    Unfortunately, all of the competent people at the FBI left already.

    Also, don’t forget that Trump very likely fucked a child and is covering it up. Release the Epstein tapes…

    K.

    In other news, Republicans blocked release of the Epstein files.

    Where’s the Epstein files and why is trump and Republicans covering it up?

    Meaning they don’t think the person who shot him was black, trans or had mental health issues.

      Well according to the community forum for my crazy neighborhood it’s definitely a minority trans person who did this.

      Also all mass shootings were done by trans people. Not even joking.

        That’s funny because he was literally answering a question about trans mass shooters when his neck exploded.

      WSJ is claiming that the rounds recovered from the weapon used had pro trans / “antifascist” things engraved on the bullets - make of that what you will. Generally WSJ’s reporting is factually accurate but incredibly biased, so there’s that? Fuckin’ hell though this is already such a fucking clusterfuck.

        If that’s actually the case

        then I think it’s just as likely

        that this was done by fascists

        to justify a “war” against “leftists”.

          I can’t say I would be surprised for that to be the case.

          I think it’s far more likely for it to have been one decent person who couldn’t take the constant hatred spewed by Kirk. Everyone knows this has been brewing, for it to finally pop on Mr 'Puts His Punchable Face Right Out There And Taunts You For Not Hitting Him" himself isn’t much of a surprise.

          That’s completely standard in journalism - and the WSJ, despite being an aggressively horrible publication politically and morally, is quite respected for the strict veracity of it’s reporting. I don’t doubt they were told that, by a reputable source. I have no idea if it’s true beyond that however, since the trump admin isn’t exactly overflowing with decent quality human beings.

    They’re looking for a white male ages 14 to 79 in Utah. So. Basically looking for a needle in a stack of several million needles.

      This is where that super invasive dystopian surveillance tech could really come in handy.

      In Xinjiang, administrators logged people as high, medium, or low risk, often according to 100-point scores with deductions for factors like growing a beard, being 15 to 55 years old, or just being Uyghur.

      Help us narrow it down from a needle in a haystack to a needle in a haystack with a predictive score based on institutional bias. Book 'em Danno!

        Telecom black rooms, Flock mass AI surveillance, NSA secret catalogue of zero days… we control the internet backbone and a lot of traffic flows through our country just because it’s cheaper to route that way.

        That’s why we have fusion centers right? You can’t use your fancy spy tech without people parallel constructing a plausible scenario for how someone was really caught.

        Maybe they know where the shooter is right now and they’re just waiting for people to finish the story. Social media post, a call to an old friend, have a tip placed anonymously, suddenly they find him at McDonald’s.

          It’s also odd bc within hours of somebody being shot on a public street there was a video and sketch released, but with this guy they allegedly have ccTV footage of him, but they haven’t even released it to the public

        That’s not the most dystopian surveillance tech around. It gets both more intrusive and more effective…

        Think constant drone surveillance over a whole region. High res cameras, massive storage and long loiter times with glider like drones. You can just keep recording, and then when something like this happens, you just play the video back for the whole last day, following your suspect backward in time to when they left their home in the morning. The system isn’t even all that expensive to operate.

        Say goodbye to privacy.

    Led by “it was clearly suicide” Kash Patel. While all evidence slipped away, they had the wrong guy in custody for 6 hours. This was a critical window but a bunch of sycophant gravy seals are not going to figure this out.

    Honestly if you are going to kill someone in a high profile incident Utah is probably the best place. Easy to get into easy to get out of, for all we know the killer is gambling in Blackjack Nevada after proving their luck with that shot.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if there weren’t lots of open carry types there too making it almost impossible to figure out who to suspect. The school allowed guns on campus.

          You don’t get the point of those laws and signs. You see. If it’s illegal to bring weapons to that area, then you can stop someone BEFORE they start shooting people. You can even charge them and take their guns away. You know they’re doing something illegal, because they are armed illegally. Look at the Vegas shooter, he openly carried an absurd amount of legally possessed weaponry into a hotel room, no questions asked. If that wasn’t legal? Well. He’d have to actually put some effort into this.

          You missed the point, it wouldn’t stop it, he meant that since everyone open carries, the amount of suspects significantly increases, and no one would find it suspicious for someone to be carrying a gun on campus.

    The assassin will never be caught. Law enforcement couldn’t solve a crossword puzzle if the answer is not handed to them directly.

      Law enforcement was involved in it. This is clearly a operation to support denying trans folks of owning guns.

      Law enforcement usually does not care enough to solve a crossword puzzle - but there’s surprisingly few cases that can’t be solved through the careful application of an overwhelmingly massive surveillance apparatus (See: luigi - who could have gotten away with it had they not managed to find the hostel camera footage)

      I’m really hoping this proves not to be the case here, just including the prior as a caution to anyone planning to be gay and do crimes that you can’t actually discount the cops completely. (And from having worked with LE in the past, the absolute #1 way to not get caught is to never ever tell anyone about it. Not your friends, not your mom, lips sealed no matter how cool it was. The number of calls in to their tip lines with people ratting out friend-of-friends is crazy.)
