    Please note that NSFW/NSFL videos must be labeled as such or they will be deleted

    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.

        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.

    True tbh that my dark feelings aren’t doing any good, but we absolutely do need people to understand that they can take direct action against the fash.

    And furthermore, people who are fascist-curious need to be shown that if they want to be positively remembered by their community, they need to cut it with their fascist crap.

    Lastly, we need to remind people that being a fucking monster ought to be dangerous business.

    “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.

        Any politician that completely supports Trump is fair game at this point. Things will not return to normal by talking. If you dont wanna live in a dictatorship wake the fuck up. If you live in the US (i luckily dont) then learn how to use a gun, because its gonna get much much worse than the way it is right now.

        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.

      Ironically this is exactly what the 2A was built for. To off tyrants.

    Calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi while celebrating his death. The irony. This whole thread should be locked.

    To those who want to be flippant, this is not the time. The response will be terrible and become a setback that’ll last generations.
