Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.
Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.
Also, uh, if you have any doubt in your fortitude whatsoever, do not watch them.
Seriously.
For anyone who is curious but might not want to watch the video, here’s a description I found that a friend of mine who watched it says is accurate:
Description
he got shot in the neck by a high powered rifle and instantly litres of blood spewed out as he slumped over. He likely won’t survive.
“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights” - Charlie Kirk, 2023
Ironically, this assassin literally justified the 2nd Amendment. You use it to off tyrants. And boy they sure did.
But this guy wasn’t even a tyrant. He was just a fucking pawn. And there’s going to be somebody else ready to step in and take his place.
This doesn’t solve anything. It just gives the right a much needed distraction and the illusion of having an excuse to crackdown hard on the left. They would have done it either way, but this basically buys them cover.
Right? They’ve been treating the left so fairly this whole time and now we went and made them mad
*Edit - I misread OP’s comment, and jumped on the wrong part.
Literally the opposite of what I said but sure. Would love to hear what the fuck you believe this accomplishes to stop fascism or even right wing propaganda? If the administration actually dials it back after this, I guess I’ll buy you a fucking drink and we’ll have a good laugh about how right you were the whole time.
Every time something like this happens, I honestly wonder how many people are actually this clueless and how many are just astroturfing/trolls working on behalf of the right and this administration to spread disinformation and outrage propaganda. I would like to believe it’s a ratio of about 15:85, but I’m also an optimist.
I just re-read your comment and didn’t see the words “illusion of,” so I actually did misunderstand you and apologize.
I’ll edit my comment to acknowledge that, but I’m still going to celebrate the dead fascist because it’s the news we need right now
Too soon?
It is not.
Finally a good guy with a gun
Just for the chance that this snowballs and we get more good guys with guns making moves like this, I’m buying a bag of popcorn kernels and cheap “champagne” (because I can’t afford anything else).
I get the attempt at dark humor but honestly, damn, for me, that’s a no.

This is just my perspective, and I never wish harm or suffering on another living being, but if what/who you are and advocate for causes these things and you’re too stupid or bribed to see it and continue being you… Then, for the greater good, good riddance
what/who you are and advocate for causes these things
“If someone tries to assassinate you, it’s because you deserve it”, in other words.
Seems like a pretty dangerous stance to take.
We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk made his whole career doing. That’s the context that every discussion of Kirk’s death should begin with.
You got to admit if you didn’t want to get shot, visiting a US school was a bad idea.
Trump ally Charlie Kirk suggests children should watch public executions
He ended up being the one being executed publicly

Someone interacted so what the heck. I have been watching broadcast tv and its not bad except for the commercials. Half of them are like what the am new radio station have. BUY GOLD!!! Another though is hawking this book about charlie kirk. barf.
Trump ordered flags at half mast until Sunday. So this piece of shit got what he quite literally asked for and it’s a national tragedy, but innocent children killed in schools on a weekly basis get “nothing we can do about it, thoughts an prayers 🤷♂️.” Fucking clownshow.

Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment
My water heater started leaking over the weekend. It was only seven years old, but I suppose since the warranty was six years, I shouldn’t complain? Anyway, I installed my new water heater today, so I can shower again. This one has a 12-year warranty, it might out live me.
I just took a shower, I feel great. I’ll be going for a walk around sunset. It’s been a good day.
He deserves the same empathy and compassion he gave to other victims of gun violence.
Oh my gosh! Is he okay??
I’ll admit, I jumped up and down like a schoolgirl when I heard. I’ll gladly celebrate the death of fascists.
Change my mind 😂
The Silence of a Fascist.
