My side? I’m not sure what you’re fantasizing “my side” to be but it isn’t political violence and I view transsexualism the same I view anyone’s gender identity or sexual persuasion incuding LGBTQ and straight people.

I don’t care.

Like I said in the post Baldy replied to, “likely isn’t trans”.
IOW’s I don’t know and even if he were trans or one of his three roommates is, that still wouldn’t change my views. I’ll sit back and wait for some trustworthy reporting and see. It’s all still unconfirmed.

Speaking of which…




The Left. Team Left.
He may be. He may have also been a Groyper, driven by right wing extremism. Still waiting for verifiable evidence. You should try doing the same.

We have verifiable evidence in a statement by his relatives to police. Right before the murder he told a family member that Kirk was going to be a UVU and that he hated Kirk's ideology because he was "spreading hate". That is something a Groyper would definitely NOT say.

WASHINGTON — Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.

That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman.

According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.”
Hey! Look! The same Post story that relies on unsubstantiated and questionable reporting. :lol:

Hint: this was already covered above.
But you frequently and conveniently forget things.

So I guess the anti fascist and transgender ideology inscribed on the shell casings, on the rifle, and posted online, aren‘t enough for you. :roll:

And WTF is ‘groyper‘ :?

Fascist speech is not a justification for murder but we shouldn’t we all be anti-fascist?

Groypers are the followers of a neo-Nazi who Trump had dinner with awhile ago.

True. But his family of Trump supporters ain’t exactly a solid source.

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin's transgender roommate 'hates conservatives and Christians,' relative says
Family member says individual became 'radicalized' and influenced Tyler Robinson's politics over past year

The 22-year-old, who has not been charged and whose name has not yet been released by authorities, was in a romantic relationship with suspect Tyler Robinson, also 22, according to the relative. She said he is in the process of transitioning from male to female.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital her relative began to act differently when he turned 18 and said that he developed a hatred of Christians and conservatives.

"He hates conservatives and Christians," the relative said. "He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized."

"He has obviously gotten progressively worse the last year or two," the relative said, adding that he's "always very angry."

The relative suspects Robinson's politics were influenced by his partner in the year they have been dating.

"I think Tyler got a whole lot worse in the year they have been dating. They are big [video] gamers, and obviously they have that group that influences them as well as others. But my gut tells me [the roommate] did more of the influencing," the relative said….

People on the left absolutely refuse to believe that their side is capable of abject political violence, everything that happens when its a leftist group is always from "the oppressed" and a "fight for freedom that should be applauded and celebrated" look at anything Gaza/Palestine related in the last 30 years. (October 7th is a celebrated date now, wait and see how many people you see talking about it in a few weeks). But if a political figure is assassinated, they think its a conservative individual because they "fear change".

Look at all the hand wringing about this Tyler guy. He's white and lives with his parents who vote Republican, "THAT MEANS HE'S A REPUBLICAN TOO!!!!"

There's so much irony in that statement along, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Well “fighting for freedoms” SHOULD be applauded and “fear (of) change” is a long standing conservative position. Change typically benefits the oppressed, not established power.

The left has its warts but so does the right in jumping to conclusions. Both sides are pushing a narrative of course. Kirk’s sainthood is a big part of that. The right needs his history to be pure and righteous.

And, the left needs his history to be evil and despicable. The worst thing that could happen for the left (and is already happening) is to have people see more of Charlie's previous speeches and events where he's talking to other leftists who challenge him and see him making pretty good points. The politicial spectrum has became so warped that for it to continue to exist in its current state is to have every single person 1000% committed to the message no matter what.

This is why you have people claiming insane things that EVERY republican is a violent, hateful, corporatist, Trump supporter. And that EVERY democrat is a grooming, PDF file supporting, welfare leech.

Because when people start asking questions, that's when people open their eyes.

I posted this for the irony of Trailer Park Barbie, a MAQA yahoo, complaining about a prisoner's accommodations:
- How do Santos' accommodations compare to those of an illegal immigrant who has been detained by ICE?
- How would marge respond to criticism of the accommodations of those illegal immigrants?

Santos is a convicted felon. Some of the those illegal immigrants are guilty of no more than civil offenses, not actual crimes. Should someone whose only offense is civil be held in worse conditions than a convicted felon?
