**Moderating:**

We are absolutely moving into Pit territory, and it just so happens we have a Pit thread on the subject already:

> [@Trump ally and conservative pundit Charlie Kirk shot at Utah event \[now reported deceased, same date 10SEP2025\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-ally-and-conservative-pundit-charlie-kirk-shot-at-utah-event-now-reported-deceased-same-date-10sep2025/1022916):
>
> Charlie Kirk, Trump ally and head of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck today at an event in Utah he was hosting.

[wasn’t originally a Pit thread, but moved there by OP’s request after it went that direction]

Feel free to talk about Charlie Kirk’s wife continuing his agenda or grift depending on POV, but comments like this:

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#):
>
> Not me, death is too easy for him. Like Trump, he should be forced to live in failure and despair.

Belong in the Pit. No warnings, just a reminder that it’s still a P&E thread.
