Charlie Kirk shot and killed at a campus event

more than anything I hope everyone is extremely careful about keeping themselves safe right now

as per AP: "Immediately before the shooting, Kirk was taking questions for an audience member about mass shootings and gun violence."

oof

yeah yeah I don't think this'll have LASTING political consequences but I think this'll be tense for a bit.

I dont condone doing this to people but it feels very pointed.

especially since, yeah, he was making a racist crack about gun violence at the time of shooting

I'm not celebrating it, but I'm also not mourning his absence. that said, his children will grow up without their father now, so if anyone i feel for them

yeah thats whats upsetting that in the end kids are shouldering the burden of adult problems

that said, children have been doing that constantly in our epidemic of school shootings which Kirk claimed we have to put up with as a necessary consequence of our 2A rights, so. like I said. not mourning.

also worth noting that trump's immediacy to talk about this shooting over ANY of the school shootings where children died is abhorrently telling

just scrolling tiktok and got the very simple quote of: "am I speaking ill of the dead, or am I just talking about the awful shit you did when you were alive?"

ultimately
