I have to hold my hand up and admit I was wrong. I thought the shooter was going to be trans like the other shooters who tried to assassinate Trump and the one who murdered children at a church a few weeks ago.

It Turns out he had a boyfriend who was trans.

Tyler Robinson's roommate who tipped off FBI identified

Alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was turned over by Lance Twiggs, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.

If confirmed.....which looks likely given the widespread nature of the revelations, it would smash apart the rather unlikely claims that have been coming from the left about this being a disaffected Groyper.

It was rather annoying to have to waste my time batting back those....let's be frank....those seemingly unhinged 'blue anon' like claims the other night.

Occam's razor went completely missing.

Maybe we need a new philosophical concept to express the opposite.

You know perfectly well I meant evidence of anyone on the right celebrating the assassination of CK. There is none so his assassination celebration is a left thing.
Regarding George Floyd, there was a worldwide pouring out of emotion, MPs taking the knee and the EU holding a minutes silence… why? Do they do this for everyone killed by a Police Officer? No so why for George Floyd? CK was assassinated in an affront to free speech, where was the EUs minute silence?

Why would an idiot on the right celebrate this? So of course not. Only idiots on the left might.

What’s wrong, insulting and divisive is to describe it as a “left thing”. It isn’t. It’s an idiotic thing. Most on the left and the centre condemn it. Only idiots don’t.

George Floyd’s murder was committed in such a shocking way that highlighted an endemic problem of institutional racism. It touched off a wave of protest that united many disparate groups, united by a desire to stop it.

Let’s see how the EU decides to reflect on the challenge to free speech that CK’s murder represents. It only happened a few days ago.

Let's be real here you have cherry picked one tragic UK incident from 2016 to paint the right as inherently violent while ignoring the mountain of evidence showing lefty extremism fueling chaos in the US is straight up deflection.

Jo cox was a heartbreaking loss and no on on the right cheers violence like that like we have seen on the left celebrating the assassination / murder of Charlie Kirk.
The facts do not lie the lefts "mostly peaceful" narrative crumbled under the weight of ther own actions. In 2020 BLM and Antifa riots torched over 2,000 locations looted billions in damages and turned cities into warzones.

No I didn’t. I referenced an article showing how right wing terrorism is a major problem in the USA. Which is the subject of this thread. It makes the point that left wing actions tend to result in damage to property, whilst right wing actions kill or injure people.

David Amiss?

Was every bit as awful. Killed by religious, not political, extremism.

It’s only major as it’s constantly line 1 in all lefty outlets.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Yes, the murder of Jo Cox was awful.

I know somewhat of some of the organisations that are deemed 'far right' and anyone who suggests that her murder was celebrated, in fact it was condemned: as it should be.

Similar to David Amess, this is one of the few areas in which I think the vast majority of people are in full agreement.

As they are in the murder of Charlie Kirk, which is the point I have been making.

To frame it as a “left” thing is to further divide when healing is needed.

 

[Spindle]

The cope from Wisbech and his type distancing "the left" from this trans loving shooter is extreme.

Next time he mentions something bad that is right wing I doubt he'll apply the same logic.

Well, not exactly.

Islam is both, it doesn't have a recognition of the separation of 'church' and state like Christianity does. There is no verse to point to unlike in the Gospel.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated during the week by the left wing actions.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated during the week by the left wing actions.

Indeed with the possibility that Robinson had co-conspirators or at least those with foreknowledge of the attack. Robinson shortly before the murder was caught on video talking on his mobile before accessing the roof.

Benny Johnson here....a well known US right wing activist claims tips from the FBI are indicating that Robinson's digital foot-print is in their hands and that Robinson was indeed left wing....and that 'online groups' are attempting to delete or destroy evidence.
