ERIC S RAYMOND: I don’t know anything other than public information about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. However, a primer follows about patterns in past political assassinations. I will sketch what scenarios an intelligence analyst would come up with looking at this one. The first and most important rule in this kind of investigation is: when you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras. In political assassinations, as an ordinary murders, the correct suspect is usually the most obvious suspect. Airport-thriller-style convoluted plots and false-flag ops pulled off by unlikely people or organizations are rare in the real world. Accordingly, when you’re trying to solve a political assassination, the right question to ask is “Who said they wanted him dead?” Then, you infiltrate those organizations, or arrest a bunch of members, and do contact tracing. Usually you do in fact find your killer that way. It’s not very different from ordinary police work except for the stakes. There are broadly speaking three different kinds of assassin: the nutter, the zealot, and the pro. They are not difficult to distinguish once you got your hands on them. https://x.com/esrtweet/status/1966130285302657124 Read the whole thing.

SLATE BOLDLY GOES WHERE NORM MACDONALD HAS GONE BEFORE:

BACK TO THE CHARLIE KIRK THREAD.

Seems over on bluesky they're taking bets over who is next with Trump, Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro leading Joe Rogan and others

I will explain to you why the killing of Charlie Kirk pushes me to the right. He had the exact same views as my Trump supporting parents who I love. He had the exact same views as half my extended family. Just regular Boomer conservatism. And thousands of leftists celebrate him being shot in the neck. If they want that for Charlie Kirk, they want that for my parents and my other loved ones. And I won’t stand for it. Because I’m not a suicidal spiteful mutant with hatred for my own family, my own parents, my own civilization. I love the people who raised me and I’m loyal to them and I won’t ally myself with people who want to murder them just because they have old fashioned values that were completely common throughout 99% of modern history - a love of faith, family, church, nation.

For those visiting PPP tonight because of the news (including Simon) this sh*t barrage by Billstime/Homelander is what we put up with every night.

JD, homeloster doesn't have any idea about what was said in this thread, just ignore him.

I can't tell you how sad this makes me @Big Blitz More hatred. The Simsbury, Connecticut Democrat Party just posted this Believe them when they tell you who they are https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1965890339446923458

Back to the Charlie Kirk thread.

That's not what the post said Roundabout. Learn some comprehension before you knee-jerk response

B.B. it doesn't matter what the news of the day is. He MUST bump his favorite threads EVERY NIGHT no matter what. He is that lost. .

THE KEY WORD IS “CLAIM:” Because they are not interested in political engagement. They are only interested in violence to achieve their ends. Not sure where we go from here.

I refuse to clutter up the Charlie Kirk thread with leftist's squirrels But I have to point out how funny this is. Are you sure that you meant to say this Roundoff ? People to the left of a famous historical communist ARE communists .
