Attempted?! I’m already wondering when and where the funeral is going to be so I know where to have my next dance celebration

I mean we don't know until we know, you know? I'm no doctor, but miracles happen and evil never dies

Give it an hour or two; Wikipedia mods work quick as info comes out.

Didn't know the shooter got away! That don't hurt my feelings a bit.

oh no, a saint with a gun is on the loose!
For legal reasons this is a joke.

I'm sure they'll find him in a Wendy's in Arizona with the rifle and manifesto or something

Assuming its not a "release the list" rightwinger who pulled the trigger, this is a potential reichstag event.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 353d
Shit, they don't have the guy in custody. They grabbed the wrong guy. Could be anyone.
Either I hope they just get away or they capture them and its some rightwing nutjob.

Won't matter who did it, they'll try to claim it was a Democrat, just like the event during The Dipshit's campaign

Hard to see how right winger could become anymore accepting of government violence against their fellow Americans, but, yeah, I hope everyone moving through right wing spaces is safe because they are going to want some kind of vengeance for this

It can definitely get a lot worse.

How? Are they gonna assassinate lawmakers? Commit hate crimes? Vote for a fascist and have goon squads go around and abduct people off the street without due process?

I understand your point, but I'm telling you: it can get worse. Right now they're only sampling those things. Dipping their toes. In fact, this whole "Occupy major cities with the National Guard" shit has been fishing for an incident between civilians and troops to justify putting the hammer down. They want to go further and intensify what they're already doing, but they need a reichstag event. That's what this potentially is, but they could fumble it. Hopefully they do fumble and Charlie Kirk's death just becomes a footnote.

Already locked due to an edit war over whether to include the recording in the infobox 🙄
