    I think these fascists are trying to make him their “George Floyd”. But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week

          There’s no info about the shooter yet but I’m shutting up about Americans not taking action. At least for now.

      They’re claiming it’s their Reichstag fire… They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5

      My fuckwit uncle’s response to comments about George Floyd was “well turns out he was an asshole.”

      So as long as someone’s an asshole, it’s okay to extra-judicially murder them.

      to be fair this is also a wake up call for them.

      if they fuck around, they might find out.

      Apparently, it’s this guy.

      Family members turned him in, because even his own family doesn’t want to harbour this bigot.

      And here’s a quick synopsis:

      He’s exactly who you’d think. I, for one, am shocked /s. I guess Charlie wasn’t Nazi enough or something (according to Nick Fuentes in past statements, Charlie was a bit too ‘woke’, but we don’t know this lunatic’s motives yet, so I’m just speculating).

        Not for nothing but we don’t know if he’s conservative or Republican at all. We know his family might be but we don’t know he is.

          Yeah, I hoped I was clear that some of this is speculation at this point.

          Based on the photos, though….

          I get we need to be extra cautious, but some things are a pretty clear pattern. If we find out he was a leftist dude radicalised by the centrism of Lawrence O’Donnell, I’ll actually be shocked.

            I mean the only photos I’ve seen is a few of him with guns. Which in no way means he has to be a conservative. Lot of leftists are good with guns too.
