    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.

        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.

            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.”

        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.

        Holy shit that’s fucked up. Man basically just killed his own child (or encouraged his child to kill himself) in exchange for $100k.

    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.

    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.

    This doesn’t seem like a very Starmer thing to say, or is the joke here that the Parody_PM account is saying things our PM might say if he were a sane man who understood humour, and didn’t get off on genocide and fascism?

    Now that he’s been identified as a Christian, I suspect that this will just be a big misunderstanding. A few hail Mary’s, a quick confession, and he’ll be absolved.

    What’s wrong with teaching kids how to use guns early? It’s better than them playing with guns they find in the shelf and end up shooting themselves or their siblings.

    The problem is always the same: white supremacy. Every mass shooter has come from that, maybe try to curb that shit before you try throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks?

      How about doing something about the guns lying around on shelves instead?
      And how is that underlying problem different for people of color?

      Hey there friend, I know bella ciao is Italian for bye beautiful in English but I don’t get any references. Could I ask you for a bit of explanation what you mean or a point in the correct direction?

    TBF, if the engravings on the casings are legit, then he’s definitely a leftist.

    • “Hey fascist! Catch!” followed by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols
    • “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao”
    • “If you read this, you are gay LMAO”

    (EDIT 9/12/25 - I am relatively certain that if these bullet casing even exist, then they were planted, because every other piece of evidence about the shooter that exists seems to suggest he was extremely conservative. examples: https://archive.is/e3oVv / https://archive.is/20250912221507/https://www.thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-suspects-grandma-says-family-is-all-maga/ )

    Still not sure wtf they were talking about with “trans ideology”…

    All this said, I’m happy to see the left is finally sacking up. I’m actually glad its not just a right-wing nut. Its (supposedly) a socially responsible kid who saw the crap that was happening in his country and found the willpower to do something about it.

    All of this said, I don’t think he actually did it. I’m relatively sure he’s being framed.
