ABC News reporter swoons over romance between Charlie Kirk assassin and
trans roommate: 'very touching'

https://a57.foxnews.com/cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/694940094001/1c85b1ae-d4cf-4948-b461-b392c938cb4a/fbe5cfbf-0104-4fcf-bb74-1fba0a290bd6/1280x720/match/896/500/image.jpg?ve=1&tl=1

An ABC reporter who was in attendance at a press briefing in Utah where charges against the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination were detailed claimed that the text messages between the alleged killer and his transgender romantic partner were "very touching." In those messages, Tyler Robinson urged his lover Lance Twiggs to destroy evidence to help cover up his connection to the killing.

Matt Gutman told viewers "we have seen an alleged murderer with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it.

But also it was very touching, in a way that I think many of us didn't expect, a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling him 'my love', and 'I want to protect you my love.'

"So it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting... riveting press conference."

Since a suspect was named, there has been an effort among mainstream media outlets to paint him as a person on the far-right wing and now that this narrative has been proven false by investigators, ABC takes the view that the alleged killer was a loving partner to his trans boyfriend.

During that press conference, the Utah county attorney on the case revealed that accused killer Tyler Robinson came from a conservative family but had taken up leftist positions on trans and other position and wrongfully believed Charlie Kirk was a hateful person.

I saw that last night but was reluctant to post because I can only take so much.

Some now (in media) are trying to say he's not politic at all... which is insane... the police are saying it is politically-motivated.

I'll use X here because it's convenient:

1968040846726705253

His "roommate" barely said anything to him. It was mainly the shooter bragging about all the murdering he just did. That is NOT love.

One of ABC's examples of a touching moment, apparently:
Shooter: … judging from today I’d say grandpas gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope ;-; …

ABC News reporter Matt Gutman blasted for calling texts from Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson ‘very touching’
https://nypost.com/2025/09/16/media/abc-news-reporter-matt-gutman-blasted-for-calling-texts-from-charlie-kirk-assassination-suspect-tyler-robinson-very-touching/



“I don’t think I ever experienced a press conference in which we’ve read text messages that are A – so fulsome, so robust, so apparently allegedly self-incriminating and yet, on the other hand, so touching, right?” Gutman grasped.

“And the terminology he used, he was trying to protect him. He kept calling him ‘my love.’ ‘My reason for doing this is to protect you,’ you know, but also asking him to delete the messages and not speak to law enforcement. So, there’s this heartbreaking duality that we’re seeing very tragically playing out.”

A wise Nigerian prince needs to contact this man right now. Make sure to use his secret password: "my love" and ask him about his favorite romantic crime novel...

people seem to raise these people up, implying that there comments or opinions are worth something. They are not. These news channels get very little viewer numbers. People know that their opinions are worthless. The president of the USA and his cabinet make worthless comments. People just need to have their own opinions rather than giving these people respect that they just haven't earned

🚨 JUST IN: Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) demands public firing squad "for
the entire world to see" of Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G1AGTi3XYAAaBK5?format=jpg&name=small

The public firing squad seems too much but I am definitely in favour of bringing back the death penalty … maybe in about 15 years after we have hopefully survived the upcoming civil unrest/ war ..

Utah is a very old school state, apparently. I'm not a fan of this as it's needless I think, but it is ironic that he may end up going by gunshot the way he killed his victim. I don't know that he'll get DP, though. Juries are more unpredictable when a death sentence is on the table.

A fact I didn't know, a lawyer and everyone involved has to be "death penalty" certified to go to trial. So if you see a lot of old people running the case, that's why. It's very difficult to get to that level of certification given that most trials aren't murder trials...

This isn't panning out how a lot of them thought it would.

That's the point though, isn't it. Antisocial behavior has been panning out well. Only now are they willing to put some stop it because I guess finally some invisible line has been crossed... :shrug:

Speaking to that, riots/uncivil discourse are easy enough to prevent, including events like Jan 6th. They had days of notice and it was very evidence not only temperatures very high, but what some people had intended to go and do if the opportunity had been presented to them. They could've had way more people staged to protect the Capital. Why didn't they? Hmmm.

How is it after things like this happen it's very easy to find or have seen the origins of it on social media. People were posting about this shooting before it even happened.

Law enforcement have better tools than us for scouring social media. They can't catch everything, of course, but that's why they can't let this behavior fester and fester. It's easier to tell if someone is actually planning something if they're not sifting through thousands of profiles of other people sh**posting as self-proclaimed "revolutionaries".

That's the one issue I have with this is, is suddenly media/politicians are pretending they didn't know 1) this could happen and 2) where and when it was likely to happen. They knew something was inevitably going to happen, obviously. Yet they continued to roll the dive every time they encouraged or sewed discord. To restrict their police and change the rules so that they do the bare minimum also incentivized it... and are now they pretend to be shocked to find out that people are even more willing to go beyond the lines they have set...

We all know that peace will not come from this with the left/right sides of things. It’s sad but sadly it’s true

If you're only reading this discourse through social media, then yes, I can understand why you may believe that this is the real dynamic...


Saving others from scrolling:

My impression has been most people do not care about a left/right posture, or the ping pong effect of online discourse. They're much more concerned about a handful of issues and that's it. That's primarily what causes them to vote one way or the other. Other reasons might be more visceral, like they don't like the stances they perceive to be taken as hostile to them from one side or the other... especially anything identity-based.

"People on the left" include hardcore ideologues, sure, but a lot of times it just includes more people who have a handful of issues most close to them... that would include transgender rights or things like abortion. For them, this is their "common sense".

They probably don't care as much about anti-Capitalistic-style rhetoric, but they're easier to convince yeah well let's try something else... do they actually fall within the category of wanting to dismantle the ENTIRE system when polled? Very likely not, but more than the right obviously.

The other alternative is that some people who have felt maligned for holding certain views, yes they're going to "fall into" one side or the other either to portray "Hey, this is still a reasonable take to me... here's a thoughtful meme" or "here's a meme or video that's going to piss you off... **** off to everyone trying to say otherwise"... that crowd is easier to push towards voting down a party line.

The same dynamic holds for the right generally, but in differing ways...

(Trying to keep the post shorter, sorry)

There's very few people I've talked to can disagree on very basic things without personal issues developing. Yet, most every person I've seen disagree and malign others in intolerant ways 1) has been on online or on a local social media site and 2) are all getting their talking points from political discourse they've almost 100% seen only online... And it's very obvious that's true because it's easy enough to to just check the current algorithms in social media and see that these same talking points are spreading everywhere... so they're taking their personal notes from online and not people they actually know on either side of the spectrum.

I often poll people who are similar to me in thinking and one would think we would more likely vote on the same things in the same manner. Surprisingly, that's almost never true. I think it's largely because there's still a majority of people who don't take views from online, and so don't use that in deciding how to vote. Often I know more than they do about some things and I usually only pay the minimum amount of attention to social media feeds. Unless there's something going on like a court case, major event, etc. (Other people are probably similar)

So, I don't give anonymous posters that much credence because we underestimate just how differently most people interact with each other once screens are removed...


Ironically, what makes events like the one Charlie Kirk did so critical to getting a better picture, was because we could see what people actually believed and why they believed it. The most rabid of any end of that doesn't tend to have strong debate skills and they're often relying too heavily on things they're told. Then there are dozens of others that came to the table and were able to have a reasonable discussion, decipher talking points for themselves and illustrate their own viewpoint separate from that and amazingly, it didn't sound like the average X feed.. so we have to ask how much of the "rabid" variety are really representative of a reasonable dynamic. I personally believe having grown up during a time when the internet was really young, online "debate" pushes more reasoned debaters to the sidelines (kinda like SD does this..) as who can argue with a mob?... so we can't really expect that social media will reflect an accurate picture of where people actually sit...

If it did, elections would be easier to predict.

SAN MARCOS, Texas - Governor Greg Abbott called on Texas State to expel a student over the student's actions that were caught on video at a Charlie Kirk memorial event.

What they're saying:

Texas State President Dr. Kelly Damphousse released a statement on social media saying:

"I am aware of the disturbing video that was taken at an event on our San Marcos campus on Monday. I have directed university officials to take immediate steps to identify the individual in the video. Behavior that trivializes or promotes violence is reprehensible and violates the values of TXST. It will not be tolerated. If this individual is found to be affiliated with TXST, appropriate action will be taken. Let me be clear: expressions that glorify violence or murder have no place on our campuses."

Charlie Kirk investigation: Patel testifies before House on alleged killer Tyler Robinson's capture
https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-investigation-9-17-2025

The family of suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson need to stay out of the public eye for a while, authorities said, Wednesday.

"They need to lay low for a long time, unfortunately," Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby told reporters during a news conference after being asked about the family of Tyler Robinson.

"So even, I'll throw this out there. I have a second cousin with the last name Robinson, who happens to be an optometrist in town, and, he's his office has been receiving threatening phone calls," Brooksby added.

"Just give his last name. So. So to put somebody in that kind of, burden, it's burdensome situation when they had nothing to do with it. No relation to the family. Just just think about how the actual individuals involved in this incident are feeling right now."

I haven't watched the whole thing yet but yikes.

West Hollywood faces fierce backlash for lowering flags to honor Charlie Kirk
https://www.foxnews.com/media/west-hollywood-faces-fierce-backlash-lowering-flags-honor-charlie-kirk

West Hollywood issued a statement Sunday after the California city faced backlash for lowering flags to half-staff in response to a presidential proclamation to pay tribute to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

After Kirk was assassinated during a campus event at Utah Valley University last week, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation ordering the U.S. flags on the White House and all public buildings and grounds to be lowered to half-staff to honor the conservative activist.

The California city was criticized after following this order, as well as lowering the Transgender Flag and Pride Progress Flag at Matthew Shepard Square. A sign was erected in the square in protest of the decision.

‘This is our Happy Valley’: Students returning to Utah Valley University reckon with their campus becoming Kirk crime scene
https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2025/09/17/how-utah-valley-university/

https://www.sltrib.com/resizer/v2/FYY2LZ2VSVCKPFC5TXWAUQZMOM.jpg?auth=80d0d181463abc 4524a1dc9efc88e20e858c18b7d2fea71f7cbd9313caa2d094&width=1024&quality=88

They've already paved over his spot...

Nearly every student who walked by on their way to class at Utah Valley University early Wednesday stopped for a minute at the spot where everything changed.

A week ago, political commentator Charlie Kirk had been speaking in this campus courtyard when a single shot rang out, striking and killing him. Now, the place where he spoke is surrounded by a thick metal fence as officers patrol nearby.

The loudest sounds were whispers Wednesday, quietly shared below a new, 25-foot tall American flag that hangs over the solemn space.

“I think a lot of people are scared to return,” said Raymond Lopez, a 26-year-old pre-health student at UVU.

https://www.sltrib.com/resizer/v2/3Z4L2ONYIREQ7KYJOQHJLQDBLE.JPG?auth=2e60d70f4d5e1d 15a8765639782f3dbcd30ec984f137023ff61bb0013c433089&height=500&quality=88

Wednesday marked the first day back for students at the Orem school, returning to a campus they say feels markedly different.

“It was really a tragedy for our community. This is our Happy Valley,” Lopez added. He sat on a purple couch near the campus entrance, holding a sign that offered free hugs, hoping to comfort his classmates.

Makeshift memorials to Kirk popped up in various spots, with smaller American flags, handmade drawings of Kirk, roses, carnations and boxes of fresh blueberries — which Kirk’s widow, Erika, has said were a family favorite. Chalk messages covered many of the sidewalks, noting, “Violence is not the answer.”

Some added more offerings to the growing piles. Others wiped away tears. One person whistled “The Star Spangled Banner.”

UVU President Astrid Tuminez said she wants those on campus “to feel what they need to feel” in the aftermath. She waved to students and hugged several.

“It will take time for everybody to feel that confidence again,” Tuminez said.

The school has added extra security officers from agencies across Utah County. Tens of squad cars surrounded the entrances to campus parking lots, and a uniformed officer walked in nearly every sightline.

One security guard paced around inside by the school’s wolverine statue, UVU’s mascot.

A message directing students to report anything they know to the FBI still appeared on digital screens on campus, where more than 46,000 students attend.

UVU is offering extended mental health resources for anyone who needs to talk. Signs pointed the direction to counselors, who will be available to students and employees each day this week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sorensen Center.

Tuminez, whose seven-year anniversary at the helm of the school is Thursday, said, “This is a time when the resources of this university will not be enough.”

The school is receiving additional help from the state health department and Wasatch Mental Health Services to add to its own battery of counselors.

The university has also set up 24 “care stations” across campus. At each, there are information sheets about responding to trauma and scannable QR codes to see additional options for help.

Those had first been set up during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep students informed, said Kyle Reyes, the school’s vice president for institutional advancement. The university has since kept the tables going at the start of each semester.

Now, Reyes says, they are there as students navigate a new normal.

“We’re doing our best to keep our ear to the ground for how students are feeling,” he said.

The school, he added, is focused on “a safe return” to campus. “We’re taking every precaution.”

Students said they felt some comfort seeing the extra officers and knowing there was help on hand.

“School has always been so safe, and this safe space was violated,” said Laila England, 18, a UVU student in emergency services.

She said returning to campus has been a blur. “My whole body’s been in fight-or-flight mode all day, from the moment I stepped off the train,” England added.

She stood at one of the makeshift memorials with her friends, Isabelle Bird and Caden Tomseth, also both 18.

Bird said she had a panic attack in her car before walking to class this morning. She called her mom and said, “I literally can’t do this.”

“It’s just a shaky, empty feeling returning,” Bird added.

Tomseth said he cried seeing all the tributes to Kirk. “He was a hero to me. He inspired me and so many others our age,” he said.

All three said they were glad to see students coming together, instead of divides deepening. One student handed out heart stickers in green, UVU’s school color.

Reyes said the university is ensuring there is flexibility for students who are feeling fearful about returning to campus, including extending when it’s OK to drop classes and letting professors give students more time to complete assignments.

In the fallout, too, Tuminez said she wants to harness the power of the university to teach students about healthy dialogue and discussion and “love being stronger than fear.”

“I don’t mean that as a line of poetry,” she said. “I mean it as a practice.”

Those skills, Tuminez said, include having a debate without turning to hate and learning “to expel extremism.” The president said she’s taken to heart the calls for unity from Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, who made a brief appearance on campus Wednesday.

“All I care about is you are American, you are Utahns,” Cox told one group of students who cheered when he was done speaking.

Madison Wheat, an 18-year-old UVU student studying sociology, welcomes that. She wrote a green-chalk message on a campus sidewalk that read: “Everything will be OK.”

Wheat had been at the Kirk event on Sept. 10 and pointed to the spot in the courtyard where she’d been standing, about 50 feet from Kirk.

“The day of the shooting, I realized anyone could choose to hurt you,” she said. “But in the following days, I learned anyone could choose to be kind to you. I think we should all choose to be kind.”

She said she felt braver Wednesday seeing her classmates also return to that place.

Archaeology student Caden Benson, 24, remembers hearing the gunshot, too, and running. He said he’s been reflecting on how he’d like the world to be.

“You don’t have to take that bad as if that’s how it should be,” he said.

The person charged in the shooting, Tyler James Robinson, allegedly told family members he disagreed with Kirk about LGBTQ+ topics. In a text after the shooting to his roommate, whom authorities say was in a “romantic relationship” with Robinson and who is transgender, Robinson allegedly wrote: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”

Robinson is currently being held at the Utah County jail without bail. Crime-scene tape that once wrapped around the Losee Center, where Robinson allegedly fired from, had since been taken down as employees began returning to their offices there.

Benson gathered with other students just beyond the closed courtyard to look down at where Kirk had spoken.

The school has since repaved the spot where Kirk spoke before he was shot. The university is also reviewing its security measures, Tuminez said, to see what it could have done better.

The courtyard will also reopen, in time, she said. “It’s all being informed by security expertise.”

For now, a small sign taped to one of the metal posts barring access read, “Smile despite the darkness.”

Nexstar ABC Affiliates To Preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Indefinitely Beginning Tonight

Company Objects to Talk Show Host’s Comments on Killing of Charlie Kirk

IRVING, TX (Sept. 17, 2025)—Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the company’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. “Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.”

ABC has pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off air indefinitely over comments he made about the shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely," a spokesperson for the Disney-owned network said in a statement to the BBC.
On Monday night's monologue, Kimmel said the "MAGA gang" was trying to score political points off Kirk's murder.
On Tuesday, a 22-year-old suspect appeared in court charged with aggravated murder over last Wednesday's shooting of the 31-year-old conservative influencer. Representatives for Kimmel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Kimmel said in his Monday night monologue: "The Maga Gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."
The late-night host, who has frequently been in the crosshairs of US President Donald Trump, also criticised flags being flown at half staff in honour of Kirk, and mocked the president's reaction to the shooting.
He spliced a clip of the president speaking with reporters about his reaction to Kirk's death, and redirecting to talk about a ballroom being built at the White House.
"He's at the fourth stage of grief," Kimmel said. "Construction. It's demolition, construction.
"This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a gold fish."
Also on Wednesday, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Brendan Carr, said on a podcast that Kimmel's remarks showed "the sickest conduct possible" as he urged Disney to take action.
"[Broadcasters] have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest," said Carr, a Trump-appointee.
"Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or, you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead," Carr told the Benny Show.
He noted that an apology from Kimmel would be a "very reasonable, minimal step".
The ABC announcement came just after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the US, Nexstar Media, said it would not air Jimmy Kimmel Live! "for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight's show".
Nexstar said on Wednesday evening that the comedian's remarks about Kirk "are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse".
"[W]e do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located," said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar's broadcasting division.
"Continuing to give Mr Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue."

Kimmel's comments:

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said on his Monday night show.

Kimmel also criticized Trump's mourning of Kirk, pointing to a video of Trump's comments on the White House lawn. "This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish," Kimmel said.


His comments are terrible, but FCC got involved and said they could take ABC's license, which might be why they made this decision. Not right.

Trump announces ‘sick, dangerous’ Antifa will be designated ‘a major terrorist organization’
https://nypost.com/2025/09/17/us-news/trump-announces-antifa-will-be-designated-a-major-terrorist-organization/

President Trump announced Wednesday that he will designate Antifa as a “MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION” and push for investigations of backers of the radical, left-wing group.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices,” the president added. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

it's an authoritarian battle over free speech. Soon the media landscape in America will be like Russia and thats not being alarmist

Our Federal institutions are political in nature and their policies are driven by the administrations they work under. Propaganda likes to talk of our institutions as supreme glorious entities of objectivity, but that's not true. Trump runs the Federal Govt, so there's no way around that. He gets at least some say in the agencies he overlooks by whom he appoints. Just as the past 3+ Presidents have tried pushing past the Legislative Branch with Executive Orders. (Edit: Modern Presidencies are fans of enacting through EOs and putting pressure on the Judicial Branch)

Neither of those issues are new and it became a problem as Congress started forfeiting their duties. Congress has the ability and the obligation to move things along with legislation and depressurize our political environment. Instead, they're keen to keep up the divisions and chat **** at cameras rather than make changes that would put more people at ease... now various branches have been getting directly more involved in the running of the individual States, which is also not how it's supposed to work. Frankly, I don't even think some of the people currently elected to serve know how the govt is meant to function, which is part of the problem.

The media is inflaming divisions and not being responsible with the people they're employing, but at the same time, there's not really much that can be done without legislation... the FCC is supposed to fill that role currently, so while that part is technically not wrong, that's a lot of power to be given to basically an un-elected agency.

"Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2] "

We declare terrorist organizations all the time. The KKK is labeled a terrorist group and various militia fall under this category when they run afoul with the law. "Army of God" (https://newreligiousmovements.org/a/army-of-god/), a Christian terrorist group, is known for attacking people who support abortions. Antifa are no different than any of the others mentioned, especially as they tried to skirt the law by acting as a militia.

The main point of labeling them a terrorist organization is so that if another institution or agency runs into them, the Federal govt has set clear guidelines for dealing with them. A public agency is more likely to be informed by the FBI, etc, if they're active in that area. Smaller agencies work with the FBI all the time in this way to try to keep an eye on problems local to their area. So basically, it just puts them on the formal map for monitoring. They still have the same rights as other American citizens...

What Does a "Terrorist" Designation Mean? (TLDR: It's very complicated)
https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what-does-terrorist-designation-mean

Other groups:

No Lives Matter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Lives_Matter

No Lives Matter (NLM) is a misanthropic, neo-Nazi online hate group that advocates for violence, terrorism and the destruction of humanity. Its core principles are radical nihilism and antihumanism. The organization gained notoriety for its actions in the form of attacks.[2] NLM also released violent manifestos explaining their philosophy, as well as advice on assault and murder.[2][1][3] The name "No Lives Matter" is a reference to the Black Lives Matter movement.[4]

Edit:
On 21 August 2024, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness released a threat assessment. According to the report, NLM is "[...] looking for more soldiers to join our ranks, true misanthropic individuals" and they "only accept people that do irl [in real life] action". One precondition for acceptance into NLM is the practice of self harm in the form of "[...] deep bloody cuts that represent us [NLM]".[1]

The FBI arrested a man from Virginia on 17 December 2024 and confiscated 150 explosive devices, most of which were pipe bombs. They were stored in a backpack with a "#NoLivesMatter" patch attached to it. There was no evidence that he was associated with the No Lives Matter organization.[7][8]

Terrorgram
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorgram

Terrorgram (sometimes stylized in all caps)[2] is a far-right, decentralized network of Telegram channels and accounts that subscribe to or promote militant accelerationism. Terrorgram channels are neo-fascist in ideology, and regularly share instructions and manuals on how to carry out hate crimes, mass shootings and target critical infrastructure and even lists of potential targets. Terrorgram is a key communications forum for individuals and networks attached to Atomwaffen Division, The Base, and other explicit militant accelerationist groups.

He can still say whatever he wants. It's just broadcasters have decided they don't want to platform him. Tucker was fired for his views iirc and since then he has gone independent and he's doing better now.

What were doing is insanity because yes absolute free speech for tv... But at this rate why not throw up everyone including a few far right nationalists. Let them host a few shows as well and promote their thoughts. It will headline every single night but the ratings will be a disaster. But that's already the reality for most of these shows. They keep pushing their content further and further to the fringes. The public don't want it.

FCC involvement/not involvement aside, the point was to cancel someone with terrible value (in ratings) whilest sending the message to others to "Knock it Off". Fox could kill off a few more as well because I find it unwatchable with the permanent outrage of their hosts. So much of our TV is an unwatchable mess. MSNBC is bad enough they are getting a name change because their owners don't want it under the NBC banner anymore. It all sucks. Sorry, but not sorry.

When I had Cable, I used to just pick a news channel that pissed me off the least during each cycle when trying to follow elections/important events but most all of it was mindrot. Late night is influenced by that format now and it's very sad. I very rarely laugh at most entertainment shows now as they are all terrible.

…I honestly had no knowledge of Charlie Kirk at all before he was murdered…(…I did have a vague knowledge of Turning Point as an organisation…)…and there is so much that he’s quoted as saying that completely contrasts my own thoughts/beliefs …and I do believe, as you say Niamh…that ‘activism’ on both and all sides is motivated by income as well…I’ve watched some of Charlie Kirk’s debates since his death just to get an idea of who he was and why so controversial…and I’m still kind of mulling through those but one thing that does strike me as a huge positive about him…is while he was debating and talking with people of so many different views and lifestyles to his own…?…he was relating to them and with them with a level of ‘human understanding’ that maybe he was also learning to be more tolerant…? He took time to talk to people, to debate with them…to auestion them and to be questioned himself and to show a level of real human interest….


….anyways, I think in a way that he maybe showed more human interest than has been shown since his death by many on all sides and all angles because I do feel that so many agendas have come into play or out to play since his murder…it’s sad really also and distasteful because he was more than a political type identity and figure…people are so much more layered than that and people who disagreed vehemently with so much that was his mindset, still listened to him and told ‘their story’ to him so they must have attached to some positive lights in him also…I mean, positive even in their challenging eyes and challenging minds…

More misinformation - he was repying to a question where the person asking was dictating a narrative

"The 31-year-old, who was speaking at a university rally in Utah, responded to a question from an audience member who asked: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”

Mr Kirk responded “too many”, which resulted in some cheers from the crowd. After the individual said there had been five, they then asked the conservative political activist how many mass shootings there had been in the US in the last decade."Uttering his last words, Mr Kirk asked: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

It's weird that we know Charlie believed that some loss of life is worth it to protect the 2nd Amendment, but when it came to trans shooters there were "too many"....

Though this was a man that said trans people were an abomination, that gay people shouldn't marry or be able to adopt, insinuated homosexuality was "an error" while also likening homosexuality to addiction by comparing pride to like 'affirming a drug addict' -- so if Charlie didn't hate LGBT people, I'm not sure what I'd want to hear from him about those he does.

Benny Johnson: Time for the Right to learn how to Fight:

This is the Story of How Jimmy Kimmel was Ripped Off-Air…

What Jimmy Kimmel said about Charlie Kirk is indefensible. It made us all angry. But how do we channel that righteous anger into something productive?

We must focus, isolate the enemy and apply swift, immense tactical pressure.

Mean tweets are great. But they can be ignored. What can’t be ignored are your paying customers organizing against you and FCC investigations. That is exactly what we did.

First thing: ABC is not just another cable channel. ABC operates under a special Federal Broadcast License that lavishes them with taxpayer-funded privileges on the condition that their programming is “fair and equal” and in the “public interest.”

The FCC regulates this license, so my team immediately booked the FCC Chairman
brendanCarrFCC
on The Benny Show. Chairman Carr put Disney on notice that they were going to have to defend Kimmel’s sick lies about Charlie’s death before the FCC. We made them defend the indefensible. Make them eat it.

Then my team contacted ABC, Disney and local station owners all day. This is key. ABC creates the programming BUT privately owned local affiliates choose to broadcast the programming — or not. They have the power.

There are hundreds of stations with moral, patriotic audiences who love Charlie Kirk and are sickened by Kimmel. We asked these broadcast affiliates why they would continue to carry such indefensible programming by ABC? To their great credit, Nexstar and Sinclair, two massive ABC affiliates that reach 37 million households told us they were pulling Kimmel out of respect for their viewers.

A historic moment. Can’t think of another time that has been done.

This is the free market. Kimmel chose to attack Kirk. Viewers chose to not watch Kimmel. If local viewers turn off Kimmel en-masse the local stations have catastrophic loss in ad revenue and the system collapses. Drop an FCC investigation on top of that and Disney has no choice but to rip the toxic programming from the air.

This is a generational culture war victory.

Charlie always knew how to Fight and Win. We are the majority. When Republicans organize and unite for a common cause we are unstoppable.

Let’s unite in this moment and win.
For Charlie 👊🏼🇺🇸

[On Trans people] “These people are sick,” he said, speaking about trans folks in 2023 on The Charlie Kirk Show. “I don’t say that lightly.” He went on to say he blamed “the decline of American men” on trans people. “Someone should’ve just took care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and 60s.”

“It’s a spiritual war and Christians don’t know how to respond to this. We must react politically, we must ban trans affirming care, the entire country,”

“We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor,” Kirk said in 2024, referring to the joint tribunal that tried Nazis for atrocities committed during World War II. “We need it immediately.”

“How do you love somebody?” he said in an episode of Thought Crime. “You love them so much to correct their error. Let’s just take the pride conversation out because people think it’s an identification, which it’s not. It’s just sexual behavior. If you meet an alcoholic or you meet a drug addict, do you affirm their struggle? No, you’re better than this. Let’s get you free from that activity.”

Kirk regularly posted about the “LGBTQ agenda,” and regularly derided brands, such as Disney, that included LGBTQ+ people into its stories. He even advocated for the destruction of public displays of pride flags. Kirk also massively pushed for the bankruptcy of Target in the backlash to their support of Pride month. (Oop)

Benny Johnson: Time for the Right to learn how to Fight:

This is the Story of How Jimmy Kimmel was Ripped Off-Air…

What Jimmy Kimmel said about Charlie Kirk is indefensible. It made us all angry. But how do we channel that righteous anger into something productive?

We must focus, isolate the enemy and apply swift, immense tactical pressure.

Mean tweets are great. But they can be ignored. What can’t be ignored are your paying customers organizing against you and FCC investigations. That is exactly what we did.

First thing: ABC is not just another cable channel. ABC operates under a special Federal Broadcast License that lavishes them with taxpayer-funded privileges on the condition that their programming is “fair and equal” and in the “public interest.”

The FCC regulates this license, so my team immediately booked the FCC Chairman
brendanCarrFCC
on The Benny Show. Chairman Carr put Disney on notice that they were going to have to defend Kimmel’s sick lies about Charlie’s death before the FCC. We made them defend the indefensible. Make them eat it.

Then my team contacted ABC, Disney and local station owners all day. This is key. ABC creates the programming BUT privately owned local affiliates choose to broadcast the programming — or not. They have the power.

There are hundreds of stations with moral, patriotic audiences who love Charlie Kirk and are sickened by Kimmel. We asked these broadcast affiliates why they would continue to carry such indefensible programming by ABC? To their great credit, Nexstar and Sinclair, two massive ABC affiliates that reach 37 million households told us they were pulling Kimmel out of respect for their viewers.

A historic moment. Can’t think of another time that has been done.

This is the free market. Kimmel chose to attack Kirk. Viewers chose to not watch Kimmel. If local viewers turn off Kimmel en-masse the local stations have catastrophic loss in ad revenue and the system collapses. Drop an FCC investigation on top of that and Disney has no choice but to rip the toxic programming from the air.

This is a generational culture war victory.

Charlie always knew how to Fight and Win. We are the majority. When Republicans organize and unite for a common cause we are unstoppable.

Let’s unite in this moment and win.
For Charlie 👊🏼🇺🇸


Fake news I am afraid, Kimmel didn't say anything negative about Kirk. He said he death was senseless and that celebrating was vile.

Also the right already know how to right, remember there are far more deaths and violence at the hands of the right than the left as proven by stats and even the National Institute of Justice (which Trump's team have since hidden so here it is again for you: https://web.archive.org/web/20250911164523/https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/what-nij-research-tells-us-about-domestic-terrorism

If I'm honest, I think that's your own bias in coming to that conclusion. Broadcast media used to self-censor within very reasonable limits. Late night never used to go out of its way to insult half its market. In fact, late night used to be one of the safer options for avoiding dealing with the more difficult aspects of tough news topics so while yes, it was comedy, but it was very tasteful comedy within the tolerances of most Americans. Our media used to also sanitize certain material out when importing from other markets (across the world), including things that came out of the BBC. In the past decade or so a lot of that has changed to see what could be gotten through, so if anything, it's the media testing the boundaries.

There are numerous examples of the same phenomenon on the right wing. People like to make big points about how "the other side" is always doing one thing or another... and yet never actually viscerally seem to absorb that they're also participating in what perpetuates it, which is to keep people upset and campaigning for celebrities/politicians for free. These people are scored based on how many comments are written about them and obviously "hating on them" is not a deterrent, if it builds their profiles up, so they're encouraged to keep this pattern up to farm donations... I get emails ALL THE TIME in my spam mail acct from politicians when there is some event they want to politicize, that my "so and so" is being taken away—oh nooo, so they're demanding even more money from me.

https://nypost.com/2025/09/18/media/jimmy-kimmels-ratings-were-slipping-before-abc-suspended-him-for-charlie-kirk-comments/

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was bleeding viewers before Disney-owned ABC pulled the plug and suspended him for his comments on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Nielsen data showed sharp summer declines and a year-long slide that leaves him trailing late-night rivals such as Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld and CBS star Stephen Colbert.

According to monthly Nielsen figures, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” dropped to just 1.1 million total viewers in August 2025, down 43% from January’s 1.95 million. His August household rating of 0.35 marked the weakest showing of the year.

Now run that alongside ITV's numbers for BBUK...

Charlie Kirk suspect's trans lover was kicked out of family home for disturbing behavior, relative claims
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15110985/charlie-kirk-suspect-trans-lover-family-robinson-twiggs.html

The lover of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin 'hated' his family and had been kicked out of his parents' home for addiction and substance abuse, according to new claims.

A relative of Lance Twiggs said that he was living with murder suspect Tyler Robinson after his relationship with family deteriorated and he became 'detached [and] radicalized'.

The relative, speaking anonymously, said Twiggs had been struggling with gender identity, substance abuse problems, and was addicted to video games.

'[His father] thought he wasn’t being respectful and was problematic, so they kicked him out,' Twiggs' relative revealed in an interview with Fox News.

'He then lived with [his grandparents] until he was 18 and graduated from high school'.

'But the real reason he was acting out was because he was using drugs and alcohol, and was addicted to gaming,' she added.

In a separate interview, an anonymous relative told Fox News that Twiggs developed a 'hatred' for Christians and conservatives.

'He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized,' the relative said.

The relative added that Twiggs was 'always angry' and his behavior got worse over the last few years.

They also speculated that Twiggs may've influenced Robinson's politics during their time living together.

'I think Tyler got a whole lot worse in the year they have been dating. They are big gamers, and obviously they have that group that influences them as well as others. But my gut tells me [Twiggs] did more of the influencing,' they said.

Thanks for posting, I have enjoyed your contributions to this thread, Maru. They've been very thoughtful and balanced and rational. :)

I think he's deliberately underplaying that the reason JK was fired was because of the FCC and that's where people have the problem. It's Government overreach and by his initial definition at the start, it does go against the 1st Amendment because it the silence was led by the Government.

No, he keeps posting tweets/snippets that say JK was cancelled because of him saying awful stuff about CK even though it isn't true. A few of us have corrected him multiple times now...

I was asking you because you were the one who said you'd never trust anything Glenn said again because of posting fake news and I was just wondering if you were holding CD to the same standard even though he keeps knowingly misrepresenting the truth and has done many times on this thread, even away from the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

No one should be trusting any one on the internet and rarely anyone in real life

Thanks for posting, I have enjoyed your contributions to this thread, Maru. They've been very thoughtful and balanced and rational. :)

I think he's deliberately underplaying that the reason JK was fired was because of the FCC and that's where people have the problem. It's Government overreach and by his initial definition at the start, it does go against the 1st Amendment because it the silence was led by the Government.

Still blown away some by the stark contrast to the 'Free Speech Rally' thread and this one. I get whiplash if I move between threads too quickly. :joker:

…Jimmy Kimmel Is someone else that I’m really not familiar with very much at all…he’s a TV host/comedian and some of his remarks and humour or whatever is very politically based and centred…?…I can’t imagine how many sackings and firings and cancelling etc there should have been from Have I Got News For You over the years, in a similar vein…

And it should be in real life aswell because those that use the internet also lie in real life and vice/versa

It’s no more believable if they are on the internet or standing in front of you

Well they did use the word allegedly in most cases and in most other cases what they said as a joke was actually true

it's a much bigger story going on behind it all. The company behind a lot of the local tv stations wants a 6billion deal to take over another local tv station company, but if they did the takeover it would break competion rules. So, the FCC basically put it to the company that if they put pressure on ABC to take Kimmel off the air, they would look favourably on them breaking competition rules

…yeah, the ‘real story’ is generally a lot more layered with things like this because I suspect, just as Charlie Kirk was said to be controversial…Jimmy Kimmel and his style, could have equally have courted controversy for so many things over so long…and obviously is a very, very well known celebrity figure in the US, with a huge following I presume…?…so when a decision is made so swiftly and immediately to take his show off air ‘indefinitely’….without lapping all of the publicity involved first in any decision etc…?…that’s a very measured and very layered decision that was not made from any wording on one show…that has just presented an opportunity that seems was always deemed to be a goal or outcome…?…

This is Perry Sook of Nexstar Media Grpup. He’s responsible for canceling Jimmy Kimmel.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and
insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not
believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local
communities in which we are located,” Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s
broadcasting division, said in a statement.

I like how all the furpeople are all different kinds of animals like wolves and raccoons, and they're like "This is who we actually are"... then how come y'all aren't mauling/hunting each other.

I hear they did a test run (literally) with this furindividual. Seems they're quite happy in a natural environment, especially wherever the cameras were involved.

I'm fine if they want to tone down the crazy, but they have to do this equally and there has to be a policy... their field plan can't just be "go with the whims of X" on any given day...

No murder is normal, but unfortunately as those stats have shown, thanks to the right-wing extremists murder has been normalised. Sad times really.
