    Retribution against who? We don’t know who did it or if they were associated with any group.

      The ‘who’ was decided long before Kirk was shot. Trump has been praying for this day. He doesn’t give a shit about who shot Kirk. Trump can tell his cultists anything and they will believe it. Shit, Trump could have shot Kirk himself, on camera, and his imbecile army would believe it was the ghost of Jimmy Carter if Trump said so. People are saying that this is the spark that will touch off Trump’s retribution. Bitches, his retribution was already well underway.

        Yep.

        The fbi fuck didn’t make a “mistake”.

        This was planned

        to justify the violence they want to do

        against the “left” aka anyone who doesn’t go along with the nazi “maga” project 25 agenda.

        This is actually unironically true, and it’s unbelievably sad.

      I’m pretty sure you know who: whoever they’re scapegoating this month, which is probably us.

      But the real reason they want a civil war is that they think they have the upper hand and can establish minority rule.

        That’s an impressive amount of exactly-right squeezed into very few words.

        They do have the upper hand. They have the military, the supreme court, the congress and the executive. The 2024 election was literally the last chance to stop what’s here and what’s to come.

      Headline: Ammo Found In Charlie Kirk Assassination Engraved With Pro-Trans, Anti-Fascist Ideology

        My understanding is that info is bogus. Notice it comes from the WSJ.

          Multiple outlets are reporting the same information though.

            All of the ones I can find point back to the WSJ as the source. Are there any that have a different source saying that?

              Here’s more, but you can just google the keywords “charlie kirk shooter trans” and find more. It’s not fully confirmed by every agency yet, I’ve just seen it reported by multiple sources is all.

                Neither of those articles mention the word “trans” at all. It looks more likely that that part’s BS.

                  Hilarious, this has now been proven false, the FBI is now about to contact the furry groups that were coordinating on discord. You should see the chat logs, multiple people knew about it about to happen and were cheering, but the truth will all come to light soon enough.

                  Screenshots obtained by The New York Times paint a picture of zero remorse, just meme-fueled mockery as authorities scrambled in a manhunt. “Tyler killed Charlie!!!” one user tagged him hours after the shot; Robinson fired back, “My doppelganger’s trying to get me in trouble.” When someone quipped about snagging the FBI’s $100,000 reward, he shot back, “Only if I get a cut.” And in a sick twist, he joked about ditching a “manifesto and exact copy rifle” lying around— all while monitoring news coverage and mocking the engravings on his ammo that screamed ANTIFA ideology.

                  This is not a groyper, but again, the truth will continue to come to light. The FBI already found the copy rifle from other sources I’ve seen, but they have everything they need to prosecute.

        I don’t think it’s a false flag operation. But this makes it sound like a false flag operation
