    Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right.

    Considering the shooter was/is a far right Internet troll…

    There’s a pretty good chance he just latches onto these crazy ass conspiracies and says Israel made him do it, just “for the lulz”

    What’s really big about this that no one has been really talking about tho, is how someone else shot a bunch of school kids the same day, and no one gave a fuck.

    Lots of people with nothing to lose want to be famous or at least infamous. And shooting children barely even makes the city papers anymore.

    Kill a CEO or a fascist tho…

    And you’re headline news for months/years, every late night host, podcaster, and even the president knows your name and cares deeply about your motivations.

    If someone wanted to manufacture a bunch of copycats, they couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.

      Well that’s good then. Less school shooting more rich assholes getting killed. Win win.

      Ah no, that was yesterday. Today he’s a left leaning trans dating weird gamer.

      Who knows what tomorrow brings. Palestine agent perhaps.
