Some Arizona math teachers found themselves at the center of a controversy over the weekend after a Turning Point USA spokesman claimed their Halloween costumes were mocking Charlie Kirk’s death. The Vail School District stated that the costumes were unrelated to Kirk, the conservative activist from Phoenix who was fatally shot at a Turning Point USA event in Utah on Sept. 10 of this year. Bruce & Gaydos examine the controversy further, wondering how pundits linked the shirts to Kirk's death.
How does this mock Charlie Kirk?
All the blood on their t-shirts is on the left side, the same way that Kirk’s blood was.
Those “costumes” were in extremely poor taste and no matter what they thought of Kirk, its ridiculously poor taste to mock someone’s assassination.
You mean Charlie Squirt, the guy that got exactly what he explicitly asked for over and over again? That guy?
Who cares he doesn’t care he’s dead. And when your dead you stop having opinions.
Fuck Charlie Kirk and good fucking riddance to that garbage.
The problem is these costumes were not about CK, and had been worn at least one year prior to his assassination.
I agree making fun of his death is in horrible taste, no mater whether he deserved it or not, but just because something looks tangentially similar doesn’t mean it’s related.
Why?
I’m not watching the video to find out their opinions, but:
Black text on a white shirt is similar to Charlie’s shirt
Blood is on the same side as Charlie’s gusher
Problem solved accurately describes Charlie’s current condition
