I find the demands from the far right to have empathy for Kirk so distasteful… I see them dive into their favourite victim role so quickly and all the woe is us and the “See, the left is dangerous” stupid rhetoric.

Kirk himself said that empathy was destroying the world, why do we need to feel empathy for that asshole now?! Like always the right only cares when it affects them…

I’m soooo tired about the nonsense from the far right.

This attack is only going to galvanize the far right, so I sure hope that the shooter turns out to be right wing. If he’s left wing, I fear for the lives of many of us. The nazis are trigger happy.

Turning Point USA CEO and co-founder Charlie Kirk said of gun deaths on April 5, 2023, “I think it’s worth it. 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.”

Play stupid games, win stupid prices…

I get the strong feeling that this shooting was done by a professional.

• 1 single shot from over two hundred yards away
• shooter escapes like a ghost, and it doesn’t seem like the police have found any evidence he was even there.
• a separate person seemingly providing a distraction so the shooter can get away and the police just let him go.

Makes me wonder a few things

• was this a false flag? (seems most likely) - especially when you consider the context of trump wanting to send military into US cities and the Republicans voting against releasing the epstein docs on the same day. This shooting was an absolutely fantastic distraction and could easily be used by trump to promote his usage of military against US cities.
• was this sponsored by someone
• was this another country?
• if the shooter escaped so easily, how likely is it that he does this again somewhere else?

I highly suspect Trump will get “intel” that the shooter is hiding in a blue American city like New York or Chicago and take it over with the military. I think he will use this to escalate his military take over of cities.

Left-wing streamer Kyle Kulinski says Charlie Kirk was feuding with nazis to his political right before he was killed.

Right-wing Pundit Clayton Morris shares rumor that Charlie Kirk was concerned Israel was going to kill him, and that he was wearing body armor when he was shot.

1. They immediately detained people who confronted Charlie at the event (as they were more democratic), but obviously were not the shooter.

2. The FBI says there is a massive manhunt for the shooter and are asking for any help they can get.

3. The Right IMMEDIATELY blamed democrats and the “radical left” are calling for our murders and a civil war, without any scrap of evidence to prove their claims.

4. The shooter was a ghost, some videos show a black figure on a roof 142 yards from the tent, well blended in and in all black. There is also video of the shooter running off the roof immediately after the shooting and got lost in the chaos. It’s been over 18 hours and no suspect has been caught.

5. Just before this event, Charlie voiced concerns over other right wing conservatives not aligning with his ideals and voicing concern over Israel. He was wearing body amour at this event and the shooter knew it. Extra security was brought in for this event.

The most logical explanations for this shooting would be:

1. Another right wing radical taking out a voice they feel is hurting their cause for the movement and to cause chaos in the political spectrum.

2. A political assassination carried out by Donald Trump and his team to start a war with democrats and start a real war within on anyone that doesn’t agree with them. AKA False Flag.

It’s just too clean a getaway and too good of a shot for any other explanation considering the angle of the shot, the elevation change, the crowd, and the heightened security.

Rest in piss.

He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind.

I’m somewhat surprised that the Trump Administration went this far to distract from the Epstein files.

Interesting reflection of Lemmy demographics that I haven’t seen much “But he has a wife and kids, we shouldn’t be celebrating his death uwu” rhetoric. Apparently even the most staunch centrists here acknowledge the harm Toiler Paper USA has done to the US populace.

There’s some insane laundering of his legacy going on now over on Reddit and through American news outlets though, as if he didn’t call Paul Pelosi’s attacker a “patriot” or dismiss school shootings as a necessary evil of the 2nd amendment. MSNBC even fired a political analyst over calling him “divisive.”

I’m not one of those people who blame every ill of the world on the “neoliberal cucks” or whatever, but damn if they don’t have a point regarding the corporate capture of the United States news media currently.

Busting out the cigars and celebrating this. Finally some good news. Sending thoughts and prayers

My thoughts:

My prayers:

“So we need a bigger distraction. Like Horst Wessel meets Reichstag fire.” I wonder if someday we’ll find out Trump ordered it.

Or maybe it’s just chickens coming home to roost.

Or most likely of all, far-right faction fighting.

Thanks to the “good guy with a gun” who protected the world from this guy.
