TIL that "stochastic terrorism" is a thing.

For some reason I have been thinking a lot lately about movies where the villain creates a monster that he is sure he can control, and then as he is reveling in his hubris he gets eaten by that monster.

Just saw it. Horrific but just. Fuck him

honestly, being a Politician/CEO that profits off of the loss of life... any act against them should be considered self defense. Killing hundreds/thousands indirectly (and knowingly) SHOULD be condemn-worthy not applauded/rewarded.

Fan of public executions and school shootings was publicly executed at a school event. The Aristocrats!

I promise the entire wacked out right wing media will use this as a call to violence against anyone who isn't conservative. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the shooter is a MAGA nutjob...just like all the other recent political assassins.

I, without a doubt, am willing to bet he was HEAVILY funded by right-wing millionaires and billionaires to push the divide and to make it so the rich can get whatever they want. And you coul say "but thats every other right wing talk does" yeah but do they have an organization like "Turning Point USA"? He hosts it which leads me to belive there are hidden rich powerful people using his as a megaphone to prop thier ideology. Use him as an every day person because they cant be the face.

One down. How many to go?

Peterson and Shapiro at least. 🙏

Hard agree. You can't defend this fucker's actions as "free speech" when he's sitting there trying to incite genocide. I don't care that he's not openly calling for violence. Hate speech is assault on entire populations. It shouldn't be protected, and as long as it IS, I have nothing but approval for those who engage in self defense against it.
Mumalot
hard agree as well.

FAFO, no sympathy

Yep.

I don't understand what the oligarchs hope to gain by keeping us poor and divided. They would be even oligarchier if the rabble were well funded and happy with each others' company. So that would be a win-win. Wouldn't it?
Mumalot
yea (cant find it), but that one comic of 2 rich oldguys staring out their office window... "Finally we have ALL the money" "but how will the poor ppl buy our stuff now" *internal panic*

His last public words were an overt racist dog whistle. He died spewing poison, not a "different opinion".
Freedom of Speech does not protect from the consequences of said speech. People keep lighting matches in rooms full of gunpowder and then being shocked when something explodes.
Allrighty
I do believe that the consequences in this case were in fact extralegal. Good riddance to bad rubbish but including an assassination exception in the first amendment doesn't seem very consistent with the idea of free speech.
Randazzo
The first amendment is really irrelevant to the matter, because it only protects from governmental retaliation for speech and we know it doesn't actually work in that respect.

Bill O'Reilly targeted a single abortion doctor so vehemently that one of his supporters went and killed him. That is stochastic terrorism.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Charlie Kirk just learned the most American lesson out there.

You are wrong though.
This might not feel like it but it's a great opportunity for you to experience growth.
Someone said something and you didn't know exactly what it was that they meant and instead of asking you ventured an ill informed opinion.
That's something that you should try and avoid, look the term they used up.
If it helps I'm a Grandpa and I only learned the term in 2017.

Beautifully said.

"This might not feel like it but it's a great opportunity for you to experience growth." What a great line. Seriously, no "/s" and I'm stealing it for reuse later.

If he really believed in the Second Amendment, he should of had a gun to protect himself, right? That's what he advocated.
DontYouHateWhenAllUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken
Yup. All would have been safe with more guns
austinyc
At least he died doing what he loved.. I guess
rojelioenescabeche
Where were all the “good guys”?
nothingunused
*should have. Sorry, I know that's a very common error, but "should of" doesn't make any sense.
Goatfer
It should be corrected to "should've" as it's much closer as phonetically spoken.
nothingunused
That is the source of the confusion, I am sure. Should've sounds a bit like "should of".

Thank you; I feel so bad for people not learning this in school and not knowing this as an adult, and I’m doing my best to educate people but, you got here first.

My pet peeve is "This begs the question, XYZ?" instead of "This raises the question, XYZ?" The former is a logical fallacy.

And I should have used colons instead of commas. Oh well. Fun fact, across the pond the ":" is sometimes referred to as the dog's bollocks (dog balls). Which might sound weird until you remember we call ":" a colon.
