Yes, but also you reap what you sow. I am sure he knows in his heart he had to die to protect second amendment rights! /S
Edit: Some gun deaths = 1,400 children and 45,000 adults.
Hi guys! Just because he was an awful person doesn’t mean he deserves to die. I am actually horrified by how many people are condoning this, especially when this man has a family and a wife and it’s not even like trump when it would have actually done anything for our country. all this has done has made a gigantic fuss and give fox news rage bait.
Charlie Murk
Thoughts and prayers.
I just disagree with him. I suppose he would have said his own death was worth the price for freedom, right? So he proved his own point, but I just can’t get on board with it.
He got his own personal 2A.
RIP Charlie Kirk.
You were a good Christian man with moral principles with a wife and 2 kids. You were killed by a lunatic while you were exercising your freedom of speech, you were persecuted by your opponents. Some may say that’s a form of fascism, the same party that accused you of being.
The violent rhetoric of the left influenced some weak minded soul to take you from your children, and also taken your quotes out of context.
Charlie Kirk never robbed a pregnant woman at gun point, or robbed a bank, or killed a woman on a train, but instead encouraged open conversation between all parties so they could understand each other in a meaningful way.
May you rest in peace, and may your naysayers see the evil in their ways and repent. They may mock you because they’re unable to refute your debates, but they will reap what they sow.
RIP Charlie Kirk
Never too soon.
First I heard he was shot and assumed not bad, found the video and… he was dead before be hit the ground
Not soon enough.
Awwwwww… damnit… Why wasn’t it Trump ‽‽
More, please.
Wait what? Did someone off him??
Yeah, news hasn’t said he’s dead yet, but the video is very gruesome. I don’t see anyway he’d survive.
Very very not safe for work / lunch - click at your own risk. https://mastodon.social/@Ulfh3dnar/115181548207581457

Clicked on it. Yeah that’s some NSFL stuff.
eh. that was a good bit of blood, but if you’ve seen someone die outside of a hospital you’ve probably seen worse.
Fabulous!
I was eating lunch when I watched it. I’m fine. I have empathy when I step on a bug. Not for hateful people like that though.
I was just thinking about that. Someone will whine about empathy sooner or later and I’ve come up with what I think is a pretty good response, feel free to use it if you agree.
I’ve been putting up with their hateful shit for most of my life, exactly how many years of that are required before I’m allowed to have an empty empathy tank for them?
You can do even better. Charlie Kirk said “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage”
Just tell them Kirk wouldn’t want you to feel empathy.
Here is the correct response to people asking for empathy for Charlie Kirk.

“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage" -Charlie Kirk-
A friend is aghast at how I can react the way I do. My response is “do you think these ‘just opinions’ exist in a void?”
yeah that was…very not gruesome? i’ve seen people hype it up but, like, that was nothing? unless you’re afraid of blood i guess. most death i’ve seen in my life was way worse.
You shouldn’t be so proud of being unbothered by watching a person bleeding out.
Yeah. Modern medicine is amazing, but that looks pretty much un-surviveable.
You’d be surprised. Trump would definitely have blabbed about it by now though
Fuck, glad I waited to smoke a joint on that one. That doesn’t really seem survivable. Especially with the way the body moved. Though I want confirmation.
My mom is watching cable news and just texted me they said he died. I’ll see if I can find a print version.

Loved and admired by all!? Good with the youth!? I know we are not supposed to talk ill of the dead, but do we have to literally make up lies about him?
I’ll wait for another source this dude is always lying.
He’s a narcissist. He only lies to make himself look better.
AP has reported it now
Jesus Christ, when someone said a fountain i thought they were playing it up

Yes i know, but it’s not something you see everyday in HD and close up.
Most of the gore videos I saw as a teen didn’t even come close to how clear this was and i saw a cartel beheading video.
deleted by creator
That’s a blood-rich area of the body.
Damn couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
I unfortunately looked at it. The guy saying, “Yeah, gang violence” right before, is some weird shit.
Also, why would anyone kill him? He’s been irrelevant for awhile now, yeah?
They’re trying to make him big again. So much for that, I guess
He really stuck his neck out for it, worked himself bloody. He took his shot.
Stuck to his guns

I’d love to know the context for maximum irony.
My thot sand prayers go to him, and I agree with OP.
From NYT (cw: gift link to live report with details of shooting):
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.
Yea, all that gang violence in all those schools, Chuck.
What a perfect time for him to be shot. It’s poetry, truly.
It’s my personal belief with absolutely no evidence that the person asking the questions and the shooter were working together. Those questions and the timing of the shot are just too fucking perfect.
Life is stranger than fiction. Yes, the timing worked out, that doesn’t mean fuck all. This isn’t a movie, and sometimes timing can be unintentionally poetic. The shooter could hear them, too, and may have decided that was the moment they wished to fire the shot on their own accord. Those types of questions are asked all the time at these shitty debates, it’s not even remotely special and it’s even a topic that is one of the core things Kirk pushed pretty heavily.
Everyone’s making up all kinds of conspiracies when the highly likely, nearly guaranteed, reality is that it was someone who came to the conclusion that the systems present in the US would not only do nothing to punish Kirk for his hate but in fact reward him for it. The same thing happened to a certain health insurance CEO for the same reason. They took the law into their own hands because the law does exist to serve victims, only oppressors.
Yes, this means the violence all too present in the US has finally come to white conservatives. Deal with it.
“Violence “ was the last word that shitstain said in this world. 🤷🤷🤷🐆🐆🐆
Not just “violence”, but actively trying to downplay mass shootings by blaming them on “gang violence”. He’s a goon, but at least he’s the best kind of goon(a dead one).
Oh the irony. A fatuous right-wing fuckwhit who loves guns (but who hates trans people and abortions - freedom for me but not for theeee!) gets shot and killed on a campus that Republicans recently allowed concealed carry on campuses. https://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/new-rules-for-concealed-weapons-on-campus/
Where were the good guys with guns??
Lol, amazing
Who needs an RSS feed? I can get curated news delivered to me in lemmy comments
of course trump needed a big distraction, and now media is only focused on it right now. im pretty sure melania is a reaper, waiting til you pass so she can have your will.
Yeah, that’s not a good place to get shot. AP news said he, “grabbed up with his right hand to his left shoulder” or some shit but that dude is unconscious immediately. Just that old “fencer’s response” Prolly gonna die.
sic semper tyrannis
