The Charlotte Observer reported Thursday morning that Charlie Rock, a football communications coordinator, had been let go in the wake of the post, citing a source. “The views expressed by our employees are their own and do not represent those of the Carolina Panthers. We do not condone violence of any kind. We are taking this matter very seriously and have accordingly addressed it with the individual,” the Panthers said in...

As I'm typing this I can barely see the words. It's in a very faint grayscale. Is something gone wrong with Free Republic or is it something gone wrong with my computer? Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.

With six stitches across his cheek, Richard Catrone’s face was still bloodied and bandaged when he spoke to NBC New York. The 67-year-old is in pain, but thankful he was not more seriously hurt when his neighbor fired a flare gun in his face. The attack was captured on home security video. It shows Catrone walking his dog on a leash outside his apartment when 76-year-old Kathleen Schuman comes out of her apartment, a few doors down. Seconds later she fires the flare gun, hitting him in the face. The flare can be seen bouncing off his cheek as he...

The rifle used to kill Charlie Kirk has allegedly been recovered, authorities announced Thursday, and chilling messages allegedly inscribed on some of its ammunition are giving investigators a clue about what may have motivated the shooter. Internal communications by the U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms appear to reveal notes taken by officials who immediately responded to the killing of Kirk, 31, on the campus of Utah Valley University near Salt Lake City. Within hours, they reported discovering the long-barreled hunting rifle, which was fired “from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus.”...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a dig at President Donald Trump on Tuesday for using his office for personal gain. Clinton quoted an X post from Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), who accused Trump and his family of corruption, citing the reported $5 billion fortune from World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, a $400 million plane from Qatar and deals with Amazon and CBS. "Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries. Corruption, plain and simple," Casar said. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T...

Stephen Miller is the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor in both of President Trump's administrations. He is outstanding. @StephenM @WhiteHouse There is an ideology that has steadily been growing in this country which hates everything that is good, righteous and beautiful and celebrates everything that is warped, twisted and depraved. It is an ideology at war with family and nature. It is envious, malicious, and soulless. It is an ideology that looks upon the perfect family with bitter rage while embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth. Its adherents organize constantly to tear down and...

An elderly man arrested during the chaotic aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination has been identified as Utah political activist George Zinn. The 71-year-old Utah resident was initially suspected of being the shooter as he was taken into custody moments after Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley College on Wednesday. --snip-- Separate footage showed Zinn barking back at the crowd to 'shoot me', and a cop at the scene was heard saying 'he said he shot him, but I don't know', per the Salt Lake Tribune. After it became clear that Zinn was not...

Now, you'll note immediately the key word that Trump just used there, a key term that opens up all kinds of legal possibilities for Trump to crush the left. What did he call what the left is doing? This murderous violence. What word did he use? You heard it. Terrorism. Declaring what the left is doing in our nation terrorism is absolutely essential for Trump to use all means necessary to eradicate it. And that is exactly what he just declared there. He said, "My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and...

Seán Ono Lennon @seanonolennon I am against violence. I am against celebrating violence. I’m praying for peace. I’m praying for healing. I’m praying for the family, especially the children. I know what they’re going through. I’ve been through it. I’m deeply scared for this country. The way some people are reacting on both sides is dangerous. If I had one wish right now it would be for everyone to please just step back and take a breath and remember we are all just sophisticated apes trying to coexist on a rock hurtling through space. If we cannot tolerate polite and...

Charlie Kirk — a generational voice of the conservative movement — was assassinated Wednesday while hosting one of his famous campus discussion events.We still don’t know the identity of the shooter, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know who is responsible. Radical leftists bear great blame for engaging in inflammatory rhetoric that can only be described as assassination prep. And Republicans bear responsibility, too, for letting it come to this.Before Kirk died at the hands of an assassin, leftist radicals tried to kill Rep. Steve Scalise, President Donald Trump (twice), and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Statements of condemnation and...

@OANN “One bullet. A long rifle. A man from the roof. Does this sound familiar?” @RogerJStoneJr tells @mattgaetz this was not random. It was a professional political assassination attempt. Stone warns the attack could have been prevented, and says Americans deserve answers about Butler and West Palm Beach.

On Wednesday afternoon, a shooter took the life of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, just as he was answering a question about left-wing violence in the United States. Democrats have a long history of calling conservatives the most vile things our culture can think of, and their friends in the media spread the message to anyone who watches them. ... Just yesterday, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said...you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary..." What do Democrats think is “necessary?” Well, perhaps it is bringing a knife to a “knife fight,” in the words of Democrat National...

A range of phrases related to cultural issues were found scrawled on a rifle and ammunition found in the woods near where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered on Wednesday, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. Authorities are analyzing those messages as they seek to identify a suspect in the killing, sources said, but it’s not yet clear if they point to a motivation in the attack.

Here is a site that has been put together to report and track the leftists who encourage, promote and conspire to engage in political violence on Americans. https://www.charliesmurderers.com/
