Suspect in assassination of Charlie Kirk is college-aged, blended in with campus: officials

 The Post Millennial 

"Bohls said the suspect "blended in well with a college institution." He said that the suspect "appears to be of college age." Bohls said he believes there was no ongoing risk to the community, and that this was a "targeted event.""

Daily Maill

 

"Authorities held a press conference on Thursday morning, during which they revealed that they have been able to track the movements of the shooter leading up to and after the shooting.

"Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason said starting from 11:52 am, authorities have been able to track the shooter’s movement "onto the campus, through the stairwells up to the roof, across the roof to a shooting location."

"After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he moved to the other side of the building, jumped off the building and fled off of the campus into a neighborhood," Mason continued. He said that authorities have contacted people in those neighborhoods nearby for their doorbell camera footage.

"Mason said that authorities "do have good video footage of this individual. We are not going to release that at this time. We’re working through some technologies and some ways to identify this individual. If we are unsuccessful, we will reach out to you as the media, and we will push that publicly to help us identify them. But we’re confident in our abilities right now."

. . . "FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls said that the weapon believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled. The weapon was a high-powered bolt-action rifle. Authorities have also collected a footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis. Bohls said that over 130 tips have been received so far." . . .

Democrats and the assassination of Charlie Kirk

Democrats and the assassination of Charlie Kirk

"Over the past decade, major media outlets, often aligned with progressive ideologies, have characterized Republicans and conservatives as extreme threats, using terms like "Hitler" or "Nazis.' " 

. . . "The persistent narrative that conservatives are inherently dangerous has been reinforced through various institutions, including educational systems, mainstream media, and entertainment industries. For years, younger generations have been taught that their conservative neighbors represent a moral or societal evil. This indoctrination has had tangible consequences, manifesting in a series of violent incidents targeting Republicans and conservatives. Notable examples include the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a Utah campus event, attempted assassinations of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and an attack on the Senate Majority Leader. Additionally, the 2017 shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice, which gravely injured Representative Steve Scalise, along with swatting incidents and public assaults on conservatives, underscore the real-world impact of this rhetoric.

"The Democrat Party bears responsibility for this escalation. The celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death on the Left, as evidenced by numerous posts on social media platforms like X, reflects a disturbing acceptance of violence as a response to ideological disagreement. These actions are not isolated but rather the predictable outcome of a prolonged campaign to demonize political opponents. The Left’s narrative has framed dissent as not just wrong but morally reprehensible, fostering an environment where violence against conservatives is increasingly justified by some." . . .

Charlie Kirk and the madness of the left

. . . "Ever since Lincoln, we’ve recognized that politicians, unfortunately, will be targets. However, something has shifted when someone like Charlie Kirk is killed. He’s just another guy, only better at what he does. He’s one of us, and he was killed for being one of us.

"This will not end well."

 Is TDS even worse than we thought? 

. . . "The sad conclusion is that, to those who are intractably infected with TDS, facts do not matter, nor does reasoning have any hope of moderating their hatred of the man.  His most commonsense policies are rejected for no other cause than that they are Trump’s. There is no ordinary explanation for this. Something evil is afoot." 

Iryna's murder is now two assassinations past from today, but do not forget her

 The list of those who failed Iryna Zarutska is long  

When one knows they are dying.

. . . "People in positions of power failed her.  How was a violently schizophrenic guy arrested 14 times before walking around free?

"The last judge to set him free was a magistrate judge.  Why is “magistrate” important?  Because one does not have to have a law degree to be a magistrate judge. Merely a Bachelor’s.  In anything.  You could have a Bachelor’s in Intersectional Basket Weaving Practices of Indigenous Lesbians and get the gig. 

"If you Google search “how to become a magistrate judge in North Carolina” you will see that beyond the undergraduate degree, there’s just a 40-hour class then you get your gavel.

"Magistrates typically manage small claims and civil cases but one power they have is to adjudicate involuntary commitment proceedings." . . .

 . . . "Who else let Iryna down?  

"You’ll be unsurprised to learn the media.

"Though the murder took place on August 22, the video of the attack didn’t become viral until this past weekend.  

"Once that happened, it took until early this week for the legacy media to even begin reporting on it. And when they did, they disgraced themselves as usual." . . .

Instead of admitting that violent criminals belong in jail, the leftist media are accusing Republicans of pouncing on Iryna's murder to defend President Trump's crime crackdown.

These Are Your Damned ‘Root Causes,’ Vi Lyles   . . . "It is precisely the stupid progressive ideas about the social reintegration of any person, regardless of what they have done, and precisely the stupid progressive ideas about the social integration of the dangerously mentally ill that are responsible for these attacks, these deaths, and many, many others — too many. We often say that the only person guilty of murder is the murderer. But because the left insists that anyone who commits a crime must be insane and therefore not guilty, the next in the chain of responsibility is the person who allows repeat offenders to walk freely on the streets." . . .

Texas announces ban on Sharia Law after Muslim 'patrols' tried to ban alcohol and pork

 UK Daily Mail 

At present, no laws appear to have been broken by the cleric. Peaceful protests outside businesses are protected under the First Amendment, and no threats of violence have been reported.  

"Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced a ban on Sharia Law in the state after an imam launched a campaign to pressure Muslim-owned stores to stop selling pork, alcohol and lottery tickets.

"Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid was seen in a viral video confronting a store employee and accusing the business of selling 'haram' products forbidden under Islamic law. 

"As a response, Abbott said on Tuesday: 'I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas. No business and no individual should fear fools like this.'

"The governor also addressed the imam, saying: 'If this person, or ANYONE, attempts to impose Sharia compliance, report it to local law enforcement or the Texas Dept. of Public Safety.'

"In a statement, Abbott's office added: 'In Texas, we believe in equal rights under the law for all men, women, & children. Any legal system that flouts human rights is BANNED in the state of Texas.'

"Abbott did not specify which bill he was referencing, but he signed a bill in 2017 that prohibits judges from applying any foreign law, including Muslim law, in US courtrooms.

"Imam Khan, who leads a Nation of Islam-affiliated mosque in the Houston area, warned Muslim business owners they would face boycotts and public protests if they refused to comply. 

"In the viral video that sparked widespread outrage, he said a nationwide protest movement was set to begin specifically targeting Muslim businesses that violate Islamic teachings." . . . More...

'Suffer the Consequences': Brother and Mother of Suspected Charlotte Murderer Say Democrats Are Wrong

 RedState  

"When the brother and mother of the suspected Charlotte murderer say he should've never been free, Democrats need to really take a look at their position and realize they are on the wrong side in the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska."

. . . "The Washington Post reported on the mother of the suspected murderer, and her comments echoed the brother's sentiment. She said her son should've been locked up.

"In a post from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, she quotes the WaPo piece:

" 'Murderer's mother: My son should've been locked up," Leavitt wrote. "Washington Post citing 'experts': Actually, locking up violent criminals is draconian!"

"Earlier on Wednesday, North Carolina Republicans held a press conference, blasting Charlotte's Democratic Mayor Vi Lyles and her party's soft-on-crime policies and social justice warrior judges for the murder of Zarutska, RedState reported.

"The Ukrainian refugee was killed on the light rail by Brown, a repeat criminal offender, who's now facing federal charges, RedState reported. 

"My RedState colleague Bob Hoge reported on Wednesday a conversation recorded from jail by Brown's sister. In it, we hear the suspected murderer speak for the first time and try to explain the reasons behind his psychotic actions. He is clearly deeply mentally disturbed." . . .

 House GOP Wanted to Hold a Moment of Prayer for Charlie Kirk. How the Dems Responded Was Appalling.

The Left Wastes No Time Expressing Vile, Cruel Reactions After Charlie Kirk Shooting

MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd Victim-Blames Charlie Kirk Minutes After Shooting

. . . " 'Yeah. And again, I emphasize what you just emphasized, we don’t know any full details of this,” Dowd said. “We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration, so we have no idea about this.”

"The MSNBC contributor went on to victim-blame Kirk for the shooting.

“ 'But following up with what was just said, he’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech, or sort of aimed at certain groups,” Dowd said. “And I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions." . . .

Matthew Dowd Is Human Garbage for What He Said About Charlie Kirk – PJ Media   

..."Dowd doubled down, offering his pseudo-profound take that “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.” In other words, according to him, Kirk’s speech—not the deranged individual who pulled the trigger—is to blame for the attack." ...

 Disgusting comments from left-wing lunatics on social media celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk while saying he 'deserved' to be shot   . . . "Speaker Mike Johnson held a moment of silence for Kirk on the chamber floor as questions swirled about whether the father of two was alive.

"Following the somber moment of silence, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., called out to Johnson to hold a moment of prayer for the late media company founder. 

"Some Democrats, clearly against the request for prayer, began cheering in unison ‘No!’

"The conservative commentator, 31, was hit by a single bullet while speaking to a crowd at the public university in Orem on Wednesday afternoon.

"The father-of-two, known for his fierce MAGA views and thrilling debates with college kids across the country, collapsed immediately after being hit by the gunfire." . . .

Gavin Newsom's Too-Online Campaign of Cringe

 Diann Russell

"Gavin Newsom's crack team of clueless nitwits decided that the surest path to victory in 2028 lies in stealing from Team Kamala's losing 2024 playbook.

"The California governor's staff handed over Newsom's social media to a twentysomething bowtied dweeb who is the living embodiment of the expression, "The Left can't meme.". . . 

"Screech has spent the past week or so tweeting out ALL CAPS posts meant to sound like Gavin Newsom impersonating Donald Trump. The tweets prompted endless mockery from the right.

"Trump's social media posts are attention-grabbing largely because Trump writes them. That's the point. It isn't some anonymous staffer trying to sound like Trump. It's Trump. For the bit to work, the ALL CAPS posts have to be written by Gavin Newsom, not some bowtied dweebie staffer.

"But because the dweeb doesn't have the common sense God gave a goat, he thinks the mockery directed at his work means he is getting under our skin and living rent-free in our heads, which only proves that while Leftists can't meme, they excel at becoming memes." . . .

. . . "As "10 Minute Drill" host Matt Whitlock pointed out yesterday, you can't fake authenticity. That kind of thing always backfires. And that's the problem with Democrats. They don't know when to stop. They always push too hard and too far, and then eventually, it backfires. This dweeb who runs Newsom's social media account is going to get high on his own supply. He will get so puffed up over the gushing praise of the people who already agree with him that he will eventually lose all sense of the appropriate and push way too hard, and the joke, which never quite landed in the first place, will blow up in his face like a trick cigar." . . . More

Iryna Zarutska’s Murder: The ripple effect of the Penny prosecution? In the end, Bragg’s message was loud and clear: We prosecute our heroes.

The ripple effect of the Penny prosecution?Alvin Bragg Bears Blame for Iryna Zarutska’s Murder  

"The police who investigated called it a case of self-defense. Bragg charged Alba with murder anyway.  After facing enormous criticism, including from Mayor Eric Adams, Bragg dropped the charges."

"Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian immigrant, was recently murdered by a thug named Decarlos Brown Jr. in Charlotte, NC. What’s made this crime notable is that it occurred on August 22. It is only receiving attention now because the conservative media sphere noticed it in the last few days. The mainstream media ignored it.

"While that aspect is important, the matter of who is to blame for Zarutska is more important.

"Decarlos Brown Jr. is directly responsible, obviously. Zarutska was on her way home from her job at a pizzeria. Brown was sitting behind her on the Charlotte light rail. Unprovoked, Brown drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed her to death. Hopefully, he will be behind prison walls for the rest of his life

"Unfortunately, one can’t be very confident that he will. A photo circulating on the internet (not for the faint of heart) shows Brown about to stab Zarutska with his 14 mugshots superimposed on the image. The Charlotte criminal justice system bears a great deal of blame for letting Brown roam free when he should have been in prison. Like most lousy criminal justice systems, it is in a city run by liberal Democrats.

"Another image shows there were three people seated to the side and behind Brown. There may have been other people seated just a few feet away. Why didn’t any of them intervene?

"To be clear, no one should blame them for not helping Zarutska. Anyone who intervenes in a situation like that risks becoming victim number two.

"Still, there are plenty of heroes in our midst like, say, Daniel Penny. Remember him? On May 1, 2023, he stopped the dangerous Jordan Neely on a New York City subway. Penny, a former U.S. Marine, put Neely in a chokehold and unintentionally killed him. Although many witnesses described Neely’s behavior that day as threatening and supported Penny’s intervention, Penny was arrested and put on trial by the George Soros-backed district attorney, Alvin Bragg.  (RELATED: Daniel Penny, USMC: Unfairly Charged)

"Fortunately, Penny didn’t go to prison. He was acquitted in December 2024. But as the saying goes, the process is the punishment. For a year and seven months, Penny got to worry about whether he would spend time in the big house. His defense cost at least $1 million — probably more — although thankfully it was covered by crowdfunding. Otherwise, the next court Penny would have found himself in was bankruptcy." . . . 

Treating Insanity, Not Normalizing It  

. . ."The acceptance of deviance, with trans rights activists likening their campaigns for shared bathrooms to those of blacks opposing segregated water fountains and claiming that opposition to drag queen story hours in public libraries is censorship, is part of a larger pattern of normalizing insanity. The people who think they are in the wrong bodies are like those who believe they are the Messiah." . . .

Rep. Randy Fine Plans to Introduce Bill to Hold Judges Accountable for Releasing Violent Criminals to Reoffend...

..."Following Horrific Public Stabbing Murder of Woman on Light Rail by Deranged Career Criminal"

 The Gateway Pundit

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) announced on Sunday that he is going to introduce legislation to hold soft-on-crime judges accountable if they release a violent criminal back to the street and the criminal commits more crimes.

"The proposed legislation would “hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes,” he said.

"This comes after 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. murdered 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska last month by stabbing her multiple times in the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail station.

"Surveillance video from the incident shows Brown, unprovoked, stabbing Zarutska from the seat behind her on the light rail, then wandering around the rail car with what appears to be blood on the floor.

"Watch the censored clip below via WBTV:

. . ."Fine said on X,

I’m going to introduce legislation to hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes.

It’s easy to release criminals when you’re protected by an armed bailiff at all times. The rest of us aren’t so lucky.

Those 12+ judges that released Decarlos Brown Jr. should have their day in court too.

Beware so many who want to tear this nation to pieces

America has tried for decades to heal and purge herself from the Jim Crow days; it was a terrible reflection on our great nation. But now we must fear those who can take us back to those awful days: the likes of the Joy Reid's, Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters; Jasmine Crockett, and the rioters of the Rodney King violence.  Keep in mind of those who are the foundation of a wonderful society: Ben Carson, Harris Faulkner,  Byron Donalds, Wesley Hunt, Tim Scott, and more that I trust and admire.

Two cities, two murders, race — Is Auburn's latest slaying Alabama's version of the Charlotte light rail stabbing?  . . . Which brings me to the next part of the left-wing narrative. If you've followed how these stories go in the past, there's a matrix that decides how Democrats respond to an act of violence. If the perpetrator fits their political narrative, the spotlight is placed firmly on their identity. If it doesn't, and a gun is involved, then they focus on gun control. But when the perpetrator doesn't fit their political narrative and didn't use a gun, then it becomes a discussion on "mental illness."

 So, back to the video of Zarutska, who’s sitting minding her own business, when Brown calmly stands up from his seat and viciously stabs her from behind, killing her. Will it spark a wave of protests against black on white crime across the country? Will there be calls from capitals from Washington to Sacramento for the country to have a conversation about black on white crime? Will crosswalks be painted gold in memory of Zarutska’s blonde hair?

From the comments to this video:   "The Flight Engineer is the busiest member of the crew'. Well, the Navigator's response might be: "oh, really?" No doubt the FE can get very busy at times, but during cruise he is monitoring, fine tuning, and occasionally switching fuel valves. The navigator has a constant workload for most of the flight, and if he is shooting celestial or sun lines over water while making all his pre-comps, calculations, and plots he doesn't ever get much of a break. You gotta feel for navigators."
