    The flag shirt is from the Disabled Veterans National Foundation btw (you can find version of it on ebay fairly readily). Wouldn't yet take that as a partisan or right-wing symbol yet either. It is true -- as Whisperzzzz's post suggests -- that he was reviled by certain sects of the far right at least as much as on the left. Even if he trafficked in Nazi beliefs because that's what helps you rise up the GOP ladder, he was still clearly a poseur when compared to real hardcore true believers. But I don't know if this guy in the photos looks like one of those folks either. Might just wind up being one of those mentally ill guys with real mixed up 'politics' (if any), mostly paranoid grabbag nonsense, like the second guy who tried to get Trump at the golf course last year.


    Indeed. A disabled veterans shirt at least more definitively points to this someone being ex-military.

    And yeah I think mentally ill is probably the most apt moniker at this point, regardless of political affiliation.


    Tbc I just meant that as an additional option, not a conclusion -- I'm fully in "wait and see" mode still.

    Anyways, here's some light cyberpunky reading for those interested in the motivations of a lot of seemingly arbitrary violence lately: https://en.wikipedia...4_(organization)

    I don't think that's worth much, at this time.

    It sucks that any of us even know who Charlie Kirk is.

    Is it worth noting that near simultaneous to when Kirk got shot in the middle of his racist, transphobic remarks defending mass shootings, there were also students being shot at a high school in Colorado?

    Is it worth noting that it was just a couple days ago that our child molester president Donald J. Trump's drawing (of an adolescent girl) and poem reminiscing on that child molestation with his long-time friend and co-child molester Jeffrey Epstein was made public by Epstein's estate? After months of him denying it existed. And that it was dismissed by every single person in the pro-child molestation Republican Party who is up in arms today about the mean words people say about them?

    MAGA Reps End Prayer for Charlie Kirk by Swearing at Dems

    A Republican congresswoman yelled and cursed at her Democratic colleagues on Thursday afternoon at the end of a silent prayer for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. [...] shouting "Y'all caused this!" at her colleagues [...] "You f---ing own this!" [... her shouting] drowned out Speaker Johnson fecklessly banging his gavel and saying, "The House will be in order! The House will be in order!"

    [... She tweeted] "Charlie was shot at an event where he was speaking out against trans shooting violence." [And later tweeted]: "EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU WHO CALLED US FASCISTS DID THIS.

    You were too busy doping up kids, cutting off their genitals, inciting violence by supporting orgs that exploit minorities, protecting criminals, and stirring hate."

    [...] Her fealty to the president earned her a parody on a South Park episode last month, in which her character was introduced after character Randy Marsh asked, "What's a sycophant?"

    Wow, if they're this mad about the death of one grown man, I can't imagine what they'd be saying and doing if the same thing happened to an actual kid. Or let's say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 kids in like maybe a school in a peaceful little town like Uvalde, TX. Or like 20 first graders in Newtown, CT. Imagine what they'd have to say to the survivors of such a shooting, like maybe Parkland, FL How they'd treat the kids who lived through it and were inspired to make change. --Just imagine the outpouring of emotion, earnest sympathy, and good will they would show the dead, the survivors, and the affected families in any such event like that. Imagine what Charlie Kirk himself would have said.

    Unfortunately, time just began today so we don't have records of any of that, but just imagine.

    On further reflection, maybe not so much "jolly good" as "the whole situation sucks but I'm very glad you and yours are safe and I'm sorry to hear that people you know where impacted, but again I'm glad they are safe".

    Hah, western north south west. Nice. Hadn't thought of it that way.
    Sometimes us from regional New South Wales refer to NSW as Newcastle Sydney Wollongong - the main metro areas that get all the attention from govt and the media, the rest of the state being "here be dragons" as far as they are concerned. :P

    If it's all the same to you, I'd like 2022 to be very low on surprises ...
    Except the lottery-winning kind. I'd like at least a big pleasant surprise there.
