I figured we’d need a centralized location to discuss this… It was happening over like 3 threads.

Holy shit, that’s fucking unhinged. He cared more about a right wing influencer’s death than comforting his own kid… :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

Not at all.

One of the posts that apparently got her fired and banned from Bluesky:

That’s just good writing. I hope she finds a great deal of success in her next endeavor.

I mean . . . that’s kind of on the authorities if they didn’t secure the crime scene. Assuming that’s an accurate description of what’s happening there, which is a big assumption.

Poe’s law applies here IMHO. I have no idea if this is serious or satire.

I know it’s not the important part, but assuming these pics are the correct person I’m curious when and where these were taken.

The news is saying that the weapon recovered was a bolt-action rifle, and found in a wooded area, i.e. not left on the rooftop. He’s obviously not hiding a rifle here (clothing isn’t baggy, bent waist), and I presume he fled the rooftop with the rifle.

So if these images were taken after the shooting, have they connected campus footage with somewhere offsite afterwards?

If the images were from before, and he stashed the rifle on the rooftop in advance, then they’ve connected images taken before.

Oh, that’s the on-line Nazi with the heavy eyebrows.
There’s so many of them!

Right? I was trying to remember which one is in that famous gif of a Nazi getting punched.

That’s Richard Spencer, who pretty much went into hiding.

One day they will call this site a coven of queer commie snakes, full of antifas and foreigner bad people.

Banned for that? That seems like an obvious observation.

Frank Conniff said virtually the same thing and he hasn’t been banned.

Look, I won’t pretend to speak for other people, so I can’t say what others did or did not do. I can say that Bluesky didn’t “celebrate” anything because it can’t. It’s a website with several million users, they’re not a collective and Bluesky didn’t do any damn thing because it’s not a living thing.

As for me, I did post some replies which clearly indicate that I in no way mourn the death of this horrible person. I suggested that any eulogy should be sure to include his infamous words about some shootings being worth it and that the quote should be on his tombstone. I questioned the claim that Kirk “…had the Heart of the Youth [sic] …” except as he might have been keeping it locked in his basement. I also acknowledged that every dead Nazi is an improvement to the world.

Celebrate? I can’t actually claim to have been seeing anyone celebrate, although many people were pointing out the irony.

So, no, not really, although I am glad this particular person is dead and I’m not ashamed of that. He was certainly very happy to celebrate the deaths of people like myself and others and his death was very much in line with statements he made. I regard empathy as a good thing, but I will save mine for people that deserve it.

Oh FFS that’s right. A third one!

Yet liberals/Dems who haven’t burst into tears at the loss of St. Charlie are supposedly the REAL problem in this country. :enraged_face:
