Has this come out yet? I haven't seen anything on this.

Well yeah, I agree the rhetoric is the real danger. Whether someone claims the far-right, far-left, or no group at all, violent language can still push lone actors to act. That’s why I think it’s more important to call out and reduce the toxic messaging—no matter which side it comes from—than to argue over labels like ‘Antifa. It's meaningless.

An individual’s motive can overlap with a term without signifying membership. Unless there's credible evidence that he engaged with Antifa groups online or in person (which could still come out, then obviously I'd agree), it's more precise to describe him as an individual who carried out a violent act and happened to use anti-fascist rhetoric - not as a member of Antifa.

From the details coming out about the family, he grew up in a deeply republican family, who loved guns (father was law enforcement 20+ years), religious, educated. He was smart (saw a pic he was a 4.0 student), went to college, probably started to have experiences and conversations that challenged his ultra conservative home he grew up in. He probably began to differ from his family's beliefs which further confused him. He then sees a character like Kirk as someone who was further promoting said topics he doesnt agree with. Then he acts, horribly, and commits an atrocity he seems fit. It doesnt mean he's ANTIFA or whatever. He was a crazy person that we all can agree was just evil. Not part of some "movement".

Totally normal behavior

"with respect and kindness" give me a break....🙄

Also whoever this account is -is a nobody. It’s the same as the “libs of TikTok” or whatever the x account is. They cheer about anything that happens to dems too. Should I share those?

This is a Baylor track and field coach with 1k x followers- he is a nobody. A nobody that deserves to be outed and fired, which he already has.

And he was fired - as he should have been. You have been non stop posting the most obscure void tweets from x as if everyone on the left agrees with this. You’re just posting and raising temps to prove your point of view

The Steven knit dude or whatever, yeah, that’s horrible. And he should be lambasted and removed from his position immediately. That’s horrible. Yeah and Marjorie Taylor green posted a photo with a sniper rifle after the Minnesota congresspeople were killed. But that’s ok? Tell me what’s ok?

Nothing pritzker said in that video is blaming kirk but you guys are nutso’s that wanna spin it that way

What?

You literally have just posted the most insane tweets you can find from no name crazy leftists on x. I can do the same after a mass tragedy to any side of the spectrum. You are highlighting like .002% of democrats and declaring this as “look at how riled up and bad the left are”. You are so fake and finding the worst of the worst to prove your point. It’s what you love to do. 99% of all people left or right agree how this is horrible. But it’s YOU who wants to pretend it’s ALL democrats that think this way. YOU are dangerous.

You need serious help if you read these tweets from far extremist ppl and can’t decipher/ think for yourself that this is not true.

Yeah just the left. The way he always has been - divisive. Way to be a leader and unifier.

You are so anti democrat it’s alarming

So missing the point

With good reason

I’m out at a show this evening but I can pm you later with some if you care. But I’m guessing you don’t.

He said that if he saw a black pilot he would question if the guy was qualified...he was not "just having conversations" he was incredibly racist, sexist, and the center of a lot of divisiveness in our country. Nobody should ever face this kind of despicable act - but I am not going to just pretend he was "just having conversations" with the subjects he stood on.

Didnt he also refuse to call Gov Walz after this? He said "“I’m not calling him. Why would I call him? I could call and say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’ Uh, the guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess. I could be nice and call, but why waste time?” The simple thing to do would be to ease tensions here and offer support - and he decided to be divisive and do the opposite.

Political rhetoric has needed to cool down for 10+ years, and sadly will only get worse imo. It's incredibly frustrating and sickening that someone would resort to this in any circumstance. I do not agree with Kirk on most of his stances, and he is incredibly divisive. He's said some outrageous things that of course rampt up the crazies...shouldn't come to anything like this ever, but we're living in a horrible political environment. I'm not sure how it gets better but I'm praying.

ok
