I have no idea who committed the atrocity at UVU today. But the two released videos so far—per multiple law enforcement analysts on multiple media outlets—suggest a professional hit. That makes this much more complex, and far less likely to be the product of simple partisanship.

Maybe Poland should shoot down any Russian drones within 200km of it border, in case any accidentally fly off course. Maybe 500km, just to be safe.

Does it get any more convincing that the FBI is incompetent than them releasing two statements that they had the shooter in custody, only to have to immediately turn around and say they made not one mistake, but two. Kash is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the agency. What a joke.

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting. The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

A gundamentalist (someone who pushes the view that gun deaths are the cost of freedom and thus "worth it") dying by gunfire is akin to an anti-science anti-vaxxer dying of a preventable illness. The only difference is the former has more blood on their hands than their own.

There was significantly less political violence in America prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. We all know why. That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies. It simply underscores that revisionist history isn’t going to solve America's problems.

So far the distinguishing factor in the Kirk shooting is that the assassin fired a single shot. This is why I wouldn't be shocked if they'd used a bolt action. Otherwise I'd guess a hunter or experienced target shooter. It's weird for someone to shoot just once in this situation.
