Don’t forget the rap music the kids are listening too these days. /tipperThis shows the generational split between the shooter and law enforcement. To law enforcement, it's a crime. To the shooter, this is a video game.
Here's the story you're referencing. The phrase comes from the video game Helldivers2:
Gamers Claim Writing on Bullet Casings in Charlie Kirk Shooting Are From Helldivers 2 Video Game
While little is known about Tyler Robinson, the lone suspect in the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, he appears to have been an avid gamer.www.mediaite.com
Parents are concerned about social media. They believe it's "radicalizing" our youth. They totally ignore video games. Where do these young men get the idea that using guns to kill people is a game? From video games. I watch these boys play these games and it's not cops and robbers. The goal is to kill. This young shooter achieved the goal. He's a good shot. He hit his target at 200 yards with one bullet. He has no idea what he's done.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live

The gun used was a vintage German Mauser, a bolt-action rifle used in both world wars and found in many American grandfathers' and great-grandfathers' attics. It's also an effective hunting rifle and is used as such to this day, which makes its inclusion in any gun control legislation problematic.

Charlie Kirk assassin's alleged gun was powerful, vintage and hard to trace
Former federal agents fear the potential for other would-be assassins to seek out widely available, decades-old firearms that require only basic proficiency to hit distant targets.

True too but then again we have to wait for a similar type petition to hit WABC-TV because ABC News and the View is filmed there. I agree Jimmy Kimmel does not have an FCC License. All of this is to make the management of Disney panic from Bob Iger to all the way to the GM’s of the ABC owned stations. Then again Disney’s legal team will resolve this with the FCC.

Sinclair pulls Charlie Kirk documentary from schedule of ABC affiliates
Sinclair pulled a documentary on Charlie Kirk from the schedule of its ABC affiliates on Friday, opting to air "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.
thedesk.net
Here is an update Sinclair owned ABC affiliates pulls the Charlie Kirk special from their stations.
Instead they ran Celebrity Family Feud, fed to them by ABC. That way, they fulfill their affiliation contract with ABC.
They could have preempted it, but there would probably be too much backlash at them if they aired that in Kimmel's spot.
They literally said they were no longer (or at least until Kimmel accedes to their ransom demands, prior to ABC’s action under threat from the FCC. “Backlash” was not their concern. And whatever the reasoning behind taking a Family Feud rerun, backlash over bumping that filler material wouldn’t be on the list.
No it doesn't. A bolt action rifle will melt down and can be made into bike racks or playground equipment just like any other gun.The gun used was a vintage German Mauser, a bolt-action rifle used in both world wars and found in many American grandfathers' and great-grandfathers' attics.

They’ll just fire the investigators until they get the results they want. (See also: the forcing out of the prosecutor who found no wrongdoing and would not charge Letitia James with a non-existent crime. See also: firing the BLS administrator who published numbers displeasing to the toddler king. See also: the firing of the head of the CDC who refused to acquiesce to the crackpot demands of the lunatic HHS secretary. See a pattern yet?)Shocker:

I think you can reasonably assume that, despite Sinclair's own business concerns, they heard from people who watched Kimmel on their stations as well as non-Kimmel viewers who had issues with an hour on Charlie Kirk. I think Sinclair's attorneys probably had some heartburn over the idea as well, given that there'd be a flood of requests for equal time to rebut either controversial positions espoused by Kirk in the special or Sinclair glossing over the same.
Put it on YouTube and that all goes away.
Which means they're doing exactly what Kimmel says they're doing. Which is why they're angry at him.

Those of us who support responsible gun ownership for personal protection and hunting would object as well. A 30-06 is a deer rifle. Tyler Robinson misused the weapon and committed murder with it.
JFK was killed with a bolt-action rifle. So was Martin Luther King (also a 30-06). RFK (Sr.) was shot with a .22 caliber pistol.
Bad people will do bad things with legal weapons. You'll never end that. My concern is combat weapons that shouldn't be legal that take out dozens of people at once in schools, shopping malls and other public places.
Since it seems pertinent to the greater discussion of the shooter's motives -- which have a bearing on the propriety versus impropriety of Kimmel's words, anyone have any thoughts on this?

Accused shooter’s “politics” is not what government and media say

I'm going to reject the whole framing of "if you aren't 100% Trump you're a Dem/Lib/Socialist. I'm done being dehumanized and made a one-dimensional cartoon character and "the other" by MAGA. I'm fortunate to have my white card, others Holy Martyr Who May Not Be Criticized Or You're Doxxed and Fired dehumanized aren't so lucky.
