    I am telling you that there is proof video games effect people. Ever notice how most people born in the 80s grew up and all became plumbers? I mean sure all the competition has driven costs down for all of us and with just a little work you can find a plumber that will do the work for free, but a lot of these plumbers can no longer support their families and are forced to live in sewers and fight turtles for food.

    That’s because 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was charged earlier this week with murdering Kirk at a speaking event last week, reportedly used Donald Trump’s name as an alias on the Valve-owned gaming storefront at one point. Sources told Bloomberg the reference to the president is what led to the Secret Service’s involvement despite the Homeland Security agency having no role in protecting Kirk at the time of the assassination.

      1.) If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24 and legally had the ability to do so, you’re not a Liberal or Progress, full stop.

      2.) No Liberal or Progressive would want to be associated with Trump, even ironically for the “lols”.

        He bagged some transgender baddie and it turned a God-fearing conservative white boy into a radical sleeper cell leftist assasin. That’s why they are trying to keep us transgender girlies down…

          Sometimes the Stochastic Terrorism boomerangs.

          This is exactly what intelligent people have been saying for years would happen.

          Some MAGAt, primed for violence, finally figures out they’ve been lied to for 10 years & decided to put that penchant for violence to use.

          Both of Trump’s would-be assassins were registered Republicans.

    Nothing incompetent about it. Just evil this time.

    They want a profile of the guy. They want to sell him as a left-wing extremist. They’ll outright lie about it if they have to–they mostly have already–but lies work better when they’re based on some level of truth.

    The evangelicals supporting trump are responsible for the recent mastercard debacle to remove steam games. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start into a new wave “video games cause violence” bullshit.

    Also I thought the kid seemed fairly normal but him being a SoT sicko makes me wonder.

    Actually heavy investment into SoT could be a sign. This game can nurture some very antisocial behaviour.
