Correct. (or near enough. Painless operation.)

Apparently it was his father, a 30 year veteran Utah cop who turned him in.

I have started this topic becauseit it has been taking over the Trump topiv. BREAKING: MAGA world flies into panic mode as the grandmother of Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin Tyler Robinson reveals that his entire family is hardcore MAGA. The Republican narrative has collapsed in record time... “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat," the suspect's grandmother Debbie Robinson told The Daily Mail. “I’m just so confused. [Tyler] is the shyest person. He has never, ever spoke politics to me at all," she added. The Daily Beast reported that both of Robinson's parents are registered Republicans who hold hunting licenses. They appear to be run-of-the-mill conservative gun nuts. In the immediate aftermath of Kirk's assassination, Republicans rushed to blame Democrats. Donald Trump pointed a finger at the "radical left" and MAGA influencers, including Donald Trump Jr., gleefully embraced the false narrative that the shooter was transgender. We now know that the alleged shooter was a 22-year-old white Mormon man from Utah. It seems increasingly likely that he was a far-right supporter of the white nationalist Nick Fuentes. The engravings on the bullets found appear to be references to memes popular within Fuentes's "groyper" movement. Groypers despised Charlie Kirk because he wasn't right-wing enough for their taste and they believe that he sold out the "America First" movement. One bullet was engraved with the phrase “Hey fascist! Catch!" but it does not appear to be a left-wing "antifa" message as Republicans originally claimed. Instead, it seems to be a reference to a satirical slogan in the popular video game Helldivers 2. Video games are a crucial cornerstone of the bizarre groyper worldview, along with misogyny and racism. In the coming days we will no doubt learn more about this twisted shooter and his hateful beliefs but we cannot allow Republicans to slink away without taking responsibility for their lies. Yesterday, they were promising now civil war. Now that it appears the shooter was one of their own, they want to move on. We must hold them accountable. The shooter is not transgender, is not a Democrat, and is not an immigrant. He's an unstable homegrown white man with access to firearms. America's gun violence problem is a Republican problem.

Eons ago, when cable TV first came out, Optus TV broadcast the VFL footy (pre AFL). My younger son was a dead keen Richmond Tigers supporter (still is), so we got Optus cable TV so he could watch the footy. If you had an Optus account, you could get free Optus webmail accounts. So I got two, my wife, two sons and daughter got one each. The footy is now on Foxtel, but my daughter has an Optus mobile wi-fi device she uses with her iPad when she is at a sport event or travelling on the train, so she can watch things like F1 racing etc. The account was still in my name from all those years ago, but she had a problem with her password and tried to change it. To do this required one of those one-time codes, but she didn't know where it was sent. The phone on the account was mine, so the code should have been texted to that. But I never received it so she couldn't access her email. She had ordered tickets to the finals and to the F1 Gp which were sent to her email, but she couldn't access them. She eventually got onto someone in their customer service call centre, but they needed to speak to me as account holder to OK things. To cut a very long story short, we decided to transfer the account into her name but to do that proved more uphill than climbing Mt Everest. My hearing is totally shot. Trying to listen to something is like listening down a vacuum cleaner hose. The call centre is in India, so the accents are hard to listen to for most people, but with my codition, it was near impossible. The other problem was that when then called us back, it was at a time we were travelling home, or I was trying to listen to the news, usually around 6:30 pm. Ans despite being told on at least 3 occasions to call my daughters phone, they rang mine, and we were often nowhere near one another. Finally (hopefully), we got it sorted out tonight, after over half an hour and at least three sepearte calls on two phones. The operator was pleasant and patient, but the customer service would hardly rate a 3 out of 10 due to foreign accent, particularly for a senior like me. I explained I was extremely deaf and used the phone more for texting than talking. Why can't they have Australian call centres and operators?

That's frightening.

I have no idea. Nev, what are the missing letters, and what phrase does that create? Sorry, I've been trying to sort out a problem with some of our email accounts with an Indian call centre. It's been going on for 4 days.

Partly, Nev.

Correct.

Here is a full quote of what Charlie Kirk said about guns and the Second Amendment: AUDIENCE QUESTION: How's it going, Charlie? I'm Austin. I just had a question related to Second Amendment rights. We saw the shooting that happened recently and a lot of people are upset. But, I'm seeing people argue for the other side that they want to take our Second Amendment rights away. How do we convince them that it's important to have the right to defend ourselves and all that good stuff? CHARLIE KIRK: Yeah, it's a great question. Thank you. So, I'm a big Second Amendment fan but I think most politicians are cowards when it comes to defending why we have a Second Amendment. This is why I would not be a good politician, or maybe I would, I don't know, because I actually speak my mind. The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government. And if that talk scares you — "wow, that's radical, Charlie, I don't know about that" — well then, you have not really read any of the literature of our Founding Fathers. Number two, you've not read any 20th-century history. You're just living in Narnia. By the way, if you're actually living in Narnia, you would be wiser than wherever you're living, because C.S. Lewis was really smart. So I don't know what alternative universe you're living in. You just don't want to face reality that governments tend to get tyrannical and that if people need an ability to protect themselves and their communities and their families. Now, we must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty. Driving comes with a price. 50,000, people die on the road every year. That's a price. You get rid of driving, you'd have 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving — speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, services — is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road. So we need to be very clear that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. You could significantly reduce them through having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools. We should have a honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one. You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe. So then, how do you reduce? Very simple. People say, oh, Charlie, how do you stop school shootings? I don't know. How did we stop shootings at baseball games? Because we have armed guards outside of baseball games. That's why. How did we stop all the shootings at airports? We have armed guards outside of airports. How do we stop all the shootings at banks? We have armed guards outside of banks. How did we stop all the shootings at gun shows? Notice there's not a lot of mass shootings at gun shows, there's all these guns. Because everyone's armed. If our money and our sporting events and our airplanes have armed guards, why don't our children?

Not this time mate.

Going well, Nev.

Correct.

Correct.

Correct OT.

No.

You forgot the FOR (four). - For old times sake.

Foot in the door.

Here is a still from a video of Charlie Kirk throwing MAGA hats into the crowd shortly before he was shot. He was a gun fanatic and is on record as saying "So what if a few people get killed, as long as we can keep our guns." Read the signage on the gazebo he was using in his address. I guess someone did. Yes, it's sad that two little girls will grow up without a dad, but play with fire, you're bound to get burned. Despite the adulation being showered on him, he wasn't a good man.
