The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

I don't care if Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton or Jesus Christ himself is implicated in the Epstein files. Anyone who committed such crimes should burn. I believe that because I'm not in a cult.
