Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

No really, if he was a nicer guy this probably wouldn't have happened.

I’m not convinced it did happen. His last words were literally making light of gun violence. If I read this in a book, I’d say it was too on-the-nose

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 75 points 1 day ago (4 children)

We have no clue how long the shooter was zeroed in. It's entirely possible they chose the funniest moments to pull the trigger.

Shooter was standing there for an hour going

His last words

He was asked how many shooters were trans in the last 10 years and replied "Too many"

He was corrected, the number is 5.

He was then asked how many shootings happened in these years (there were 5700)

He asked back: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" and got shot

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 148 points 1 day ago (4 children)

His last word was "violence".

I always said "You can tell when Charlie Kirk is arguing in bad faith by when his lips are moving and sounds are coming out."

And it was literally the last thing he ever did.

“Gang violence” = racist dog whistle. The assassin couldn’t have picked a more perfect time to fire. 😂

I would actually like to know what he was leading to with that question. Is the implication that gangs have an overrepresentation of trans people? Or that gang violence doesn't count for some reason?

I guess we'll never know.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago

It's a common talking point among the right that there aren't really that many mass shootings in America if you exclude gang violence. Y'know, which is done by and only effects those people

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 day ago

Pointing out that gangs do a lot of violence is an attempt to shift blame onto the demographic groups which are overrepresented in gangs due to socioeconomic reasons (systemic racism).

I hate how some are trying to spin this as "he was killed just for having different opinions" like no, he didn't just have "different opinions" that's grossly oversimplifying things, he advocated for the genocide in Gaza, said kids being shot in school is "worth it" because "god given rights" (which version of the Bible had assault rifles in it?) ridiculed disabled people in his circles, and said if his 9 year old daughter got raped he wouldn't allow her to have an abortion

All while in a position of authority and power with influence over a significant portion of people. How anyone can sympathise for him I don't know

The world is just a little better today.

Overall it still sucks, but it's nice to know good things still happen once in a while.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I’m savoring it, as things are bound to get worse. The right produces too many directed nutters.

Yep. I've already said this like three times on other platforms: it's ok to be happy about this. He gave you permission. Twice, actually. The "it's worth sacrificing a person every now and then if it means we get to have guns" and this empathy thing.

This is maybe the only time it's ok to be happy someone died.

Let's also not forget how giddy he was when Paul pelosi was nearly killed over his politics.

so does this mean that any maggot who says they feel for his family or friends or colleagues, are really just liberal cucks in disguise?

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

Sure enough. Probably on soros payroll too.

I'll respond the same way he would have.

I remember every single time someone they didn't like died. They would rejoice in the most vile manner imaginable. Fuck them.

I am betting that Kirk's killer was a fellow conservative who found him too soft and not hard right enough.

Or... maybe it was the same guy who killed Brian Thompson... because Luigi is innocent.

Maybe it wasn't murder. Maybe it was just an accident. There were probably lots of guns on campus, after all open carry is legal on campus' in UT, as I understand. Let's not prejudge the guy, he deserved a fair trial.

I wonder if we will get a new wave of users as reddit has another ban wave for people laughing at this cunts neck exploding.

[–] Ghis@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Literally me. Been banned there way too many times, and for a lot worse things than what I've said here in the past 10 hours.

I'm done with that fucking site. They love censorship.

I made a comment asking where this was when two Democrats were executed in their homes, Trump said it'd be a waste of time to show empathy, etc.

Now they're calling timeout because they're the target.

I feel bad for this guys family but becoming your own meme for getting assassinated is crazy. This whole thing has been insane.

I'd like to ask a general question that I'm not entirely sure I can give enough context for.

When did we as a society start listening so intently to what amounts to barely more than children? This Kirk guy looked chromosomal on top of being barely out of high school, how and why do so many people listen to him?

Half a century ago thought leaders were people like Isaac Asimov or Carl Sagan or Gwynne Dyer or Roy Bonisteel or any number of scholarly people over a certain age.

When did we start caring about high schooler's opinions on a national level?

I don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk, rest in piss, but my celebration is mildly stunted by the fact that this is a dangerous thing to normalize and this is a massive notch in that direction given how huge of a public figure he was and the nature of his assassination being so public.

Of course, the right is largely responsible for that normalization, and Charlie Kirk's death is actually on people like Charlie Kirk's very hands. However, for me its just the consequences and the dark future that this seems to push us further into.

Hopefully the right fails to capitalize on his death effectively and we move onto largely forgetting about the piece of shit.

This is genuinely the first time in a long time that the news has brought me genuine joy. I don't give a fuck, but I am angry at him and people like him for being so shitty that it makes me feel joy at their deaths. This is on you bitch.

I had someone try to tell me I was stooping to his level with my dark humor memes.

I told them, I can't do that because I'm not 6ft under.
