Live updates: Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at an event in Utah | AP News - Lemmy.World

Couldn’t happen to a better guy. He advocated for guns on campus, and got exactly what he wanted.

He stated that the few shootings were worth it. Not a soul should feel sorry for him.

I’m fairly confidant this is a setup for Trump to start taking away guns, though, not some heroic revolutionary.

I’m excited to see him try. Today there was also another school shooting, and none of them cared.

He advocated for guns on campus, and got exactly what he wanted

That's called irony.

Next up: RFK Jr dies of COVID.

Isn’t it only ironic if the event that happens is opposite of what is expected? He advocated for guns on campus knowing that it would result in shootings and deaths, he just didn’t expect it would happen to him.

Exactly.

The same way it's going to be wildly ironic when the ICE Gestapo starts going after MAGA voters.

There are several types of irony (not sure if this just applied to literature.)

Verbal irony is when a person says one thing but means the opposite;

Situational irony is when the reverse of what is expected happens; and

Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something that the characters do not.

This falls under dramatic irony imo

Results unclear, will need more data.
Trump almost died of COVID. They really hid how bad it was.
I never though I'd say I wish COVID did a better job...

He was a public facing little man on a totem pole. He had a lot of people watching him, could make a lot of sense to use him for a false flag.

With that said, I almost hope this wasn’t a false flag, and is more a sign of people starting to wake up to the reality of their country.

Agree 💯

I hope it is a heroic revolutionary, and I hope we have many more.

I suspect it is more sinister.

He also stated he hated the word “empathy” and thought it was a made up “new age” term.

My non-mod opinion:

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

Eh. He was disgusting traitor filth. It’s fine to celebrate. Fuck him, I hope he suffered.
It was instantaneous.

When a MAGA piece of shit gets gunned down, our Dear Leader is tripping over himself to praise the sonofabitch.

But when kids get gunned down at school, not a peep.

You know where the orange utan's sympathies lie. What a nauseating human being...

Trump leads tributes to ‘great’ Charlie Kirk after MAGA ally shot dead at campus event in Utah

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot while at a campus event in Utah

But when kids get gunned down at school, not a peep.

Hey, I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I have to correct this. In January of '24, when Trump was on the campaign trail there was a school shooting in Perry, Iowa that took the life of a sixth grader and injured 7 others. After a moment of silence, Trump did come out and make a statement. The moment of silence was 36 hours long and the statement was “get over it”, so it would probably be better if he had kept his mouth shut, but there you go. He did make a peep.

You had me for a second
Is this the kick-off? More to come?
I literally said it like 14 hours ago, nothing increases crime rate like making people desperate. This was bound to happen. And the more this country spirals, the more will happen.

I do not condone this type of violence in any way whatsoever. I never liked this guy and he was human garbage, but this is not the answer.

However… I do not feel bad for him or his fans. I feel bad for his kids who had to witness it and will now grow up without a father and I would never wish that upon anyone. Unfortunately, when you base an entire career off of hate you’ll only get hate back. We’re talking about the same man that said school shootings and people dying from gun violence are necessary sacrifices. The same man that wanted to bail out the guy that assassinated two Democratic lawmakers. The same man that stopped talking about Epstein as soon as Trump came up.

I think political violence is disgusting and a slippery slope to so much worse, but I do not feel bad for this man for facing the consequences of his actions and hate.

It’s high time the traitor filth suffer the fear of the masses.
Sometimes violence is needed. You know your revolution you guys are so proud of. When rich white guys didn’t want to pay taxes. Oh not much has changed.
Does this qualify as a Herman Cain award?
It can qualify for every Nobel prize for all I care as long as the piece of shit stays dead.
Most of my conservative coworkers haven’t even posted anything about his death on Facebook, instead they are posting about how COVID-19 is still being used as a weapon.
