"From where does all this hatred, violence, and moral vacuity arise?"

"Why did the shooter inscribe his bullets with 'anti-fascist' messaging, cruel taunts, and trans jargon?"

Asks Victor Davis Hanson, in "Was the Current Madness Birthed in the University? America’s descent into violence and moral chaos—from Kirk’s assassination to suppressed crime truths—traces back to the toxic ideologies nurtured in universities" (American Greatness).
Is the hatred caused by the media... Or is the promulgator the Democratic Party and the Left... Or, finally, is the culprit for the madness found ultimately in the elite university?... Why, in the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, are so many teachers, professors, and college-graduate bureaucrats so eager to gloat over and cheer his death?... Hundreds of thousands of students emerge from campuses not just indoctrinated with contempt for the Western tradition and American exceptionalism, and not just often thousands of dollars in debt from inflated tuition, but also poorly educated by the standards that once defined education. The working classes and high school graduates, supposedly the losers of our society, are not those who are dividing the country. They are not often advocating violence or trying to use any means necessary to overturn the established order. But so often the products of the modern university are doing just that....

Interesting... but Charlie Kirk's assassin dropped out of college after one semester. He'd been a promising student and won a scholarship to study engineering, yet he veered off that path quickly and into an electrical apprenticeship program. Wouldn't that put him in with the "working classes and high school graduates" —  "supposedly the losers of our society" who "are not those who are dividing the country"? Perhaps the assassin had contempt for the very "teachers, professors, and college-graduate bureaucrats" who have been "so eager to gloat over and cheer" his action. We don't know, do we?

The assassin is contemptible — a murderer. But whether his motive aligns with the ideology of the "teachers, professors, and college-graduate bureaucrats" who cheer and gloat, they are contemptible — quite independently. They need to stand in the light and take criticism for the ideas they've taught and enforced.

Gutfeld is freaking the fuck out on The Five right now, dealing with Jessica Tarlov. He is swearing more than I just did, but he's on live basic cable. Inter alia, he's saying this story is not going to go away, the Dem whataboutism is bullshit, and the MSM is dead to him. CC, JSM

I understand the need for Tarlov on the show. Someone has to be the heel in network TV formats.

She is just too much like an NPC. Some randomly generated bot that runs around until you defeat it and collect loot.

I don't really seeing The Five lasting much longer as a show unless it comes up with something new. I am not really sure what is propping up network TV right now.

Is it deluded to aspire to deeper kind of thinking? Maybe, just maybe, reality as it unfolds doesn’t fit neatly into a partisan script.
Maybe just maybe it’s lazy and foolish to jam major world events into neat little tribal boxes.
Maybe the lone killer had a specific set of motives that shouldn’t be used as a “sharpen the knives and kill all liberals”
Civil war narrative?
Maybe.

"JUST IN: The FBI is investigating at least seven social media accounts that appeared to hint at Charlie Kirk’s assassination before it happened, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

Some posts mentioned the exact date — Sept. 10 — weeks in advance, and others celebrated the killing afterward.

Several accounts appear tied to transgender individuals, with at least one linked to the suspect’s alleged roommate and partner.

Examples include: “September 10th will be a very interesting day,” “We fucking did it,” and “Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow — I hope someone evaporates him.”

The posts were deleted shortly after Kirk’s death."

This needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later.

Tyler Robinson had help.

I knew this 30 minutes after hearing the most basic details of the assassination.

No one wants to kill you - snowflake. - but your corruption, lies and death machine - are going to stop and be stopped.

Howard (12:06): “Instead he grew up in idyllic small town conditions with a loving middle class Christian family.” Howard points out that people like this are immune from leftist indoctrination. Or is he pointing out that even people like this are NOT immune to leftist indoctrination? Either way, he gets the AOC award for critical thinking.

Howard's dredging up the groyper gambit. You know, Charley Kirk wasn't tough enough on some issue. So Tyler killed him.

Achillies, that’s not what I said, and I’m reasonably sure you know it. I’m pointing out that right wing political leaders and media figures have a track record of glorifying violence after the fact. That’s a separate issue from Kirk’s murder, but it’s relevant if we care about the climate we’re all living in. Your one trick pony of calling me dishonest is easier than engaging that point — but it doesn’t make the point go away.

I am pointing you cannot say the left was wrong to call Charlie Kirk a Racist and a Fascist and that this led to a leftist writing "Hey fascist, catch" on the bullet casing that he shot him with.

We note that you approve of all of the people who are cheering the death of Charlie Kirk and refuse to denounce the hundreds of thousands of complete shitheads that happen to be in your party.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero that administered first aid to injured people, protected property, and just happened to kill a group of vicious attackers that were part of a violent mob that was burning and looting and that among those 3 attackers were criminals and child molesters. There is no reason to bring Rittenhouse up even if you are trying to justify killing Charlie Kirk.

Howard is wrong. Tyler apparently grew up in a loving middle class Mormon family. Aggie pointed that out earlier.

Mormon ≠ Christian. Though I've heard many Mormons insist they are. They reject the Trinity, one of the core Christian beliefs. Among some other theological differences- but that one is enough to separate them from Christianity. And, there are two LDS churches, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), headquartered in Utah. The term "Reformed Latter Day Saints" refers to the Community of Christ, which was formerly known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS). The second changed their name in 2001- and I became aware of that just a few minutes ago.

What's the difference between a loving middle class Mormon family and a loving middle class Christian family? Probably undefinable in any real sense. But then, what's the difference between any two loving middle class Christian families?

Does being in a loving family mean a child is going to turn out OK? No. I've been around long enough to come to believe there are bad seeds, who just turn out wrong. Like when a family has 7 children and 1 of 7 grows up to be an alcoholic druggie, and 6 of 7 end up normal. Family isn't the only influence on a child. How did Tyler end up the way he is? I'd be taking a real close look at his high school instructors and HS policies.

Posted by a commenter on another message board:

We are currently witnessing a COVID crime wave of weird, loner, 22 yo social misfits who essentially missed their Junior and Senior years of high school. These killers lost all human contact at crucial years in their social development. ... Yep … perhaps we need to start looking at a COVID link to these trans/trans adjacent killers?
