I think there might be some puffins there, and I believe it was a haunt of the Great Auk before its extinction.

Do we need a separate thread to discuss the murder of Charlie Kirk, and the links between the people who discussed it the day before it happened?

Though this thread has been excellent at showing the lengths some people will go to in order to derail the discussion and distract from the concerns of radicalised TRA violence.

“and the links between the people who discussed it the day before it happened?”

This is important, if we can be allowed to discuss it, and not be derailed and distracted from the matter in hand.

Robinson’s DNA found on the towel that the abandoned gun was wrapped in.

And he had written a note stating his intent to
‘Take out’ Charlie Kirk.

No indication as to whether that’s a paper note left for someone to read or a note made on a phone app.

edit: on reread it seems like it may have been a paper note ‘left inside his home’ so either for the boyfriend or perhaps an explanation for family if he was killed by cops while committing the crime?

I don't want to derail Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips, but I can't believe we're talking about Charlie Kirk when the BBC has an interesting article up about the Royal Navy's use of the remote island of Rockall during the Cold War.
'Operation Rockall successfully completed': The tiny island seized by Britain to foil the USSR

😱Noooooo! Don't bring up Rockall! You'll stir things up between the Irish/British/Danes/Icelanders!

I wonder if the phrase 'rock all' meaning 'nothing' relates to Rockall?

"The UK finally accepted that Rockall was, legally, a "rock", when it acceded to the UN Convention of the Seas in July 1997."

I am retrospectively sad that Rockall has suffered the indignity of being downgraded from island to rock.

McClean would not be the only person to reside on Rockall with the aim of making a political statement. In June 1997, three Greenpeace activists landed by helicopter to claim Rockall as the capital of an entirely new micro-nation – "the Global State of Waveland" – in a stunt to protest against the government's granting of mining licences in the region. Greenpeace said it wanted to "borrow" the islet until it was "freed from the threat of development", offering citizenship of Waveland to anyone prepared to take their pledge of allegiance.

I think a can of worms might have been opened.

Didn’t Rockall play a part in the Cod Wars?

I started following this YouTuber a while back for his Idaho 4 coverage. He’s a fairly old school type of investigative journalist who actually goes to the places where events happen rather than just reporting secondhand from his spare room. Not watched it yet but this upload is specifically about the possibility of a network of conspirators…

But ... Surely Rockall still identifies as an island? Is the UN denying Rockall's right to exist? 😮

He also had white republican parents. So I'm sure you're going to demonise white republican people as well as trans people right? Because they associated with him and therefore must also be responsible, right? Maybe he had a black friend as well so the racists can blame black people.

Seriously, listen to yourself. You have zero idea what his motivations are at this point or who he was influenced by. Your hatred of trans people is giving you the blinkers.

I think the reason the transgender partner was brought up is because he, the killer had carved trans-ideology quotes onto the cartridges, he had been radicalised in a school/ college and through living with a trans identifying partner.

Someone should go to Rockall and put a massive pair of googly eyes on it. While they're there they could take down the Union flag that's probably been stuck there. Or at least hang it the right way up.

It also came up because a set of people were trying to say he was far right. And it doesn't appear that he was far right.

If it didn't matter than why did people try and claim he was far right in the first place?

The astronomical authorities also downgraded Pluto to no longer being a planet. The indignity!

This is really sad, but why is this irrelevant to feminism?

Have the women highlighted the right thing with the wrong way, words, tones, methods again?

Social media left by the men in various gaming and other groups is going to be useful evidence. They didn't appear to do a very good job of deleting their posts or hiding their online profiles.

Or just the whole of American society 🤷🏻‍♀️

let’s face it there’s a lot of gun owners, hunters, etc who don’t murder people. I do think there should be gun control but I don’t think you can blame the parents when it’s so mainstream.

I think it's so funny how the left advocate for society without guns, then when they lose the argument around extreme ideologies and socialist/ communist views they're the first to pick one up, their last resort is to shut down the conversation by pulling a trigger, it's always the left who turn out the most aggressive.

Really interesting video, interview with a former investigator who has spent time in Utah monitoring white supremacist groups. He described how the authorities might investigate wider groups in detail.

Thanks for you not so terribly measured dose of propaganda. Welcome to MN, what brought you here…?

In my opinion the parents aren't to blame, in America the 2nd amendment allows for the right to bare arms, gun crime rose under the Biden administration, this came with the introduction of extreme ideologies and BLM/ unfair sentencing around gun/ crime, look at what happened to that poor girl "iryna zarutska" the poor Ukrainian girl stabbed on the train and left by all in her black community to die, no one came to her aid, but DEI allowed these mentally unstable people to go free after repeated offences, we need harder laws and we need to get extreme socialist ideologies out of our kids schools, racism works in both directions and white kids are being made to feel like they owe the world something and deserve to be hated, this is what is radicalising them, it's happened in the USA and it's happening here in the UK, the education system in the west need deep reform.

Extreme socialist ideologies like what - the NHS?

You seem to be confusing two very different countries with vastly different cultures.

LGBTQIA- Alphabet Soup Ideology/ the west is just being taught hate itself through extreme socialist bordering on Communist/ Marxist views, DEI, all of this is leaving such negative views in the heads of todays youth.

Obviously everyone is different, but if TRs room-mate was trans or a trans rights activist then it is incredibly unlikely that TR didn't support trans ideology 100%. Irrespective of whether they were in a relationship.

Trans ideologues believe in decapitating or raping "TERFs" so of course murdering a public figure who is "anti-trans" is OBLIGATORY in order to be a moral person.

TR was killed because he had conversations, more than his beliefs. Trans ideologues cannot kill every TERF but they can go after all of the famous names who ignored the demand to have #nodebate
