Charlie Kirk, Trump ally and head of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck today at an event in Utah he was hosting.
Would to be wrong of me to offer thoughts and prayers?
That tiny face saved him.
How about casting spells and chanting?
Sure, why not? I have my own thoughts and prayers about it/him. I suspect they’re not all that different than yours might be. For starters, I thought I might care, and I pray that it hurts. A lot. And that’s just for starters.
I’ve seen the video. That dood is dead dead dead.
He’s good with it though
As long as you don’t suggest gun control might be in order.
That’s what I offered when my MAGA family informed me of the shooting. I explained that it’s difficult for me to have sympathy for such an unlikable prick. Like I didn’t have any desire for Kirk to be harmed, but now that he has…. How am I supposed to feel about a conspiracy theorist who has contributed to the rise of authoritarianism?
I love the Charlie Kirk short videos because they find the most woke progressive on a college campus who has less logical argument skills than a comatose wombat and they take the position “Men should be entitled to free abortions.” to argue with him.
I know they’re cherry-picked to make the left look like idiots but goddamn they’re funny.
Well, if you had “Charlie Kirk” in the “Who’s the American Horst Wessel?” pool, come pick up your prize, a year’s supply of martial law.
Bizarrely, shooting Charlie Kirk is one of those rare things you can do that make you a vastly worse person than Charlie Kirk.
Anyone feel like opening a Pit thread so we can offer our…condolences? thoughts? prayers? …with the full emotional punch they deserve? Or maybe ask to have this one moved?
Crap. Without looking to check, I assumed this was posted in the Pit, and it’s too late to edit. Apologies, and mods please delete.
If animated gifs weren’t pretty distracting, here is where I would post a low-resolution cartoon of a dancing banana.
I will be neither standing nor removing my hat during performances of the Charlie Kirk-Lied.
Yeah, this. Get used to seeing Charlie Kirk as glorious christ-like martyr for the Maga cause, as that’s all we are going to be seeing for the foreseeable future.
Well, I guess it is funny but for other reasons. Really, “Woke” is a good example of how the right turned good slogans into slurs with the objective to silence others.
I mean, you reap what you sow. What else is there to say?
He was supposedly shot from a building 200 yards away. I don’t think that’s a difficult distance for someone who knows what they’re doing, but it’s not some hack picking up a gun for their first time, right?
Took me a moment to realize the site was returning an error message when I tried pulling up the story on nbcnews.com:
Kirk, the right-wing activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was giving a presentation at Utah Valley University. Something went wrong!
