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.
I like how every news outlet says “GRAPHIC WARNING”, then proceeds to blur it anyways. Like… wtf is the point? Can’t even find a link lol
I’d recommend avoiding it, you can probably get a decent idea from knowing he got hit in the carotid artery.
Already watched it. Meh. Final Destination movies are much more gore-y
Got a link? I’m getting strsisanded into seeing it because I keep hearing how gore-y it is and now I’m just curious.
I found one below. Thank you!
“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
To quote Jesus: live by the sword, die by the sword.
That’s all that comes to mind.
These people who have been pushing for getting rid of trans people and throwing immigrants in concentration camps, and generally just calling for (and profiting from) hate need to realize doing so only has one consequence: more hate. Hate boils into violence.
People can pray for him, but he did not live a life according to Jesus’ teaching when he preached hate.
Ironically, this assassin literally justified the 2nd Amendment. You use it to off tyrants. And boy they sure did.
Trump ally Charlie Kirk suggests children should watch public executions
He ended up being the one being executed publicly
“I have never wished for a man’s death, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
It wouldn’t surprise me if this was an inside job to distract from Trumps problems
Finally a good guy with a gun
It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas. Just glad this happened in Utah and not Illinois or California. Blue states will likely bear the brunt of the repercussions if there are any.
They were going to no matter what because no one is willing to stop them. Now there’s one less.
It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas.
Republicans are marching National Guard soldiers into the largest cities in America on exaggerated “crime fighting” excuses. They have established an unaccountable militia with ICE hiding their identities and violating the civil rights of American citizens on exaggerated or fabricated drug/violence reasons. They’ve needed no legitimate excuses to do these things, yet they are actively doing them. This changes nothing on that front.
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
My non-mod opinion on this:
Trump is posting Kirk is dead.
Not going to celebrate, just noting:
“I can’t stand the word ‘empathy’, I think it’s a made up New Age term.” - Charlie Kirk
Reminder that this is Kirk’s stance on guns:

Unfettered 2A is worth the gun deaths according to Charlie Idiot here.
ETA: holy shit, saw a clip and damn, that dude is dead.
You got to admit if you didn’t want to get shot, visiting a US school was a bad idea.
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.

So you people are saying it was OK to kill this guy but Luigi killing that CEO or whatever he was, was OK. Something is wrong here and it’s kind of scary.
I think people really need to inform themselves on what this person said and believed. It is some truly evil shit. He poisoned the minds of countless young people. He was a fucking demon.
Not going to celebrate political violence, but I’m also not going to shed a tear. And I think all of the praise I see for him is sickening.
Ending a human life is never something that should be carte blanche accepted or okay.
But if someone says “death is an acceptable consequence of owning firearms” and gets shot by someone? Hey man this is the world you wanted to live in. Rules for thee but not for me is not how this shit works.
Sometimes people are horrible and I’m not upset when horrible things happen to them.
I think people look at the past and go “oh yeah it’s a good thing those Nazis died in the 40s, and it’s a good thing those klansmen died in the 60s” and so on, but when it’s today people are like “oh no this isn’t appropriate”
But also yes something is wrong here and it’s scary. Climate change, the rise of fascism, consolidation of power in the hands of the cruel and stupid, rising wealth inequality. The world is fucked and it’s people like Charlie Kirk who deserve most of the blame.
Few people are saying “go shoot your Republican neighbor” (though I would probably nullify that too, as a juror) but the bigger dogs? Fuck them. They made their choice to make the world worse every day for years.
It your death reduces the amount of shit human beings on this planet then it is good that you die. This isn’t complicated.
I mean, is it a bad thing when bad people die?
I feel like there’s a negation missing somewhere.
Wtf is killing him gonna prove? It’ll just make a martyr of him to the right and prove to them the left is insane.
The way that shirt moves looked like it was pretty serious.
If Charlie Kirk didn’t get shot, the government would manufacture another excuse to punish people.
Same as it ever was.
I don’t know, this looks like the 2nd amendment doing what it was intended to me.
I just wanna say, even if this guy turns out to be antifa or whatever, fuck him. He stole the headlines from Trump-Epstein and made a ridiculous oligarch bootlicker like Charlie Kirk seem sympathetic. He didn’t do this to defend Trump’s victims, he did it to get attention. If he dies before getting captured, piss on his grave.
Hopefully though he’s some right winger who thought Kirk was too far left. Unlikely, but if it does happen then watch how fast this drops from the headlines.
Edit: I’m now increasingly convinced this is not a leftist. Ignore this post and thread.
Jesus god damned christ, shut the fuck up.
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.
It’s very human to make dark jokes during dark times. I honestly think the self-righteous overly serious virtue signaling does far more harm than the tasteless jokes.
