When will the right side of the political aisle Start burning down buildings and killing leftists in the streets the way that the Democrat party members did after the George Floyd death?

"Cox said at a Friday morning press conference that a family member of Robinson told investigators that the suspect “had become more political in recent years.”

“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” Cox said Friday morning. “The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.”

"Robinson is registered as an unaffiliated voter in Utah."

How does that equate to being "deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology"?

Cox is jumping to conclusions. It could be that we will find out in the coming weeks and months that Tyler made a left-wing veer in his politics. However, that does not equate to a "psychotic leftist democrat." I speculate that Tyler will turn out to be yet another young, unstable, and misguided white male who shouldn't have had access to guns, and that whatever his background and motivation, it's not going to fit neatly into left or right-wing extremism.

State records show that the killer of Charlie Kirk was not a Republican and was registered as Unafilliated

State records show that Robinson registered to vote as unaffiliated. He is listed as an inactive voter in state records, meaning he didn't vote in the last two elections. He was not old enough to vote in 2020.

So it appears he never voted.


Tyler Robinson being registered as unaffiliated is old news at this point. No one ever claimed he was registered as a Republican.

Disclaimer for when Rich comes back years later to claim I was lying: All of the following is subject to revision as the investigation into Tyler Robinson progresses. But as of right now, we don't know definitively that Lance Twiggs is transgender, or that he was Tyler's roommate at the time of the shooting.

As of right now, no "authorities" have confirmed that Lance Twiggs is transgender. It could be that we will eventually find out that Lance Twiggs is transgender, but as of right now, that is far from certain based on current reporting. Everything I've seen so far is from the likes of the NY Post and right-biased sources like i24. I couldn't find any mainstream reporting making these claims. Given what we currently know, the claim that Lance Twiggs is transgender is based on unverified reporting and anonymous or secondary sources. It could be that this rumor is factual, but it's far from confirmed at this point. Honestly, it's not even clear they were roommates at the time of the shooting. I've seen reports that they were roommates during the only semester Tyler attended college at Utah State.

You can go to the film "The Fall of Minneapolis" here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA

At the 14:10 minute mark George Floyd states "I can't choke, I can't breathe"

That was of course before he was even on the ground.  

Is that the same George Floyd of which you are speaking, the career criminal who had served Prison time and  who was arrested many times, one of which was when he and other criminals went into the apartment of a pregnant woman to rob her at gunpoint, with George Floyd being the one who placed the muzzle of a handgun against her abdomen threatening to kill her and her unborn baby if she did not give them her money?

Is that the George Floyd of whom you are speaking?

Is this the same George Floyd that died after he self-ingested Fentanyl and overdosed on it whereby the coroner who performed his autopsy found that he had more than 3X the amount of Fentanyl in his system that normally kills human beings?

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA 

Do you mean the George Floyd who when pulled over was found with Methamphetamine in his car and with Fentanyl in his car?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA

You can go to the 18:59 mark
of the above video and see the image of him ingesting those drugs in his mouth.

Do you mean the same George Floyd, who when asked by the arresting officers if he was "On something", told the police "No, nothing", when he was experiencing a Fentanyl overdose.  You can go to the 9:25 mark in the Film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA

Let's get to the actual autopsy of George Floyd, done on May 26, 2020, 12 hours after George Floyd died.

This you can see in this film at the 37:37 mark.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA  

Now if one doesn't want to watch the entire segment, one can go to the 38:23 mark where it states that Mr. Floyd's condition was such that he had a heavy heart and serious coronary artery disease, with one of his heart arteries at 75% blockage.  

More importantly the Dr. who performed the autopsy stated that Mr. Floyd did not die of asphyxiation.  
 
I could go on but why?  He was a career criminal whose life was simply a life of crime.  

And now, because he was black, the leftist world now reveres this poor guy who was a career criminal as a person to celebrate as a Saint.  

Pretty sad life he had but then he chose that life didn't he?

You have missed the reason why the murder of George Floyd was consequential by such a wide margin; it's unbelievable. It doesn't matter that George Floyd had struggles in his life. And by the way, his personal background includes a lot more than his struggles with addiction. What matters is that his death exposed systemic racism, with video evidence that was undeniable to a global audience. Floyd's death cemented in reality the long-standing complaints from Black communities regarding policing practices.  Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder, and the other officers were all convicted of state and federal charges and served jail time. In contrast, Charlie Kirk, a right-wing demagogue who made millions off of monetizing right-wing rhetoric and propaganda, was shot by a 22-year-old, white male, from a highly conservative family and background, who lives in a highly red state, and who was steeped in online internet meme and gaming culture, and gun culture. If there were two events that are not the same, these would be them.

Ok, maybe Rod did, or did not. I'm not going to go back and check everything, and if anything, this highlights why we should be careful to point out that most of us are merely speculating at this point. Regardless, Spencer Cox repeated the information about Tyler's roommate being transgender to Martha Stewart on ABC's This Week program, so this angle is definitely gaining traction now. It would certainly explain why Tyler Robinson did not like Kirk.

I believe you; I've merely grown weary of fact-checking the plethora of inexactitudes Rich produces.

If other MSM are not reporting it widely, it usually means their fact-checkers and editors cannot confirm it independently; it doesn't mean it's not true, simply that it's still unclear.

Yeah, it's nuts that *anyone* on the right would claim that the left is responsible for this violence when it's clear that the leader of the MAGA-GOP movement is the absolute worst when it comes to political vitriol. Trump doesn't care; as long as he's playing to his core constituency, he couldn't care less who he will end up harming. Never mind that a recent study by the CATO Institute, published on 9/11 of this year, no less, clearly shows that the right is responsible primarily for political violence in this country by a wide margin. And never mind that the CATO Institute is far from a leftist think tank, and is funded by none other than Charles Koch, one of its co-founders. Trump doesn't care about facts; all he cares about is using his unmistakable dog whistles to throw red meat to his far-right supporters. I believe also that the FBI said a long time ago that right-wing extremism is the biggest threat to domestic terrorism in the USA. Also, the collective amnesia the right has about the Jan. 6th Capitol riot, where Trump encouraged his right-wing supporters to try and disrupt or stop the legal proceedings of a free and fair election, is astonishing as well. Trump pardoned them, and the right wants to whine about left-wing violence? It's really unfathomable at this point, the alternate realities each side seems to live in.

Here is the CATO Institute study one more time. Let's say it loud for those in the back: while all extremism is bad for our country, right-wing extremism is clearly much worse by any standard of measurement.

Politically Motivated Violence Is Rare in the United States

Right-wingers are the second most common motivating ideology, accounting for 391 murders and 11 percent of the total. The definition here of right-wing terrorists includes those motivated by white supremacy, anti-abortion beliefs, involuntary celibacy (incels), and other right-wing ideologies.

Left-wing terrorists murdered 65 people, or about 2 percent of the total. Left-wing terrorists include those motivated by black nationalism, anti-police sentiment, communism, socialism, animal rights, environmentalism, anti-white ideologies, and other left-wing ideologies.

It's so depressing to think we have over three more years of this clown show left!

Trump pushes justice department to prosecute his political opponents

President Donald Trump has called on the country's top law enforcement official, Attorney General Pam Bondi, to more aggressively investigate his political adversaries.

In a social media post addressed directly to Bondi, he said: "We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility."

Trump expressed frustration that "nothing is being done", before calling on Bondi to investigate former FBI director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, who oversaw his first impeachment trial.

Shortly after, he posted again to praise Bondi who he said was "doing a great job".

So, to make this even worse, apparently, this social media outburst by Trump was a private message that was accidentally made public and has since been deleted. Plenty of people had archived it before it was deleted, and since then, Trump has attempted to smooth things over by posting praise for Bondi. So, basically, Trump tweeted publicly the Watergate scandal on steroids, and it barely even moves the outrage meter. We have all become completely numb to his abuses, it seems.
