Today was a Political Assassination

So you won't denounce those murders either?

As long as I kill a liberal and it isn't in front of a crowd, it no big deal?

Charlie was just an entertainer that lied all the time and made living trolling liberals. Hortman did real work. 

Name  those lies? Should be easy. He lied all the time.

So you’re saying it’s not a leftist that killed him???? Please show your proof. 

Nothing would really surprise me in this case. The motivations of these assassins are often incoherent or more personal than political. 

I think there are a couple likely scenarios. 

1) A leftist - for obvious reasons.

2) A right-winger upset about Kirk's defense of Trump over Epstein.

3) White Supremacist - Kirk has long been a target of White Nationalists who view him as a fraud and race-traitor. You can read the basic background of the "Groyper War" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers

4) Some personal motivation that will seem inexplicable to us.

If you want to think more outside the box, we could be entering our Years of Lead. The murder of the Minnesota Dems would fit well into this framework too.

The conflict involved violent struggles between militant neo-fascist and far-left organizations, as well as the Italian state. Neo-fascist groups pursued a campaign of indiscriminate bombings and massacres known as the "strategy of tension", which sought to sow panic, blame the left, and provoke an authoritarian coup.

Far-left groups, most prominently the Red Brigades, carried out targeted assassinations, kidnappings, and bombings intended to destabilize the state and inspire a proletarian revolution.

This political violence emerged from a backdrop of widespread social unrest following the post-war economic boom, and disillusionment with the mainstream political parties, primarily the ruling Christian Democracy and the Italian Communist Party.

It definitely was to shut him up.  We don’t know by whom and to what end.

Most likely, I wouldn’t say definitely.

Could be a civilian, not an amateur.

Definitely a pro. If they do catch somebody I have a feeling it'd be a patsy.

Fine.  12 Angry Men.  It could be the ex-marine Lucy with a rifle on the building who was upset that Kirk made eye contact with her husband on April 1st, 2023 at 3:45 PM Pacific.
