Charlie Kirk shot at an event in Utah

[Vermilion]

Didn’t see that she had walked that one back. Good that she isn’t going down that road.

I wouldn’t call that misspeaking though, maybe speaking with emotion would be a more fair description on why she’s pivoting.

I believe it was an emotional response for sure.
Harmeet Dhillon immediately jumped in to clarify as soon as she said it too.

“We are not prosecuting people for nasty speech alone — but true incitement to violence, or hate-motivated attacks, are illegal and will be treated as such by this DOJ!”

Harmeet is an especially fine lawyer with a rock solid moral compass.

Being born and raised in LA I can agree.
What should not go unnoticed is the fact that Republican voters weren’t the ones doing the looting and burning.

If you're from LA -- then you know California Republicans -- are not quite the same as RW Republicans.

California Republicans tend to be socially Liberal -- fiscal Conservative.

They aren't normally extreme Fundamentalists -- and don't make a big deal about guns.

Looting and burning is opportunistic -- not political -- I'm against destruction of other people's property and livelihood.

[Vermilion]

From what I recall reading from various different news sources, when the daytime protesters left, some unidentified people came after them and did the looting and burning.

They were looting in broad daylight.
Protesting was the least of the activities going on.

I don't recall reading that, can you post a news source?

That used to be the case.
Now it’s your everyday lefty who are potential perpetrators of violence.
You can tell by the way this Charlie murder behavior is unfolding.
We’ve got doctors, lawyers, professors, teachers and every known professional openly celebrating a premeditated murder again (Mangione).
They are jeopardizing their careers because seriously callous behavior, normally not seen by the masses publicly.

That is beyond politics and human nature and into mental illness in many of the cases, I would say. 
Brainwashing goes many ways and I think the COVID op, maybe the injections also, did a lot a weird things to peoples brains......

Study Concerning Modern Assassination Culture

I'll just leave this for your casual perusing. It shows a direct correlation between nihilist rhetoric programming and political violence.

California Republicans tend to be socially Liberal -- fiscal Conservative.

So they are really Libertarians but want to cling to the Republican label so they call themselves Republican.

Study Concerning Modern Assassination Culture

I'll just leave this for your casual perusing. It shows a direct correlation between nihilist rhetoric programming political violence.

I first fact-checked their bias, and they came up as slightly centre-right/conservative and tend to use words to sway people more over to the right, but supposedly they have a high accuracy of being factual. That doesn't mean they are wholly factual about everything if they are somewhat right leaning.

From your source:

"We hypothesize that support for violence is part of a broader assassination culture,
underpinned by psychological and ideological factors.

● Online Amplification of Radical Ideation: Our analysis supports the belief that BlueSky plays
a significant and predictive role in amplifying radical ideation.

○ Users are increasingly associating the memeification of Luigi Mangione with calls for
political violence against Musk, Trump, and others, reflecting the growing
cyber-social presence of assassination culture."

-----------

Now while they hypothesize and conduct surveys, actual psychologists are working with these people who murder to ascertain the facts for each separate case.

I'll wait to see what the psychologists' reports about this murderer and not paint everyone with the same brush.

And they make no mention that BlueSky warned every user on their platform that they would be permanently banned if they didn't stop with their unwelcome rhetoric.

So they are really Libertarians but want to cling to the Republican label so they call themselves Republican.

What gives you the right to define them?

I’ll tell you from being in the middle of it, in a time when the internet and cellphones weren’t really a thing, the coverage from the live news vans and helicopters on TV was a spectacle you wouldn’t forget.
Here’s a little 2 minute taste…

Notice the gunfights in broad daylight.
