I don’t think it will happen to somebody big, necessarily. Nazis prefer to go for targets such as children and students.
Right after October 7 the university near where I live had a small table set up by the local SJP chapter and the local media immediately went into a hysterical rage with the end result being them getting ganged up by zionists making death and bomb threats and vile sexual comments with impunity.
Kirk is getting front page obituaries on every national news outlet, fawning adoration from every politician including the UK Prime Minister, a state-mandated mourning period and maybe even a state funeral.
When his nazi fans hear on the local news that the woke leftists are hosting an event at the local university, that could very well send them over the edge. And these are the types that have been fantasizing about murdering protesters in general well before Kirk was fired from life. Now they are looking to avenge his death, and while the pro-Palestine “Kirk” might be Hasan, they will probably go after softer targets, like university students they suspect of being pro-Palestine. Trump & Co are already fanning the flames of stochastic terrorism in this instance.
In my opinion, if Trump getting pretend arrested is enough for one of his fanboys to try to shoot up FBI HQ, I think another one of their idols biting the dust is more than enough to get them to lash out at much more vulnerable targets.
I say the target will be pro-Palestinian student organizations not because I think they are powerful but because in the campus culture war context, they are seen as occupying the opposite space to the Charlie Kirk/TPUSA types
I don’t see how this changes anything or what it could possibly have to do with the question of whether or not Mamdani is AOC 2, but cool factoid I guess.
If I wanted to read non-arguments and sophistry paired with smug condescension, I would make an account on Bluesky.
I think if they had a suspect their name and face would be plastered across every news platform in the country.
But I’m thinking, there has to be CCTV inside that building. Surely they would be caught on CCTV as they made their way up right? Or maybe there’s a way to get in and up without being seen by cameras? Still seems unlikely for a modern university building
In any case, every single person that was in that building that day is going to have their movements scrutinized and cross-checked. They’ll probably look at weeks of footage leading up to the event to see if anyone looks like they’re casing the joint.
My theory with Luigi was that they tracked him down using officially nonexistent surveillance technology and then made up the ridiculous backpack manifesto and McDonald’s cashier story to officially explain how they caught him. It’s possible they know who the shooter is, and are just working on an official explanation for how they figured it out. Of course, I hope they get away scot-free. If this happened to somebody like you or me, it would 100% end up as a cold case. But the cops are gonna be pulling out all the stops for their hero
The only thing you can actually conclude from all the videos of the shooter (of which there are maybe, I think, 2? and even then they’re in what, 20 frames?) is that they’re a person who shot Kirk from the roof.
Suburbanites believe everyone outside who is not in a car is out to murder them and sell their precious white children into slavery, and spend day after day fantasizing about when they’ll finally get to kill someone
Chuds have terrible literacy, therefore all media catering to them beats them over the head about everything, and they’ve come to expect that from all facets of life
