The officials also voiced that it would be difficult to bring federal charges against Robinson, as Robinson allegedly committed the crime in Utah and is a resident of the Beehive State. Furthermore, Kirk was an influencer activist, and not an elected official.

Exactly. Not an assassination. I hate that people keep calling it that.
It was a pyrotechnics accident, is all.
I’ve never heard being elected official as a criteria for the term, the dictionary definition of assassination is
“the premeditated act of killing someone suddenly or secretively, especially a prominent person.”
And there have been plenty of non-electoral assassinations, including those by (or of) mob figures, journalists, and many others.
Doesn’t the act of assassination require that the killer be an assassin? ie someone paid to kill people.
The killer in an assassination is by definition an assassin. An assassin is not always some paid mercenary killer (this is rarely the case).
John Wilkes Booth is an easy example. He was an actor.
As an actor John Wilkes Booth killed it in his last role.
It’s only an assassin when they are from the Hashshashin, otherwise it’s just sparkling murder.
It’s still an assassination. The definition is broad enough to include the killing of any public figure by surprise attack.
Looked like an assisted suicide to me.
Nah, he tripped and fell into a fast moving object. Absolute tragic happenstance. Could’ve happened to any asshole really.
Yeah, I hear people refer to John Lennon’s killing as an assassination. He wasn’t a politician, just a public figure.
He was more popular than Jesus, so that checks out. I highly doubt Kirk even had a security crew of note. Doesn’t have one now, though! 😂 😂 😂
When a Nazi gets killed it’s called ‘a good job’
Well, until they’re out of power you should ideally call it nothing at all and deny it ever happened. I walked past the USC campus this morning and saw kirk alive and well. I don’t know what all this hubub is about.
No no you have to say I’m just saying …
Fascinating. Flip the script for the utter disregard of the truth.
If you see someone stealing bread–no you didn’t.
If you see a dead Nazi–no you didn’t and in fact you met him in public later that evening.
Oh boy do I need glasses.
Read the title as DOJA CAT Tie Suspected…

Finally a headline that tells the truth.
Can they even make the narrative stick that it was a 30-06? People need to be looking into that more. A 30-06 is a gun meant to take down an Elk or a Grizzly Bear. I don’t think the video we saw lines up with the 30-06 narrative.
This sounds just as ridiculous as “Accountants can’t make $2 + $2 = $1 trillion like MAGA wants.”
Charlie Kirk is STILL ALIVE! These are Just Crisis ACTORS! DONT let these CriSIs Actors STEAL your freedoms!
Grok, is that you?
They hadn’t programmed grok to lie. It told the truth.
Alex Jones can swallow a bunch of draino.
Have you seen what he looks like? Jones chugs that shit like I chug gamersupps.
Yeah the assassination was just a psyops.
🙄
Dear MAGAts, you killed Charlie Kirk.
I love how any time someone clearly has ties to the right-wing they’re a “troubled individual.”
I haven’t encountered many right-wingers who weren’t “troubled individuals”.
Or at least individuals with very troubling opinions and beliefs.
That they keep trying instead of finding the relationship that do exist says everything you need to know to oppose everything they do.
Charlie could have been run over by a monster truck with TRUMP painted on the side with a fuck your feelings flag and the driver could have worn a maga hat and cut off sleeves shirt and the right would still try to connect it to LGBTQ+.
An tee fuh
Literally the first thing they said before anyone even figured out where the shot came from.
ZOMG, can we pull The Daily Beast off the air for misleading the American people?
“Right-wing groups have been responsible for over ten times more terror attacks than left-wing groups since 2002, according to a study conducted by the ADL. The Justice Department recently found similar numbers in its own study. It recently scrubbed that study from its website.”
Lol.
I thought they just skipped that step and hoped nobody noticed?
