Too many people pearl clutching today over worries of retributive violence, as if the fascists aren't already going to be committing that violence on us in the near future regardless. It's not too early to say that this scumbag deserved much worse and I'm glad he got rocked so publicly. Mods I'll understand if you delete this and I'm truly sorry for the trouble if you do, I just need a personal break today from the media cacophony of liberals collectively reconciling with the realization that we live in an abnormally and horrifically violent society.
I literally cannot recognize Charlie Kirk without his tiny face shrunken slightly further down.

Some bring joy wherever they go… others, whenever they go
Like when Henry Kissinger died and every second city in South America had celebratory parties?

I feel like THIS is retributive violence. Democratic politicians were earlier shot dead in their homes, so I'd say that republicans (who are themselves endorsing political violence) shouldn't be able to feel safe either.
The Republicans are only going to talk about violence against them. They have a victim mentality and Charlie boy is now a martyr.

Kirk promoted gun violence to justify the 2nd amendment. It would be poetic justice if the killer was someone whose loved one died from gun violence and chose to give him a taste of his own opinion.

Bruh... We are in for an explosion of political violence... Only difference between now and the past is white wealthy men are the targets. Watching them freak out when they are gunned down on a random Wednesday is laughable. Welcome to your average black Americans reality. Police killings are political violence but no one with actual power ever gave a shit.
i switched over from reddit recently and this post makes me here to stay. Got a loud laugh out of me after reading all the undeserved sympathy this guy was getting.
I've been wondering for awhile now - at what point do ppl just start killing these fucking ppl. I guess that's today. Hopefully this a lesson/reminder in why you don't treat your fellow man like fucking dogshit, cause they just might tear your fucking throat out!

I feel for all the people who will have to live with the fear and trauma of witnessing this. I’m glad nobody else was hurt. This type of violence is a consequence of our gun-obsessed and highly politically polarized culture, which Kirk had a massive hand in making worse. I hope we can focus on the damage his rhetoric has caused and those who were taken in by him can use this as a learning moment.

dude had a big face or small face depending on how you define face, i see why the shooter didn't want to overcomplicate and went for the neck
If he got shot in the head - no vital organs would've been hit tho.
If they were shooting at the face, they would have misjudged the distance.

It was while he was being asked about gun violence that he was shot, the student says.
Unbelievable.
Specifically, he was in the middle of spinning a question about mass shootings into a dog whistle about "gang violence".
mass shootings committed by trans people, specifically
The order of events as I've been seeing online:
Videos circulating on social media showed an attender at the student event on Wednesday asking Charlie Kirk: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”
In response, Kirk said: “Too many,” as the crowd clapped.
In a follow-up question, the attender asked: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
Kirk replied: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
His last act on earth was cracking a joke about how only queers and poors are involved in gun violence, at which point he was shot.
Thanks for extra context. These people really don't seem to care about others suffering. Also I don't normally hear gang violence and mass shooters together. Gang violence is generally targeted and not focused on the most amount of bodies.
Regardless I'm getting tired of this all, and it's likely only beginning.
It's a regularly used debate tactic of the right. He was going to imply that whatever number the student came up with for mass shootings was inflated because the criteria was too vague and erroneously counts gang violence. He would then have used this to simultaneously downplay the seriousness of mass shootings and suggest that trans people represent a larger proportion of mass shooters than they actually do. It was his way of discrediting the argument that the student was making; that trans people are actually underrepresented in the population of mass shooters. The reason for the student making this argument - if you don't know - is that Charlie Kirk has blamed trans people for mass shootings in the past, jumping on the conservative bandwagon that always transvestigates mass shooters because they believe they are a trans conspiracy.

I think it was the asker who also said "great." sarcastically when gang violence was mentioned (just before the shot), adding to the timing.

I have to admit, the Republicans were right about the second amendment. We need to be (legally) buying guns and (legally) protesting with them.

Fountain of blood is an understatement. It looked like special effects. The guy went out like a DOOM villain. He died gargling on his own blood.

They’re already committing violence. It’s just directed against brown people, we shouldn’t forget that. The level they expand and escalate it to is what’s up for debate.
The onion had a good headline, 'Charlie Kirk loses gun control debate by a longshot'

Lol.
So long asshole.
Ran your mouth one day too long.
I don't know a lot about him, I'm not US American.
I condemn violence in general but a person like him who helps polarize society, pours oil in the fire etc. may just reap what he sowed.
That's what you get, with culture war nonsense and playing sides of the political spectrum against each other. Strange to assume this would just stay rhetoric.

Dude, I watched a youtube video of local news stations reporting over the shooting. The youtube comments are completely deranged and 100% written by AI. Somehow charlie kirk is being equated to MLK Jr.

Oh no, anyway
It’s ironic to mention retributive violence while advocating against people’s rights to be armed to defend themselves.
Nobody is advocating for murder or murderers. While I dislike reddit, /r/DGU is typically very illustrative as to why it’s so important.
I hope - sincerely - to never need to defend myself or my family.
That doesn’t mean you get to disarm me so that some murderers can ignore the law and kill people anyway.
I'm a pro-2A gun owner, I suspect you may not be reading the meme the way I intended / expected.
