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 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.

      Main difference between him and someone else fueling the fire is the irony.

      He specifically supported people bringing guns to schools wiith quotes that essentially boil down to “Gun violence happens but we just have to live with it to protect our god given rights.”

      He was the reason he could get shot.

      He sayd things like few gun related deaths each year is acceptable sacrifice if they can keep their god given right to bear arms. Also he said he does not understand empathy and it’s just a made up new age term.

      So he most definetly got what he sowed, what he deserved.

        He was saying that trans people shouldn’t have guns because they commit lots of gun violence when he was shot (a lie as usual).

    How many people have been snatched off the street and disappeared to secret prisons recently? Those people I am concerned about, this bigoted asshole eating lead while spewing bullshit…not at all. There is violence going on already and while I don’t wish for more deaths, there is no rehabilitation for a Nazi

    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!

    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.

      And your average kid in elementary school. Our society has successfully normalized violence literally against children. I feel like we’re not far away from “pedophiles really aren’t that bad actually” being said by our politicians.

      And they want me to care about a fucking piece of shit like Charlie Kirk turning into a fountain of blood while no one else was hurt? Literally top 10 clean kills in history.

      The only sympathy I feel is for people that had to feel the trauma of that event. No one there knew they were not also targets. The panic and fear they must have felt in that moment. That is my only sympathy for this situation.

          Not as bad a way to go as people described to me. He loses consciousness immediately from blood loss, I bet he didn’t even have tine to feel anything, pain or fear wise.

            Yeah… All the people asking if he managed to survive either didn’t see the vid, or don’t understand bodies, cause he was unconscious within a second and dead seconds later.

            The bullet ripped open some juicy neck tunnels and based on his contortion probably fucked with his spine too.

              Most people have no idea how destructive bullets actually are to bodies, or how much you bleed. Most people have never seen, or have never seen many, actual shootings, and think that it is something in the neighborhood of an action movie on the bloodier side of things.

                Yeah they’re saying it was a high powered, bolt action rifle not just ya normal 5.56 AR. The crack of the shot was very distinctive, most likely something like .308 which will fuck up unarmored personnel.

                  There are some out there that show it, or how bloody violence in general is. However they are usually considered to be hard to watch, and always show up on lists. Things like Come and See, Possessor, etc.

              Interestingly his head seemed to rock in the same direction that the bullet hit, you would think it would be away.

                I think the bullet tore up much of the supporting structure on that side, that’s why he slumped that way.

                Fuck this vid is bad.

                  Right in the middle of his full-throated endorsement of the scapegoating of transsexuals too.

                  He was going right for the jugular.

                  Neck and neck with the president himself in making right wing public opinion.

            Resident Evil 4 Original, just intentionally lose to the Chainsaw dude. That shit actualy scared me as a kid, this is nothing.

            I think they censored the decapitation in the remake (but they still kept in the decapitation for non-chainsaw deaths, so idk what’s the point)

      Lol that one subreddit also equated the two. Smallface will be forgotten within a year, he had no memorable message that people would rally behind. Anyone can spew his kind of hate, just needs a bit of training to beat some highschoolers in shitty debates. “Owning the libs” and using dog whistles is nothing that will make you more than some footnote.

      MLK was a leader. Kirk was an arsonist.

      Yes because MLK breached hatred and that his kids could hopefully life with more hatred than him etc. Hatred is the future.

      What a joke, some right wing asshole is like MLK
