They got him.

Charlie Kirk's assassin has been arrested.  

The suspect is a 22-year old Utah native who had only recently become "more political," including expressing his disdain for Kirk. How it got to the point where the alleged shooter wanted to murder him hasn't been made clear as yet. By all accounts, the young man grew up in a stable household with both parents being registered Republicans (as an aside, that's all progs needed to hear to convince themselves that the alleged shooter was too a Republican). So how is it that things can go off the rails so quickly and dramatically? 

Adam Carolla hosts a terrific podcast, usually for hilarity's sake. But here, in the immediate aftermath of Kirk's death, he shares pearls of wisdom on how young people can get to such a dark place.

I still recall progs' reaction to the shooting incident in Tucson, AZ back in early 2011, the one which killed multiple people and seriously wounded then Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Leftists and their media allies worked overtime to blame "right wing rhetoric" for motivating the gunman to do what he did. Unless the political left are willing to be introspective over their hyperbolic proclamations that President Donald Trump and anyone associated with him are "fascists," then odds are close to 100% that additional assassination attempts on prominent right wingers will continue.
