So, can we call reaping what you sew getting "Charlie Kirked" now? Watching the media and Trump already canonizing this guy as a martyr is sickening. Seriously. "Oh... he got young people into politics... he was a cultural icon... what a tragedy..." Like, never mind that this piece of trash was just another bigoted mouthpiece for the establishment literally poisoning America. I don't have any sympathy at all for him or the rest of his ilk. Fuck 'em all but six.

“gun deaths and school shootings are incredibly unfortunate but a necessary thing to help ensure our gun freedoms “ - Charlie Kirk
Glad that he is dead, time to party 😄 He got what he wanted, so no need to feel sorry for him.
He was no angel.
The level of outrage over this versus that of school shootings where children die is another way the fascists tell on themselves
My prediction is that another right-wing loon shit him, but even if they find the guy they'll still blame the left the same way they did with the trump shooter.

I'm surprised anyone took Charlie Kirk seriously enough to bother killing him. Curious to see what the motive will end up being.

I get the strong feeling that this shooting was done by a professional.
- 1 single shot from over two hundred yards away
- shooter escapes like a ghost, and it doesn't seem like the police have found any evidence he was even there.
- a separate person seemingly providing a distraction so the shooter can get away and the police just let him go.
Makes me wonder a few things
- was this a false flag? (seems most likely) - especially when you consider the context of trump wanting to send military into US cities and the Republicans voting against releasing the epstein docs on the same day. This shooting was an absolutely fantastic distraction and could easily be used by trump to promote his usage of military against US cities.
- was this sponsored by someone
- was this another country?
- if the shooter escaped so easily, how likely is it that he does this again somewhere else?

Who wants to take bets that the guy who shot him is a right-wing guy?

Busy today and I agree with most of the comments. Zero sympathy for a neo-Nazi who supported the violent MAGAts and wished violence on people who disagreed with him.
