What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

Still, it's refreshing to see one of the fomenters of gun violence be the victim of their rhetoric instead of a school full of children for once.

2 students wounded in shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado; suspect dead, officials say

Authorities said a male student opened fire with a handgun Wednesday at Evergreen High School, wounding two students, before fatally shooting himself, according to authorities.

(This happened yesterday, but got drowned out by Kirk's shooting.)

All these people celebrating Charlie Kirk . Why ? It changes nothing if the shooter wanted to make some political statement take a flight to Russia and pay Vladimir Putin a visit

It is a big deal because it may have been a Romulan temporal agent.

From ‘hellhole’ UK to anti-Muslim rhetoric in Japan, Charlie Kirk took his message abroad

The US rightwing activist also addressed supporters in South Korea and visited Greenland with Donald Trump Jr

The wanker who got himself shot was openly and unrepentantly a fascist, from the sounds of things. No great loss.

The dumb conspiracy theories have gotten REALLY out of hand around here lately.

The reported shot isn't particularly crazy. Many militaries expect soldiers to be able to make hits at more than twice that distance using iron sights.

With a magnified optic zeroed for approximately that range, firing from a braced/rested/bi-poded position it would have been a fairly simple hit for anyone with a base level of rifle experience.

After speaking with my friend who is a trained sniper, he also confirmed that with the right equipment, this isn't a particularly difficult shot to a trained party.
With that said, I still wouldn't put it past Trump, but this is something that doesn't require military training. My own crappy shooting ability did bias me towards the difficulty of this shot.

Saw this posted on FB. Maybe if folks see it, they will start to form some of that new emotion, Empathy.

There's an op ed in USA today from a conservative whining about how she feels unsafe and targeted now. She can go hug herself.

High-powered rifle recovered from Utah campus where Kirk's killer was able to blend in

Federal, state and local authorities were working what they called “multiple active crime scenes."

Dude left his rifle behind and it's now been found. That's...interesting.

Ironbite-wonder if he also grabbed some Italian pastries.

They’re pushing exactly the same narrative in our media. Even though gun ownership isn’t a thing here, and the last victim of political violence in Britain wasn’t a right-winger.
