The shocking news of the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk (assassination is too antiseptic a word to characterize the brutal gunning down of a 31-year-old husband and father of two whose only offense was speaking out on social issues in opposition to the self-anointed elites who have seized control of American institutions) has raised serious questions about the future of our nation. Unlike most assassinations, Charlie Kirk was a “civilian,” not an officeholder or candidate. The only comparable case I can think of was the shooting of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was also the leader of a grassroots movement.

Questions have arisen with the release of additional information. First, while firearms experts say that hitting a target at 200 yards with a 30.06 rifle equipped with a scope isn’t difficult, especially firing at a downward angle from a roof (one even claimed his 12-year-old son could do it), so that the shooter didn’t need to be a skilled marksman, other aspects of the case suggest that it was a coordinated effort involving more than one person. For example, the unlicensed rifle was dropped off in a towel at a predetermined location. More disquieting, as reported by American Liberty News on September 15 is that the evidence at least admits the possibility of involvement by Antifa, the Left’s “military wing” in the same sense that the Irish Republican Army was the military wing of Sinn Fein. Among the details cited in the article were:

It is rather incongruous that Tyler Robinson, a supposed lone wolf shooter, would send Discord messages using language such as “drop off point” and “watching the area,” which sound more like intelligence jargon rather than an adolescent chatting with friends. And the phrase “watching the area” indicates that someone else would either retrieve the weapon or at least keep an eye on it.

As American Liberty News noted, “Robinson did not spring from nowhere. His online footprint, including the engraving of bullet casings with phrases like ‘Bella Ciao’ and ‘Hey fascist! Catch!’ situates him squarely within the cultural milieu of antifa. ‘Bella Ciao’ is an anthem of European communists and anarchists, adopted by Antifa networks worldwide. It is not a slogan an average young man would casually inscribe.

Likewise, ‘Hey fascist! Catch’ is an unmistakable taunt drawn from antifa rhetoric about confronting conservatives. These are ideological markers, and they reflect immersion in a subculture that valorizes violence against figures like Charlie Kirk.”

Indeed, since Robinson was ten years old, left-wing Democrats have been calling publicly for violence against President Trump, Charlie Kirk, and others. Their task has been made easier by a popular culture now so inured to violence that in Charlotte, NC a black man with a history of 14 arrests who had........
