It is far too early to draw firm conclusions about this Robinson lad who stands accused of this crime, but regardless of all the EXTRREEEMIST!*!! crud that is flooding across Twitter, he just seems to be so fucking normal. In fact, I am struggling to think of a murderous fruit loop who didn't look to be totally unhinged since Charlie Manson.
Conclusion: that country represents a clear and present danger to anyone daft enough to go there. It's like the Australian outback but with guns and an unpredictable layer of inevitability.

The moneychangers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply values more noble than mere monetary profit.
Kirk appears to be the victim of a schism on the far right. Robinson was a follower of this white nationalist guy. Supporting Israel appears to be a faultline. Its like a Tankies Vs Trots spat but fought with assault rifles instead of in-house newspapers.
Kirk appears to be the victim of a schism on the far right. Robinson was a follower of this white nationalist guy. Supporting Israel appears to be a major faultline (like Nick Griffin's beef with our own Mr Robinson). At least Tankies Vs Trots fought with in-house newspapers instead of assault rifles.
Kirk debated students because the majority wouldn't have the knowledge, life experience or debating skills to properly demolish what he was coming out with, but some might have been malleable enough to be gaslit into following him.
If he was ever actually open to being proven wrong and changing his mind, rather than making a show of reassuring his backers and followers that they were in the right and should keep following him, the grift would have been over.

Kirk was apparently fond of saying "prove me wrong".
Although I have not watched this video, apparently this Cambridge student did prove him wrong and left him floundering.
Watching that whole Cambridge Union debate back in May was my introduction to Charlie Kirk (an algorithm pick for me). The ginger student is the one who gets all the attention (perhaps because he was more animated?) but personally I found him a little overexcited and immature. Each of the students (and one of their professors), demolished Kirk (who must have had a masochistic streak a mile wide) most of them managed it in a mature, methodical manner which I found more effective.
Here's a link to the whole debate (I did try to post it at the time but Mailwatch gremlins ate my post and I couldn't be bothered to retype it).
Edited to insert an omitted letter.

Reactions on social media to the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk have cost multiple people their jobs as authorities in numerous states clamp down on critical commentary.
Among those to have been fired, suspended or censured in recent days for their opinions include teachers, firefighters, journalists, politicians, a Secret Service employee, a junior strategist at Nasdaq and a worker for a prominent NFL team.
The dismissals come as the administration of Donald Trump promises to take action against foreign nationals it deems to be “praising, rationalizing or making light of” Kirk’s killing, himself a fervent free speech advocate.
Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, meanwhile, has ordered staff “to find and identify military members, and any individual associated with the Pentagon, who have mocked or appeared to condone Charlie Kirk’s murder”, NBC News reported Friday.
This is rather tangential to the discussion, but: over on a railway forum I frequent, a poster has remarked upon how expensive books are in the US - he said that even paperback fiction books are three to four times the cost of what they are in the UK, which surprises me.
Has anyone else observed this or is aware of this? If so, no wonder Dolly Parton's Imagination Library hands out so many books to children.

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town
What a pathetic spectacle. The weirdo widow (with her $12m windfall) tips up for a party-mandated grief-fest in something called the State Farm stadium. Isn't that a bit, you know, Bolshevik?
