According to NYT (cw: gift link to live report with details of shooting) the moments before the shooting were even more fitting:

Video posted on social media shows the moment Charlie Kirk was shot and the seconds leading to the incident. Kirk was being asked questions about mass shootings in America.

“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.

ETA Additional context: The person first asked how many mass shooters were transgender in the last ten years, Kirk said "Too many", the person said it's five, then asked the question about total mass shooters. I could infer it as an attempt to compare the two relative to amount of right-wing outrage over the gender identity of shooters.

It's not a hyperbole, it's literally what he said.

Prayers 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He made a persuasive argument today

I think it's eminently fair to say that, on some level, this is how he'd have wanted to go.

"Live by the gun, Die by the gun"

*said

At least it's an honest argument, unlike pretending that gun ownership has no effect on deaths, or changing the subject to avoid addressing it.

Later douche

Father, do not mourn for me. Mother, do not weep.

Whatever a man soeth, that also shall he reap.

With that head? You have to be extra careful of teabags.

Also Charlie Kirk: "Not like that!"

Reddit is a cesspool about this. Holy shit glad I left.

Of course he did. Power is more important to them than any life.

We can only be in awe of the accuracy of the shooter getting him between the eyes.
