Reminds me of that song title “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore.”

must have fallen off when he was picking up speed before ramming the church. Another armed-to-the-teeth right-wing loony "making a statement."

(and yes, I do get that you were joking.)

But aren’t all pickups driven by the radical right black in color? With ‘truck nuts’ under the back bumper? And an overfowing ash tray?

…just like their owners.

I do not know if Robinson, the shooter, himself was a practicing Mormon as an adult.

maga's infighting?

Maybe we should take everything with a grain of salt and let the facts come out?

2013 Silverado.

Its not far enough into the wall to do any good.

Nevertheless, I understand that everything is foggy so early on after an event of this nature.

I'm asking because there are people on this thread saying that it was a first responder.

The first being on the extent of the fire. Wasn't there an operable sprinkler system? That's quite a conflagration from a truck hitting a wall.
The second is how the truck could have reasonably be expected to penetrate the brick wall. The roadway in the foreground is not in a direct line with the area targeted, and involved going against the one-way traffic markers. Then there doesn't appear to be a tearing up of the grass or marks on the curb. It seems there would have to be some type of incendiary device introduced into the building.

Veered right and headed right to the church

I think he's been veering right for a long time

I'm not sure of incendiary devices, though. It could have been something as simple as an old-fashioned Molotov cocktail.

Our side doesn't control the machinery of repression or of "law" enforcement. We don't have the ability to make policy on the "cracking down on domestic terrorism". They do, and are actively using it to target their political opponents (us), which is not something our side has ever done.

It's completely valid for us to point out when perpetrators of violence don't fit the regime's narrative.

Not very urban, but I wouldn’t call it rural. Grand Blanc used to be the very affluent suburb of Flint before GM closed the majority of the plants, still nice, but not the same. Rural doesn’t come to mind. I grew up in Flint, and still have family in the area. Know it well.

The other had that blue fascist thin blue line.

As the New Orleans and Las Vegas. The guy who shot up the seafood restaurant. Another 40 yr old combat veteran. He tried to sue the government over straight white men genocide.

Yup.

Into a symbol of hatred, intolerance and violence. Damn them.

If the Mormons were wise, they’d reconsider any ties they have to the Extreme Right. The Saints were widely persecuted in the mid—19 th century, and despite wishful thinking on the part of many LDS’ers and their leadership, the bigotry and hate directed at them way back when may have dwindled from what it once was, but it hasn’t died out. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s abrupt departure from this mortal plane, those voices of hatred and religious bigotry are beginning to be heard again. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Mormons soon find themselves seated next to Muslims on the Radical Right’s hate list. Then they can relive their forebears’ persecution and calumny.
