from yesterday, that the shooter would turn out to be "another Alt-Right maniac radicalized online, like our good friend, Robert Bowers"? I was right.

@mcspocky Sad to say. I don't think I've ever drawn less pleasure from the act of winning an argument. The whole thing was just horrible. Read it all, at the other end of that second link, and be ready to be revolted.

Comes with links to news sources (NBC, AP and the LA times).

@mcspocky But there's more. Remember our good friend, "Smirkin' Kirk Widlund" (@KirkKNUS)? Presented with links to the evidence, Kirk's response was to start giggling. He was absolutely delighted.

Remind you of anybody? Kirk would appear to be a psychopath. It gets better.

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS Kirk is a radio personality at KNUS in Denver. He's also been dropping by to harass at least one prominent black politician on his own profile. And he thinks that racially motivated murders are funny.

What happens if he is sent to interview the wrong politician?

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS Kirk is not only not a centrist, he's the worst racist I've ever encountered, and you're hearing this from a Jew on Twitter who was stuck in Klan country for a few years, at one point.

He looks like he's capable of killing somebody. At least to this layman.

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS I say that as somebody who has seen people get killed before. This guy freaks me out.

Online, that's a first.

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS KNUS has been notified and given a relevant link. Everything Kirk posted has been archived, so he can't hide it.

The suggestion given is that they have a professional psychologically screen dear Kirk, and make sure that he's not about to kill somebody.

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS Because he seems like the type.

I guess other people could write in and maybe it would help. The question has already been put to the station - what if you ignore this, he turns out to really be a psychopath, and he goes on a spree.

Do they want that headline?

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS The scary thing is, maybe they do. Just how crazy have people become?

I can't believe that the love of violent racism will come as a total surprise. People don't turn that way, overnight. Can't believe I'm the first to see signs of something being very, very wrong with this guy.

@mcspocky @KirkKNUS All we can do is send word along and hope for the best.

As for how KNUS replies, as long as we do our part, whatever follows in on them. One can only do what one can do.
