The latter passed on the information to the office of a sheriff that the suspect had stood or indicated that he had committed the crime. The TV broadcaster CNN, citing investigators, reported that the suspect’s father claims to have identified his son on search photos.
Consequences for negative statements about Kirk
Meanwhile, more and more cases of professional consequences are becoming known for people who are said to have commented on Kirk negatively. US media reported on a case of a dismissed employee of an office article chain who is said to have refused to print flyers for a vigil for the shot Kirk.
The Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, made investigations by the educational authority there against teachers and employees on the platform X who are said to have posted inappropriate content on social media.
The US State Department had also threatened foreigners with consequences for days, if they should justify violence on the Internet. Vice Foreign Minister Christopher Landau had written on the platform X – without naming Kirk’s names – that he was outraged that some on social media justified or played down the crime. Landau continued to write consular representatives to take measures, without naming details. The Vice Foreign Minister called in his post to report comments from foreigners so that the Foreign Ministry can “protect the American people”. He did not provide examples or evidence of alleged actions by foreigners.
