I have. Its most members of congress. (Source: https://www.trackaipac.com/congress) Paying people off (while very wrong and a cause of why our country is where it is) is a different ballgame than killing an american citizen on us soil.

Killing of Trump ally lays bare America’s bloody and broken politics
Moments before the crack of a gunshot changed everything, thousands of students had gathered under clear blue skies at an idyllic Utah college to hear from a man considered a rock star in conservative campus politics.
My post about the veterinarian was removed for good reason. Just so none of you think I was doxxing someone. I saw the post shared on X and screenshot the screenshot. I have no knowledge of the vet and as @CowboyJD said, it was a weird coincidence.
My apologies for any misunderstanding there. Apologies to @milehighpoke for trolling him with it. I'll be putting myself in time out from politics.
Peace and love to you all.

The internet has already found him. Just saw him on Instagram posted by another page calling him out
It’s a part of the game.

I don't know you but I respect the hell out of this
We all need some time my man and it's football season. I'm going to have a few more beers and invest in my fantasy teams a bit more than politics for a bit too

Armed with a revolver, the 16-year-old shooter systematically reloaded and fired as he wandered the school, trying to find new targets, police say.

MAGA:
I say MAGA and not the right or conservative because they aren't the same IMO.

How strangely mentally ill to want to shoot up any military base or academy. Maybe it's a suicide wish.

Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her.
We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy…
“I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.”
“For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued.
“They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.”
“And I am not unique,” she added.
“Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote.
“Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued.
“That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote.
“And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!”
“And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.”
“But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.”
“It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded.
This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.

A different perspective.
Is There a Link Between Mental Health and Mass Shootings?
Findings from the Columbia database help dispel the myth that having a severe psychiatric illness is predictive of who will perpetrate mass murder.

This article says more about this professor’s character and yours than it does about Kirk. People need to read what Gavin Newsom, Obama, Biden and Clinton wrote about Kirk. They definitely didn’t agree with Kirk’s opinions but they are the appropriate responses to his death.
She was on his hit list. Im not sure you can question her character if she isn't saddened by the death of someone who wanted to destroy her career and probably would have been callous if she was the one shot instead of him.
With a couple of days to process the brutality of what happened I can say I don't feel overly saddened by his death. He in no way deserved what happened to him and I can't stress that enough but its hard to generate sympathy to the level I have seen others show when I know that if this were Rachael Maddow or Ezra Klein, Kirk likely would have showed sympathy early on (he wasn't a monster) but eventually would have been flippant about their deaths like he has shown he is capable of being.
Again he was a human being and no one deserves his fate-espically not in the very public way it happened. But he brought on and seemed to celebrate divisions in our society. He wasn’t trying to make the world a better place. I don't know that we are better off without him as a whole but there are a lot of people he tried to ruin and I can understand why they are relieved or happy that he is no longer there to torment them.

now do Charlies´s character...he was passionate about his views, but he was not a good person IMO...
Also, Ive been thinking about this and I wonder what he would think of all of this. Im sure he would love the outpouring from everyone, friend and enemy alike. But he would probably also celebrate the division he created as in death he accomplished a lot of what he was trying to do in life.
He was many things but he wasn't a snowflake. His divisiveness came with courage and regardless of what you think of him you have to respect that. I think he would be saddened by Comedy Central pulling the South Park episode that parodied him-he seemed to relish that, but he was one to be perfectly fine being controversial. Maybe some saying what a terrible person he was is in a way honoring his memory.
