The degree to which the algorithm on this platform is pushing video of the shooting is incredibly disturbing. There has to be some human that can turn the dial down in a situation like this.

After reviewing various social media platforms, its quite shocking to see how prevalent/amplified the shooting video appears to be here vs. elsewhere. Especially in light of what we know about shooters often looking for glorification & attention in these cases.

The first images we've seen of the suspected shooter of Charlie Kirk. Law enforcement say they've recovered the weapon & have a high-quality video which shows the shooter navigating his way on and off campus. Police say they've received more than 130 tips from the community.

For folks just learning about Charlie Kirk & his influence w/in the GOP this week, Donald Trump Jr. on Megyn Kelly today called him the "most important player" of 2024 cycle. "I think he single handedly won Arizona for us, probably Michigan, probably Wisconsin as well."

FBI Director Kash Patel: "To my friend Charlie Kirk: rest now brother, we have the watch. I’ll see you in Valhalla.” This mention, rather than "heaven," is notable. Norse symbols and references to Valhalla are frequently made amongst right wing extremists / white supremacists.

Utah Governor Cox: "I hear all the time that words are violence, words are not violence. Violence is violence." "One person is responsible for what happened here, and that person is now in custody and will be charged soon and will be held accountable."
