Charlie Kirk (Turning Points USA) shot and killed during event in Utah; Suspect Tyler Robinson charged

[mitter]

More specifically he was making a straw man argument to vilify/demonize black people. His literal last words were “gang violence” and he was shot most likely by a white man as he demonized black men

Yup, and it happened in lily white, deep red Utah.

Can you imagine the talking points if it happened in a "Democrat city" or "blue state"?

I feel bad for his young children, but based on his previous comments about gun violence, he would be happy to know that he sacrificed himself to the Almighty 2nd Amendment.

Everybody stay safe outside

appalrenty he was in the middle of a sentence about gun violence as he was shot. surreal

He was literally about to discount gun violence in this country as "gang violence"




Edit: Damn y'all, can we at least spoiler them vids/gifs of him getting shot?

I fear this may consolidate maga they had a civil war going on

People are saying the guy who shot him is probably a right winger. Maybe a Nick Fuentes fan.

Laura Loomer was trashing Charlie Kirk on Twitter just days ago.

I think it'll unite MAGA for a bit. But the coalition is not destined to stay together. Its together because of Trump. And only him.

I hate when The Coli posters celebrate political violence. Kirk was truly contemptible grifter. It's well known.

But tomorrow, it might not be a contemptible grifter you disagree with. It might be someone you support. And then wackjob radicalized idiots on the right will celebrate it.

Political violence is truly a death spiral incompatible with free and open societies.

Yep, agreed

I am not celebrating violence and definitely did not want him (or anyone else) to be killed. If it was up to me, the person who shot him (or anyone else) would not have been allowed to have a gun.

Having said that, it is impossible not to observe this incident as an illustration of chickens coming home to roost. What did this guy spend his time on this planet doing? Spreading hate. Look at how he callously dismissed the deaths due to gun violence, among other things.

Gutfeld making sense?

 

[wire28]

Apparently the democrats own this, 100%

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

That sounded like a high powered rifle ??? Wouldn’t be surprised if dude was posted up super far away when he took the shot

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

yeah that's wild. It should be in spoiler tags

Yeah come on guys, have some damn respect. That’s a horrific video

Political Violence and the Reality Distortion Field

Sadly, we’ve always had violence in America; what’s different today is the aftermath, and the battle to define political opposition amid violence.

Now that my son told me kids on his football team are sad he's dead I'd argue him being dead is a good thing. People like him have completely corrupted gen z
