Kirk said gun deaths were worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment. I'm sure he'd include his own in that opinion.
Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

He was about to say that again before he was cut off.
Well he did have "Change my mind" all over that event. Maybe he changed his mind on that, but we'll never know.
All we can say is that someone gave it a shot.
Proved wrong
The 2nd amendment was made for kings but fascists work, Kirk died doing what he loved.
I like to judge people by their own standards, making sure to apply their own ideology to them. This is why I'm perfectly fine with fascists getting shot, or conservatives going hungry or without medical care, or bullies being beat up, or bigots being ostracized. It's all tragic... But it's what they wish for, so I'll celebrate for them.
Dude literally said some collateral damage is a-ok in defense of the second amendment. Remember him for who he was and knowing he was perfectly fine with other people going out this way, so why is he any different? He reaped what he sowed.
And I'm seeing a bit of "well we shouldnt celebrate this" type bs. No. Fuck that, full stop. If you're such a miserable sack of shit that people celebrate your death, then be a better person when you're alive if you don't want that. You don't get to ignore human decency your entire life and then cower behind it in death.
i'll save my sympathy for the victims of evergreen high school who also had a school shooting but who won't get covered because the media will be swooning over this ghoul.
I had no idea until you mentioned it.

Do not let those with a monopoly on violence tell you that violence is wrong.
I will not celebrate violence. I will not celebrate murder. It's wrong.
I'm sure he loved his wife. He loved his church. He loved his kids.
But this very same man had no issue with throwing men with no criminal records in horrific south american prisons. Men who simply wanted a better life.
He had no issue with spreading lies about election results, even if the result was violence.
He had no issue with lying about legal Haitian migrants eating dogs and cats, even if they received countless death threats.
He believed Canadian gun laws were silly, any angry man should be able to easily purchase guns.
I don't want to sound like a horrible monster, but it's hard for me to feel empathy.
“I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics,” - Charlie Kirk
That cannot be a real quote Jesus Christ
There’s a concerted conservative effort to make empathy a bad thing. Research it. There are many conservative pundits trying to portray empathy as bad.
I will in fact celebrate his death. We got here because we allowed tolerance to go WAY too far. Shame needs to make a comeback and if you actively advocate against other people being treated with basic decency, then your death deserves no decency itself. Respect is a two way street - a social contract. You break that and no one owes you shit.
Yup, cheers!!
I mean, I feel sorry for his kids. They didn't choose this life. But I would have felt sorry for them even if he didn't get shot.
He chose his lifestyle. He upset a lot of people and actively defended gun violence. And that did him in.
So it goes.
He loved his church
He found his church to be a convenient venue for his hate speech.
"Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army.” - Brennan Lee Mulligan
No tears for a dead fascist, but I'm already dreading the swing back. The fascist regime that Kirk carried water for will have no reservations on using his death to execute further crackdowns on opposition.
Meanwhile it's only been a few months since the assassination of a democratic lawmaker in Minnesota but it's been crickets since then.
It was probably a rightwinger who did it anyway, just like it was a rightwinger who shot Trump and did the Vegas Tesla car bomb. Night of Long Knives incoming
I do condone murder and violence and will celebrate his death. Eat shit, Kirk.
Don't feel bad for Charlie! He's graduated! He's now a good Nazi.
I told my buddy. That I’m respecting Charlie’s wishes and provide no empathy to the situation. It would be weak to care about his death. Thanks Charlie. And my buddy had a meltdown.
Just you wait. They will seize this opportunity to oppress more Americans.
No need to wait, right wingers are already saying left wing groups need to be investigated for their connections to the shooter even though they don't even know who shot him.
Trump is going to use this as excuse to send troops to every state. Who knows maybe Trump called the hit, he’s know for throwing his friends under the bus literally.
I think everyone has the wrong take on this. If this happened to someone on the left, most people will just twiddles their thumbs on their keyboards and goes on about their lives.
What people need to realize is his actions and what he has promoted has consequences.
I'll leave it at that.
I'd never heard of this guy until yesterday. He is some social media influencer that believed in the 2nd amendment. Apparently MAGA people are losing their shit, Fox News commentator claims this is an act of war.
Social media bubbles are wild.
I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituaries with great satisfaction.
I think the bigger question here is what he was wearing. Was he asking to be murdered?
maybe Ben Shapiro would finally take a break from visiting universities
I’m sure that as he fell over dead, his last thought was “God bless the 2nd Amendment!”
He died as he believed. Good for him.
Sounds like he is ok with it 🤷🏻♀️ "It's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the Second Amendment" https://masto.ai/@FirefighterGeek/115181711602912969
I agree OP.
But I also believe he got what he fucking deserved.
It's an absolutely terrible thing to happen, that Charlie Kirk had said was necessary to an extent. I will hold our restrictive Canadian gun laws dearly.
And while I am against gun violence of any sort, I will be a lot more upset about and sympathetic for the victims of today's American school shooting at Evergreen High.
nothing of value was lost
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
