He was shot in the neck and is presumably dead, as a staggering loss of blood was reportedly observed.

Probably more than those kids killed in schools yesterday and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the days before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and

      I feel like it’s cruel but this should be posterized and waved around his funeral. Maybe the people dressed in black will understand the concept of empathy then, violence really does seem to be the only language a fascist understands.

        These ass hats tried to make empathy a bad word to give license for them to be evil. But they will lash out and cry when other ppl don’t show them empathy. Fuck 'em.

      I am. It’s a reality of humanity. Most of us would like peace myself included. But to have peace, you have to be able to defend it. You can’t be passive. It’s kind of the idea of why you would have military, people ready and willing to fight to preserve the peace from those that end peace.

      My great-grandfather wasn’t exactly sad when he helped take down the Nazis. And I’m not going to be particularly sad when taking down a neo-Nazi. Sorry, they like to be called maga now.

      I think it’s time to stop being so nice about it. People like him encourage cruelty and violence. I think it’s time to stop treating them with empathy until they learn his to be civil human beings again.

        It’s like the paradox of being intolerant of intolerance.

        Can we morally allow fascism? It is like a cancer to democracy and I don’t think killing cancer cells is wrong.

    • Sadly, violence is definitely coming… soon. Mamdani better keep his head low tomorrow … 9/11… I’m extremely worried of a significant violent event tomorrow focused around/near Mamdani.

    So many things I want to say, but won’t because it’ll probably get me banned…

    So…

      They say you should only say good things about the dead.

      Charlie Kirk is dead. Good.

        nah, the mods over at /news are going ban happy if anybody says anything resembling approval of the outcome of this event

        pretty pathetic considering the community and instance rules weren’t broken

            I guess they just got pissy at me when I called them out on it because they removed one of my comments that wasn’t even as “bad” as a bunch of others I see over there now

            so they’re just pissy little cunts, I guess

            “finally some good news jfc maybe we’re not cooked???” is what they removed as “praising/promoting violence”, which is (1) inaccurate, and (2) not even against the rules of the instance or community

            then I called them out on deleting anti-Nazi comments and they got butthurt

    My coworker showed me the video. Then proceeded to tell me that he’s been watching Kirk since last year and that it was probably a “transgender” that shot him. My coworker is Mexican. Also several other coworkers stated that they enjoy the things that he used to say.

      The most respectful thing we can do is honor his beliefs:

      “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.” - Charlie Kirk

      "“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage” - Charlie Kirk

      “Guns save lives” - Charlie Kirk
