I guess when you guys bunch libertarians with white supremacists to get stats you like, might as well throw antifa in the far right group like nobody is paying attention

Anti Fascists are often against all government. This isn't news.

I mean the arrow things are video game based. The police report specifically talks about him being on some of those social media channels. 

 

None of that means he wasn't a leftist in the end. But what it does mean is if we are looking at how people get radicalized- we should also be looking at the wild west nature of the Internet.

You're saying the Halloween costume of the kid is fake?

I'm saying using a picture from 9 years ago, when the kid was still shorter than you, as proof of anything is metal helmet stupid.

The metal helmet Halloween costume is a perfect example of that.

I never said you would and I would never argue that all of the anti-government people are the same. I don't paint with a wide brush like some of the people here who are just as broken by politics as this kid was by whatever broke him. 

The dopey antifas in society now view themselves as the counter balance to the Proud Boys- who are also horrible people. As with a lot of things- these current people take a real thing and then alter it to fit their POV...

Also, showing up at a rally isn't the barometer of agreement. I highly doubt a plurality, or even outright majority of antifas would say they support Biden or Harris.

He’s a registered Republican & donated (small amounts) to the Trump campaign (2020).

You think he just forgot to switch party?

That is most likely the one who donated money to Trump's campaign. I highly doubt a 17 year old was spending 225 dollars on a presidential campaign

Refresh my memory.  You did acknowledge that Vance Boelter was a Republican voter, correct?

I acknowledge that the minnesota reformer reported that the anonymous workers at DFL told them he didnt vote in their primary and the mary jane party said he didnt vote in theirs. (Both violating state law anonymously.)

Is there a better source out there that shows his party affiliation? 

But lets say we give that one to you. Lets say we trust "the reformer" a super right wing publication. 

Do you acknowledge he killed a democrat that was the only Democrat in the House to vote for a 2025 budget deal that repealed health coverage for undocumented adults, including those from Africa, despite having previously supported it and that Bolter was very devoted to helping africans?

Admittedly a super right wing position in MN of course. You know those MN GOPers always bring in the africans. 

Also do you admit he had no kings flyers again a super right wing position?

Also do you admit that these events happened after the 2024 primary making them more recent data points? 

Just in the interest of free and fair discussion of course, which is why I assume you brought this up.

The dude's name is unfortunate because there is a Tyler Robinson Foundation out there that was started by Imagine Dragons that helps to raise money to fight pediatric cancer.

 

Of course there are a bunch of people leaving Google reviews with Charlie Kirk eulogies, criticizing the foundation for raising a killer, and other hateful messages......

If he was extreme right wing it's a shame he ruined his life like this, and even more of a shame he took someone else's life, over this stuff. He should've done like extreme right winger Horseman does here- make up 8 different names to shitpost on a fantasy football message board in between shifts at Arby's and whoring out his make believe wife. 

His life would still be awful, but everyone would be alive and/or not facing jail time.

Utah Governor Says Social Media Is “A Cancer On Society Right Now” As He Laments Spread Of Video Of Charlie Kirk Killing

https://deadline.com/2025/09/utah-governor-charlie-kirk-social-media-cancer-1236530008/

Utah Governor Spencer Cox called social media “a cancer on society right now,” as he lamented the proliferation of graphic videos of Charlie Kirk‘s assassination.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Cox said, “If you look at true political assassinations in this country, of someone of this stature, this feels a lot like the late 60s. And having one so gruesomely displayed on camera in all of our hands and in all of our pockets. We are not wired as human beings, biologically. Historically, we have not evolved in a way that we are capable of processing those types of violent imagery.”

He also cited a video of the stabbing of a woman, a refugee from Ukraine, on Charlotte, NC public transit.

“This is not good for us. It is not good to consume. Social media is a cancer on our society right now, and I would encourage people to log off, turn off, touch grass, hug a family member,” Cox said. “Go out and do good in your community. That is happening, and it is happening organically right now.”

Videos of the killing were prevalent on social media platforms in the immediate aftermath of Kirk’s killing, showing the moment when he was struck by a bullet to the neck. The videos came from eyewitnesses who were present at Kirk’s appearance at Utah Valley University, where he was addressing thousands in the first stop of a college tour.

Broadcast and cable networks like CNN did show some of the footage, but stopped the images and ran only audio, with the sounds of those in the crowd screaming.

Kirk, 31, was among the most prominent influencers on the right, who capitalized on social media to reach and organize for the organization he co-founded, Turning Point USA, with millions of followers.

A suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody.

Spokespersons for Google/YouTube, TikTok and X did not immediate respond to requests for comment. A Meta spokesperson said that they are applying a warning label to footage of the shooting and restricting the videos to those 18 and older. They also are removing content that “glorifies or supports the incident or the perpetrator,” the spokesperson said.

Cox also called for restraint in reaction to Kirk’s assassination, noting that residents of Utah did not riot or loot or engage in violence, and instead held vigils and said prayers.

“We can return violence with violence. We can return hate with hate,” Cox said. “And that’s the problem with political violence. It metastasizes, because we can always point the figure at the other side. At some point we have to find an offramp, or it’s going to get much, much worse.”

“History will dictate that this is a turning point for our country,” he said.

----------------------------

Now?  Where has he been for the past 15 years or so?

[SaintsInDome2006 470]

LOL, what a trip. I’ve enjoyed the discussions & information sharing, left & right. As Gov. Cox said, let’s go touch some grass. Happy Weekend everyone. Cheers.
