Not surprised. I found out about this from a video that popped up on my reddit feed and yeah there was a lot of blood.

MSNBC said the footage was too gruesome to show so I figured it had to be pretty bad.

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." -Charlie Kirk

Wonder how he feels about that now.....

 

[Venom 1988]

So I just rewatched the video again but apparently this was his literal last words a second before he was shot:

Audience Member: "Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?"

Charlie Kirk: "Counting or not counting gang violence?"


Yeah I don't condone this stuff because who knows how the right is gonna react to this but I got zero sympathy for the dude.

 

[squeekness]

Some people really do make it hard to have empathy for and to forgive. I struggle with antipathy for Trump, RFK Jr, and Musk.

Charlie Kirk Calls ‘Empathy’ a New Age Term That ‘Does a Lot of Damage’

Radio host Charlie Kirk expressed his dislike for the term "empathy," during a recent episode of his show. In fact he says it does "a lot of damage."

Unlike Kirk, I have empathy for those that deserve it.

 

[squeekness]

I've always believed that a lack of empathy is a sign that society is collapsing and may not last much longer.

A racist gun proponent killed by a bullet.

May we learn from this: play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

 

[Mysteryman]

Whatever we make of Charlie Kirk’s politics, it s not exactly an act of bravery to kill someone from a distance with a high powered rifle.

Empathy does a lot of damage and gun-related deaths are worth it. He's pre-written quite the eulogy for himself.

I guess one person's truth isn't the same as others. He certainly didn't speak for me.

 

[squeekness]

The press conference is waffling on if the person they have is the actual shooter.

While talking about gun control, or how bad it is. And villainizing a group of people.

I choose to mourn the kids killed today at a school shooting instead of a Nazi.

And that story is not even getting a tenth of the attention as this Nazi’s.

My condolences and my heart goes out to those children who lost their lives today and their families.

When someone killed a MN state politician in her house, and then shot a second one, did not generate the news or reaction as Kirk will generate in the media.

Yep. No mention of it on CNN or MSNBC. School shootings are so pedestrian now unless a lot of the kids actually die.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Trump, Musk, and the Republicans have already cut funding for public security and have downsized the federal workforce that would be tracking threats online and offline. Tax cuts for the wealthy and the ‘ICE Army’ are a bigger priority to them.
