          If anything after seeing it I’m disappointed it seems like it was a fast death. Based on the news they made it sound like he had a chance at first, but that kind of neck injury is usually a pretty fast death. He likely passed out within the few seconds of the video and was dead on the scene.

          I don’t even know if he had the time to process the immense irony of what just happened to him, let alone reflect on being such a piece of shit that someone actually killed him.

          But what’s important is this particular fucker will no longer be able to spread their poison further. Sure, they’re will be others, but some are better at it, and he was one.

          Idk if they’ve said what kind of gun shot him, but whoever did was was prepped for this. Sounds like it had a suppressor on, and the shot was done far away enough that there’s at least almost a whole second of delay before the bullet hit. Probably why the shooter got away. Which means the ironic timing was literally pure karmic coincidence.

          It’s also good to remember that people like Kirk would have no issue the same happening to the “others” they dehumanize, and have even encouraged doing what he just had done to him.

          Like the old saying goes: “They have to be lucky all the time. We have to only be lucky once”. This will definitely rattle the fascists and the rich. Expect Elon to suddenly carry around kids again.

          I assure you I do. I’ve watched it and enjoyed it.

          Nazi 2.0 supporter that incites violence towards others. Helped get Trump elected and how many thousands will die when Trump’s Medicaid cut takes affect?

          Fuck him, I’m fucking joyful he is dead

    Somehow I think the reaction to this will be totally different than it was when a gunman killed Melissa Hortman and wounded John Hoffman.

      I am pretty sure bullets are speach, so this is technically covered by the first amendment.
