Political activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk shot at Utah

[Bombadil]

It's up there with my idea that guns should be handed out only to children with A grades, it would quickly solve the gun problem AND the education problem, god knows people would up their grades quick if there's guns in the playground and more educated people don''t tend to shoot people.

I have sent countless emails to the White House on this,

Terrible idea. Doesn’t teach the kids enough resourcefulness. What we should do is give every child the files to 3D print guns.

I think if we marry the two and only give A grade students the files we up resourcefulness and education together.

If the perpetrator escaped they may have allies in Mexico.
There satanist Nazi cartel in Mexico.

I can't tell if you are kidding or you are 100% serious and that worry's me.

Tbf if you look at captured cartel guns a lot of the tricked out ones tend to have swastikas and picture of Hitler on them so I guess there are Nazi cartels running around. Thing is they do that to a lot of 1911’s…

Numerous random Twitter users are not representative.

Why don't people's statements reflect their beliefs, now?

Individual folks beliefs, sure, but one person (especially with leftists) does not repersent others. Condemn each person saying "I wanna kill ben Shapiro" not everyone who shares a ideology with that person. Unless they are a Nazi.

Even better: we give Grade A students the files, and we assign them as bodyguards to political pundits, so when the next one gets shot, they can start shooting wildly and they might hit the shooter

FFS..

Representative Andrew Clyde, a Georgia Republican, said on Thursday that he supports his colleague Anna Paulina Luna’s call for a statue of Charlie Kirk to be placed in the US Capitol, since, he told a reporter, “we have a statue of MLK in the Capitol, don’t we?”

Kirk paid for busses taking people to January 6th..

All of the sympathy he expressed for the Palestinians is exactly the same level of sympathy I have for him.

The only thing King and Kirk share is getting shot.

And the first two letters of their surname.

I am defending against false allegations from a post that inferred that Charlie Kirk was a racist among other things. What is the purpose of your post, if I may ask?

Learn the difference between imply and infer.

You implied then. good grammar makes for good conversation.

Having a statue of him would be a complete and utter farce.

All my empathy goes toward his family, especially his children.

I condemn this assassination as a decent human, but I cannot come to the conclusion that Charlie Kirk made an overall positive contribution to American society. I think what he did was his G-d given right, but I can’t come to the conclusion what he did for a living was a good thing.

Well, he was a Racist. Doesen't make him deserving of death, but he was a racist and vile human.

that's huge

[San Lumen]

Wow one Reddit user. That means everyone on the left wants every conservative dead.

X, actually. And there are plenty of people online celebrating this tragedy.

Social media is not representative of anything whatsoever.

If social media is not representative of anything, then why do you say it should not exist? One can admit that plenty of people have a 'good riddance' attitude to this, it's fine to accept it, passions are politically high on both sides at the moment.

[Northern Steakia]

If Charlie Kirk getting shot leads to a Second American Civil War I might just piss off from this country altogether to be frank.

Because it’s responsible for a lot of the misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric in recent years because the companies refuse to fact check or do anything about hate speech.

Those celebrated his death aren’t a majority.

[Liebherria]

It seems that most of us agree that nobody should be murdered based off of their politics and beliefs?

It's a shame this has to be asked.

My thoughts are with his wife and young kids.

I mean.. the advent of the printing press led to much the same, leading to the death of plenty of women for being witches after Malleus Maleficarum came out. it led to civil wars and huge persecution as the Church lost its dominance on published materials.

Progress always leads to chaos, but would you go back and ban the printing press.

History is a long game.

For once I agree with you.

I’d say hopefully his kids are too young to realize what happened but I know that 1: that’s false and 2: even if that was true this will still affect them negatively for the rest of their lives.

When it comes to people like Charlie Kirk—and I apply this to both the left and the right—I view them the same way I view that one libertarian conservative who absolutely hates pornography and OnlyFans. He thinks it contributes to the overall moral decay of America, but he doesn’t want to use government force or censorship against it.

The perpetrator deserves capital punishment in my opinion

[Ifreann]

This is why we need the Second Amendment, in order to protect ourselves from the deranged and the psychotic who wish to murder us all. We need, now, more than ever, rifles and firearms. An X user told Bn Shapiro to “lock [his] doors”, because “[he] is next”.

I mean that’s useful in a home invasion or being assailed face to face sure, but Kirk was sniped. Kinda hard for your average Joe to protect against that.

Nah, I'd parry.

[Dreadford]

Judging by this very thread, I suspect you overestimate how unpopular murder is.

im not going to take nation states and far right people online as evidence for the popularity of something.

Honestly this is the best point you've made.

If Charlie Kirk getting shot leads to a Second American Civil War I might just piss off from this country altogether to be frank.

I can get the sentiment, but despite all the chaos and all the threats on schools today, I don't think it's gonna keep building up, especially with Trump even deciding to call for non-violent means of responding to the event. Today has been really upsetting, objectively. A school in my small ass area was one of many to receive threats. But I'm thinking (hoping) it will subside.

the funny thing Charlie kirk is just turning into a MAGA martyr. but it is sad that Charlie kirk death is just turning into a culture war. RIP Charlie kirk

This isn't 100% confirmed, but 4Chan is rumored to have identified a lead- an account with a name or alias called Skye Valadez had a sound cloud where he uploaded a song titled "Charlie Kirk Dead at 31" a month ago. How would they have advance knowledge of that outcome unless they did it or were part of this plot?
