9 right wingers shoot at people; one left-winger shoots at somebody. Guy on TV (CBS) says "political violence is rising among all areas, right and left."

Heard from a talking head, 75% comes front RWNJ's, 4% from LWNJ's and 21% from other .

Don't know if it's verifiable but doesn't seem too far off.

Here in the US each decade since at least the 1970s most domestic terror attacks have been perpetrated by White, male, often Christian, cons. My info is dated by a couple of years because I stopped compiling, but the fundamentals haven't changed.

MAGA will never have the stones to admit it, though.

Seen elsewhere: Having Charlie Kirk killed is a really extreme way for Trump to distract from the Epstein Files.

Don't know about having him killed, but the distraction part is true.

Y'all are some sick bitches.

Several TV "experts" are griefing the shooter for hitting the neck rather than the head. They may be correct, but c'mon, the shooter accomplished her/his mission with a single shot, the result was spectacularly gruesome, and s/he may have gotten away with it. They're reaching for minutiae in order to feel superior.

Aside: It's bugged me for years that Charlie ruined a great fictional surname.

Martina! Good on you.

None of us really know, but they're saying that missing the head proves that he isn't an expert sniper. Could be, but I'm pretty certain that a .30 caliber round to the neck from 175 yards is also nearly 100% fatal.

I don't really care to re-watch the video to see if he leans forward or something such when he was shot.

WTF is the matter with her?

Language of a true statesman.

Not really. If the shooter was aiming for the head s/he just missed.

Dementia Don is going to give Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S. We've devolved to the point where the only qualification is hyper-partisan adoration of the Cult's Dear Leader.

16-year-old Colorado school shooter was 'radicalized' by 'extremist network': Sheriff

But they're not saying what kind of 'extremist network' yet.
