Well over a million but they just do not want to give the credit. Nothing far right about those lads. If you find them far right you find your own parents and grandparents far right who fought the Nazis in world war 2. They held the same believes. Being Christian and loving your own county is far right these days.

Wiley k coyote moment for the UK ?

The moment of a few seconds, having just run off a cliff, when he is suspended in time and space

The UK has just crossed the red line into civil unrest

It just hasn’t yet realised it ? ???

Inevitable really when no institution is trusted, the economy is collapsing and the indigenous culture is being over run

I heard this hundreds of times among soldiers before I retired. The particular faith, or lack of faith didn't matter.

It is used to denote that this man is my brother and fellow warrior. I thought it was a very appropriate way to honor Charlie.

Bingo

Was saying the same thing to my wife last night. I didn’t / couldn’t see a rifle when the dude was running across the roof and then jumping down.

If you look, they guy is carrying what I now know to be the rifle wrapped in a black/dark towel as he runs across the roof. He sets it down just before jumping, then grabs it and drops it to the ground, and is still visibly with him as he gets to the street.

Has anyone heard an explanation on why the pre-and post shooting security camera pictures do not match the person in custody.
Have they said those pictures were not the shooter yet?

Because there is a massive amount of AI generated “pics” of the shooter being passed around the internet - I’d seen a post shortly after they released the real phots from the Utah state police that said….

“State police urge residents to stop circulating fake AI generated images because they interfere with the public’s ability to identify the actual shooter”

Stop sharing fake, AI-generated photos of Charlie Kirk shooting suspect

On Thursday, the FBI shared two photos. Some people thought the images were too blurry, so they attempted to "enhance" or "clean up" the photos with artificial intelligence.

Others stated that these images were a disinformation campaign to make it harder to identify the suspect and thus facilitate his escape/evasion of law enforcement.

The top one is an AI enhanced photo. It is not the one released by the FBI. AI fills in the unclear blanks (like facial details). The conspiracy crowd is of course having a field day with this sort of thing.

Beat me to it. The lack of critical thinking is really depressing. I can guarantee you a decade from now, just like the moon landing, JFK, and 911 there will be a small industry of nonsense about this event that far too many people will totally believe.

Already seeing some really insane theories circulating.

[Altitude sickness]

To be clear. I did not claim either picture was legit or tie it to anyone, anything, conspiracies or moon rocks.
I simply wondered what the real explanation was.

Thanks for clearing it up.

In the last 48 hours, Turning point USA has received approximately 32,000 requests to form new chapters.

Brent ,the main problem is there are some good folks still left in California, more or less trapped ,ranchers , farmers , loggers ect. they are probably holding on to the the past glory days hoping it will revert back, so sorry for them, I dont see it happening. most of these are land owners.
heck I remember the days you could go abalone diving one day ,salmon fishing the next , blactail deer and bear hunting the next, and maybe surf dipping for smelt and never be more than an hour or 2 from home! Hog hunting too.

You're right. I did all of those things when I still lived in California. My parents and grandparents were all born there, and I lived there until I was almost 40. In fact, California is still.largely conservative once you get away from San Francisco and Los Angeles. Unfortunately the state is run by those two areas.

Totally agree. Everything immediately becomes a conspiracy theory these days. The simplest explanation is usually correct. But the act of a lone lunatic is less interesting and doesn’t allow us to reinforce our desire to blame certain groups, institutions, or individuals.
