The Facebook pics from the family since 2017 or so show a happy, normal life.

8 years later the son is an assassin fully steeped in communist/anti-fascist circles.

Crazy

Happens to many college kids.

I think its time to look at what these schools are harboring.

Well it's not like the President from 2021-2024 was calling on the nation to cull the ultra MAGA movement.

Yes, social media and college are doing this to millions of impressionable kids. Charlie was one of the lone voices able to combat this.

Same here. Best friend growing up and in college went to grad school in NYC. Went from a stand up Christian to a raving libtard atheist in a couple years.

The Democrats have done a great job of
Radicalizing their base over the last 8 years. And don’t be fooled Obama started this. The Democrats have a free Army of Brownshirts roaming the country.

Colleges are bastions of leftist radicalism. I've seen many people posting the "it's tragic, BUT..." bullshite on social media. Unfortunately, they were all people I went college with.

Even "conservative" Texas A&M has unfortunately churned out lefties.

Sooo many more have been radicalized over the past 4 years. The celebrating is evidence of that. This will not stop. Combined with social media exposure, these radical kids will feel more emboldened.

Being that he looks like a pathetic loser it probably started with him doing everything he could to simp to lib college aged women and then metastasized from there

One of mother's best friends had their daughter do a 180 and become a lefty while in college. She came from a loving, conservative household and after about half a year ULL she turned into a big lefty and has remained as such.

It's a shame, because she was a really sweet and pretty girl before heading off to college.

Yup, heard the comments on LSU’s YikYak app were pretty disgusting these past few days…same during this past election. Your conservative young college kids are made to feel like they’re in the minority in their beliefs and values and should therefore shut up on this stupid college YikYak app.

YiikYak

Check out the mental health resource section. Poor college kids…. Just victims on these campuses unless they have enough fortitude.

Bruh, Universities have been radicalizing kids for decades. You have to be under 30 to think it started with Obama.

Ever watch PCU? That comedy only existed bc people had already noticed what was happening. That movie is from 1994.

Or read The Closing Of The American Mind from 1987.

The assassin received support at home for the indoctrination he was receiving at school.

Per the Governor: In conversation at their dinner table, a family member and the killer discussed Charlie's upcoming visit and that they disliked Charlie and his messaging. The family member also stated to the killer that Charlie was full of hate and spreading hate.

I would like to know who that family member was. I'm guessing the mom, possibly a sibling or other relative. As a member of law enforcement, if the dad did it he was exceedingly stupid.

I’d be curious to learn who his teachers were and what classes he attended at UVU.
