If you don’t have anything good to say about Charlie Kirk, don’t say anything at all.

Charlie Kirk is dead.

Good.

I'm somewhat surprised that the Trump Administration went this far to distract from the Epstein files.

University officials said the shot appeared to come from a nearby campus building roughly 200 yards (180 m) from the event area; local media identified the location as the Losee Center rooftop.

Helluva shot then

Somehow I think the reaction to this will be totally different than it was when a gunman killed Melissa Hortman and wounded John Hoffman.

An autopsy may finally determine the true size of his face. Praying for the integrity of his facial features postmortem, for science.

They detained this man in connection to the crime, however he has since been released. ~~Which is incredibly peculiar considering he and I were watching the sopranos together at the time of the incident.~~ I can’t remember who my sopranos buddy was at the time.

I find the demands from the far right to have empathy for Kirk so distasteful... I see them dive into their favourite victim role so quickly and all the woe is us and the "See, the left is dangerous" stupid rhetoric.

Kirk himself said that empathy was destroying the world, why do we need to feel empathy for that asshole now?! Like always the right only cares when it affects them...

I'm soooo tired about the nonsense from the far right.

This attack is only going to galvanize the far right, so I sure hope that the shooter turns out to be right wing. If he's left wing, I fear for the lives of many of us. The nazis are trigger happy.

I'll admit, I jumped up and down like a schoolgirl when I heard. I'll gladly celebrate the death of fascists.

Change my mind 😂

A moment of silence on the floor of the US House of Representatives over Charlie Kirk’s killing has turned into a shouting match between Republicans and Democrats.

The commotion began when Republican representative Lauren Boebert rose after the moment of prayer to ask that the House also say a prayer for Kirk, according to multiple lawmakers who were on the floor during the incident, Axios reports.

Democrats then shouted “what about the kids in Colorado”, referring to a school shooting in Colorado that also occurred on Wednesday afternoon. Boebert responded that she was about to reference that tragedy before she was interrupted, the report continues.

Republican representative Anna Paulina Luna, who worked as Kirk’s director of Hispanic engagement at Turning Point USA, then stood up and yelled at Democrats: “You caused this!”

That prompted a raucous Democratic response, with Democratic representative Jahana Hayes, a leader on the gun violence prevention task force, shouting: “Pass some gun laws!”

Footage of the commotion from C-Span can be seen here on Instagram.

  1. They immediately detained people who confronted Charlie at the event (as they were more democratic), but obviously were not the shooter.

  2. The FBI says there is a massive manhunt for the shooter and are asking for any help they can get.

  3. The Right IMMEDIATELY blamed democrats and the "radical left" are calling for our murders and a civil war, without any scrap of evidence to prove their claims.

  4. The shooter was a ghost, some videos show a black figure on a roof 142 yards from the tent, well blended in and in all black. There is also video of the shooter running off the roof immediately after the shooting and got lost in the chaos. It's been over 18 hours and no suspect has been caught.

  5. Just before this event, Charlie voiced concerns over other right wing conservatives not aligning with his ideals and voicing concern over Israel. He was wearing body amour at this event and the shooter knew it. Extra security was brought in for this event.

The most logical explanations for this shooting would be:

  1. Another right wing radical taking out a voice they feel is hurting their cause for the movement and to cause chaos in the political spectrum.

  2. A political assassination carried out by Donald Trump and his team to start a war with democrats and start a real war within on anyone that doesn't agree with them. AKA False Flag.

It's just too clean a getaway and too good of a shot for any other explanation considering the angle of the shot, the elevation change, the crowd, and the heightened security.

Looks like the person they detained was released. The shooter got away and is still at large.
