifying details about people accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.

    Wherever the killer (is it a done deal btw? He confessed?) falls politically, my net reaction is positive. There, I’m in the screenshot too.

    “Allegedly”…

    I haven’t stopped celebrating for two days.

    It wasn’t RIGHT for him to be killed like that, but I believed the world would be better without him a week ago, and that opinion hasn’t changed now that he’s gone.

    “I’m so disgusted by political violence than I’m going to visit it upon everyone who celebrates it!”

    We’re clearly dealing with Nobel Prize winners here. /s

      These are the same Einsteins that voted for Taco just so he could be their “retribution” - meaning, visit political violence on everyone they don’t like.

      But yeah, they abhor political violence. 🙄

        “No, not like that! It was only supposed to happen to brown people!”

        (And the gays, transsexuals, liberals, artists and other degenerate dissidents like that)

        Sure, but I don’t see why I should give him what he wants – I take pride in being nothing like him.

    The Confederates: people that cry about so-called “cancel culture” and say they are “free speech absolutists” now are sending death threats to people that allegedly celebrated this.

    Oh, and people have already lost their jobs over their reactions to Kirk…

      Lying and hypocrisy are two of the main pillars of conservatism. Stop being surprised by it.

    So I’m looking up “Tyler Robinson” and Etsy has only MAGA. Nothing like the St Luigi which is what I want.

    Normally I would use Grok to do a face swap but somehow I think that would get me a personal visit with Tulsi Gabbard that I do not want.

    So I’m searching around and I find this: Replicas of Charlie Kirk shooting suspect Tyler Robinson’s T-shirt On Sale

    This shirt appears to have come from the Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF), the Guardian reported.
    One shirt on needshirt, for sale at $17.49, is described as a “funny political T-shirt.”
    One listing on Etsy showed a shirt with the description “Land of the Free Home of the Brave Shirt Bald Eagle USA Flag Tee Patriotic American T-shirt Charlie Kirk Shooters Shirt, Kirk Shooter Shirt.”

    Can anybody find a link to someone selling Tyler Robinson swag? Or get ballsy and sell some yourself?

    EDIT: Found some on Ebay , they are selling like hotcakes

      The dude looks to be a groyper who shot the founder of TPUSA. So, basically a Marklar “maga” that shot another Marklar “maga”.

      I would think that the target demo for any associated gear would be very, very slim?

        I think this is a Winnie-the-Pooh-in-China situation.

        Plenty of people are willing to honestly or sarcastically put aside their feelings about groypers and MAGA, and show their support for one who is in their eyes Redeemed.

        But doing so is literally like begging for the Party to come visit you. So you have to do something just oblique enough. Like carrying an umbrella “in case it rains”

      Same, honestly. I live in the vicinity of the Colorado shooting that happened, and…I’m just exhausted with shootings. I’m sure most Americans have hit that point, and over and over. And yet they persist. They have to.

      But this week has really been…a lot. Emergency vehicle sirens going for what felt like nonstop while listening to scanner feed and worrying about the kids and getting updates from friends and neighbors and coworkers about what they are (or are not) hearing from their kids, and seeing updates on the OTHER shooting in Utah.

      It’s all too much. I’m just tired. I know I’m not alone in that.
