Quote from former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, who was at the event: "Utah is one of the safest places on the planet. We just don’t have these types of things."
Uhhh.....yes you do. No place in the United States is safe from gun violence.

The thoughts and prayers didn't work. Headline from the New York Times:
Charlie Kirk, Right-Wing Activist, Fatally Shot in Utah

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
There's two videos of the actual shooting and one people were saying was probably AI cuz there was too much blood coming out of his neck but if he died maybe not who knows. That is insane. Also, the initial person everyone was saying was the shooter and was arrested. Turns out was not the shooter. Some old white guy.
After almost every major mass shooting, the satirical newspaper The Onion runs the same headline:
'No way to prevent this,' says only nation where this regularly happens
'No way to prevent this,' says only nation where this regularly happens
At the press conference, they said they had a "person of interest". I wonder what happened with that?
Something tells me that when they find him, he won't be touring rallies like Kyle Rittenhouse. All depends on WHO you killed...
I saw the graphic video of Charlie Kirk jugular shot and damn. Clearly the sniper was probably exmilitary?
Here's another fucked up story. At least this mass shooting didn't happened.
Police arrested a 13-year-old in Washington state who had ‘everything ready to go’ for a mass shooting

Good thing we live in a country where our leaders and representatives condemn gun violence and would never glorify and support ... oh wait... nevermind
Not getting political, a week ago I didn't know Charlie Kirk had connections to Arizona. His family lives in Phoenix and has a nonprofit organization called Turning Point USA. Over the weekend this crap happens.
Man arrested for sickening act at Charlie Kirk memorial outside Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix
19-year-old Ryder Corral appeared to be wearing a shirt similar to the one worn by Charlie Kirk alleged assassin when he vandalized the memorial.
This weekend there is going to be a memorial at State Farm Stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play. I hate to stay, I think something might happen. With the recent events and especially certain political figures will be attending it.

Secret Service dismantles 'telecommunications threat' near UN General Assembly in New York
The U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that it "dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials."
The devices were concentrated within 35 miles of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City, it added.
"This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites," the Secret Service said in a statement. "In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. "
"While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement," it also said.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the New York Police Department and other state and local law enforcement partners are assisting with the investigation.
"The potential for disruption to our country’s telecommunications posed by this network of devices cannot be overstated," U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran said.
The U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission is all about prevention, and this investigation makes it clear to potential bad actors that imminent threats to our protectees will be immediately investigated, tracked down and dismantled," he added.
The Secret Service also said: "Given the timing, location and potential for significant disruption to New York telecommunications posed by these devices, the agency moved quickly to disrupt this network."

There's no grand conspiracy here. It's just where all of the spam and phishing texts are coming from.Sounds like a plot story straight out of a TV show.
