Caught because he told someone and they snitched, bummer. Please be mindful that he is still only an alleged killer, and has not yet been put on trial for his charges. Innocent until proven guilty.

    apparently his republican dad saw the circulating photos and asked his son to turn himself in. I doubt it had anything to do with the $100k reward

    I like to think if I shot a right wing extremist troll, my dad would help me lay low instead of turning me in. But my dad is an aging hippy, not a maga hat worm brain.

    I would think the dad doesn't really give a toss about politics and just didn't want to turn on the news and see his son to die in a police shootout.

    The father then called a youth pastor, who is also a U.S. Marshals task force officer. The officer advised the father to have Robinson stay in place. This information was then conveyed to the FBI.

    Priests are mandated report crimes outside of confession.

    So what? Priests and pastors are different things.

    I'm also guessing "pastor" doesn't mean "seminary trained, regular background checks, psychologically evaluated, tested for competence, and examined by others to discern call in a denomination that requires pastors act like mandatory reporters" but instead means "Bubba says the Bible good and hates the right folks."

    does that footage have his face in it? or even show what he was wearing very well? Does the person in the footage have 6 fingers?

    We've already seen the playbook, though. His race only matters if he's not white. His sexuality only matters if it's not heterosexual. His gender only matters if he's trans. His religion only matters if it's not Christian. His politics only matter if he's not Republican. Source: Last summer's attempted assassination attempt against Trump.

    But honestly, none of that matters. Most people did not reason themselves into their opinion on this matter (minds were made up before there was any evidence or credible suspect at all), and most of the time you cannot reason people out of an opinion if they did not reason themselves into it. Which sucks. But also, this applies to us all, so hopefully most of us are keeping that in mind.

    Bruh.

    Okay even assuming christianity is even real, why can't a black person "find jesus"? Pretty sure racism isn't part of scripture...

    Oh yea that's right, they are just cosplaying as christians, not real christians.

    Ironically, they would look better if they just maintained the "death penalty" stance and omit the "jesus" bullshit. At least then it wouldn't be racist.

    No true christian. Lmao. Let's not excuse people based on fallacy.

    Some people are good. Some people are christian. This doesn't add up to 'good people are christian'. Most christians are not good people. Most people aren't good people, ffs.

    It's like saying no real human would commit/condone genocide, yet here we are in a world full of genocides.

    Now watch as the narrative becomes that he turned into a hateful and dangerous leftist by being indoctrinated at university, even though he comes from a good, god loving family.

    Already there on right wing discussion sites

    (Thread has 250 pages and is a continuation of the initial 500 page thread)

    There is some leftist dissent but it is overwhelmingly right wingers positing the narrative that you propose (plus discord/transgender friends/never trump republicans)

    They are so fucking predictable, it's actually infuriating. We are losing to this FFS.

    "He is ANTIFA" tells me so much about the person posting. They think that kid is an immortal being who hasn't aged since he lived in 1930s Germany.

    I always find it amusing that they hate Antifa, but can't connect the dots to realize that makes them the fascists.

    Right now it's "I'm waiting for all the facts", which is very similar to "I need more context" comments during videos of police brutality. It's denial framed as reservation.

    That's exactly how they're framing it now.

    White kid from conservative family shoots conservative personality.

    • conservatives threaten black schools
    • a wave of prominent conservatives talking about WAR WERE DECLARED!!
    • random conservatives walking around on the anniversary of 9/11 making threats against "the Democrats" while looking at innocent people
    • conservative lizards insinuating "the left's reaction" is somehow a nefarious development a couple months after they made fun of a governor being assassinated, which was preceded by conservatives making fun of the attack on Pelosi.

    These fucks are violent and unhinged.

    To be fair, CNN reports:

    Robinson at the [family] dinner said “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” according to the relative’s account related by [Utah Governor Spencer] Cox.
