    White kid from conservative family shoots conservative personality.

    • conservatives threaten black schools
    • a wave of prominent conservatives talking about WAR WERE DECLARED!!
    • random conservatives walking around on the anniversary of 9/11 making threats against “the Democrats” while looking at innocent people
    • conservative lizards insinuating “the left’s reaction” is somehow a nefarious development a couple months after they made fun of a governor being assassinated, which was preceded by conservatives making fun of the attack on Pelosi.

    These fucks are violent and unhinged.

    We’ve already seen the playbook, though. His race only matters if he’s not white. His sexuality only matters if it’s not heterosexual. His gender only matters if he’s trans. His religion only matters if it’s not Christian. His politics only matter if he’s not Republican. Source: Last summer’s attempted assassination attempt against Trump.

    But honestly, none of that matters. Most people did not reason themselves into their opinion on this matter (minds were made up before there was any evidence or credible suspect at all), and most of the time you cannot reason people out of an opinion if they did not reason themselves into it. Which sucks. But also, this applies to us all, so hopefully most of us are keeping that in mind.

    I think it’s interesting to see the news media go back to naming and focusing on shooters. When big school shootings began to happen they talked all about the shooters and what could have led them to do what they did. That accidentally became a great incentive for copycats because many were outcasts wanting similar infamy and their stories to be told.

    Then over the years most news media tried to just focus on the victims and communities impacted. Shootings still happen, but how often do you hear the shooter named on the news? Even for major events like the trump assassination attempts they didn’t really focus a lot on who the shooters were.

    It seems that recent shooters are getting a lot more attention again. All it takes is to assassinate someone and get away just long enough to force them to name your and show your face, messages you left on the scene etc. This runs the risk of starting a whole new copycat trend and I think we’re seeing that starting here

        Yeah, students didn’t here and generally don’t do anything to justifiably put themselves in the crosshairs. Politicians, on the other hand, make enemies like it’s their job. I prefer no violence. I prefer direct to indirect consequences. Usually we can’t get everything we want.

      I was sure it was you two at the time but didn’t want to intrude by paddling over to say hello. It was at that one spot, you know the place, name escapes me but it’s where I definitely saw you both.

        Funny thing. I was in a helicopter at that exact place and time looking down at all three of you. From up there, I could see all the way across you know, towards the great uh those things. It was amazing and very memorable, for the exact time and exact day the alibi was required

          I just happened to be operating a government spy satellite watching your helicopter, as one does, while you were watching the three of them! I can confirm that all four of these people were at the specified place at the specified time doing the specified activities.

    That will probably set them off even more. I can already here the exclamations about how the radical left is brainwashing good, young, Christian men into doing their dirty work.

    Nice of these MAGA parents to train super competent Antifa super soldiers lol. He probably realized how brainwashed his family was. It’s got to be super crazy and scary for a kid to start critically thinking and realize you’re family is in some kind of brainwashed maga trance

    This doesn’t seem like a very Starmer thing to say, or is the joke here that the Parody_PM account is saying things our PM might say if he were a sane man who understood humour, and didn’t get off on genocide and fascism?
