My non-mod opinion on this:

Trump is posting Kirk is dead.

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

Reminder that this is Kirk's stance on guns:

Unfettered 2A is worth the gun deaths according to Charlie Idiot here.

ETA: holy shit, saw a clip and damn, that dude is dead.

Whoever the identity of the assassin is, they are clearly a good marksman. According to reports, they made that shot about 600 feet away from the rooftop of a nearby building. While Kirk was stationary most of the time, they landed a clean kill to the jugular with just one bullet and then made a quick getaway. That's Lee Harvey Oswald levels of accuracy. While I wouldn't estimate that the assassin was a hired professional. They likely have seasoned experience with firearms or possibly military or police training.

I get the strong feeling that this shooting was done by a professional.

• 1 single shot from over two hundred yards away
• shooter escapes like a ghost, and it doesn't seem like the police have found any evidence he was even there.
• a separate person seemingly providing a distraction so the shooter can get away and the police just let him go.

Makes me wonder a few things

• was this a false flag? (seems most likely) - especially when you consider the context of trump wanting to send military into US cities and the Republicans voting against releasing the epstein docs on the same day. This shooting was an absolutely fantastic distraction and could easily be used by trump to promote his usage of military against US cities.
• was this sponsored by someone
• was this another country?
• if the shooter escaped so easily, how likely is it that he does this again somewhere else?

A moment of silence on the floor of the US House of Representatives over Charlie Kirk’s killing has turned into a shouting match between Republicans and Democrats.

The commotion began when Republican representative Lauren Boebert rose after the moment of prayer to ask that the House also say a prayer for Kirk, according to multiple lawmakers who were on the floor during the incident, Axios reports.

Democrats then shouted “what about the kids in Colorado”, referring to a school shooting in Colorado that also occurred on Wednesday afternoon. Boebert responded that she was about to reference that tragedy before she was interrupted, the report continues.

Republican representative Anna Paulina Luna, who worked as Kirk’s director of Hispanic engagement at Turning Point USA, then stood up and yelled at Democrats: “You caused this!”

That prompted a raucous Democratic response, with Democratic representative Jahana Hayes, a leader on the gun violence prevention task force, shouting: “Pass some gun laws!”

Footage of the commotion from C-Span can be seen here on Instagram.

Trump blames harsh language for Kirk's death

Trump posted a video that appeared to be filmed in the Oval Office Wednesday evening on Truth Social, blaming Kirk's death on harsh political rhetoric.

He said "violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree."

He added: "For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."

U.S. terror experts have warned of rising threats from so-called stochastic terrorism, in which sometimes unstable individuals are inspired to violence by hate speech and scenarios they see online and hear echoed by public figures.

Whaaaaattt??? I am so totally shocked to hear this accusation coming from Trump.

After the FBI has already apparently arrested and released 2 suspects... That's another great thing about firing every FBI agent that was qualified to do their job in retaliation for Jan 6th. You never quite know what's incompetence vs conspiracy these days.

The Silence of a Fascist.

He deserves the same empathy and compassion he gave to other victims of gun violence.

Kirk gets shot and all the Republicrats: Political Assasination!1!1! 3 Dems get shot and one killed and the shooter has a hitlist: Meh…

He didn't believe in empathy, so I'm going to honour him by not having empathy for him. He was in a position of authority and power and advocated for gun violence over the lives of kids, saying the deaths in school shootings are "worth it". I can only sympathise for his poor children though. Jesus!!

I don't live in America but I heard 3 kids are currently in critical condition after a school/mass shooting. It's weird how this got way more media coverage

He spent his last moments ranting about critical race theory and George Floyd. He died doing what he loved

Okay. Let me try to make a comment here that won't get obliterated as it's going to be real, REAL hard to dance within the lines on this.

1. Hokay... I obviously do not condone violence of any kind. But... literally no one can be surprised by this happening. Certainly not them. They've been pushing extremely violent rhetoric for years and Charlie Kirk is not exactly a subtle small face in all of that.

2. Astounding accuracy. I mean it wasn't like Kirk was moving around a whole lot in the situation but still.

3. Huge crowd, or at least for what I would expect, but I'm surprised no one saw something.

4. Angle of attack is kind of surprising as well. Kirk was sat fairly low down with a covering over the top. Relatively shallow angle from what I could see in order to be able to hit him. Shot seems to have come from his right.

5. His right is exposed overall but does anyone know what's actually to the left there?

6. And lastly, I am wondering how this is going to impact Nazis like Kirk in general. Are they going to ramp it up or step it down? Also wonder how long before people start saying it was done by some trans antifa palestinian who came to Utah from NYC via LA.

Why TF would you release this news and not include the picture?

Good riddance to a monster. I feel sorry for his kids though.

Play Nazi games, win Nazi prizes.

Can we all appreciate the irony that Charlie Kirk was shot debating about gun violence?

Video (NSFNW (Not Safe For Nazi Work))

didn't know who this guy was, had to look him up. Good riddance.

Trump ally Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter says.

The extent of Kirk’s injuries were not immediately clear.

trump asked for prayers. They’re going full Christian nationalist with their responses.

Kristi Noem: The secretary of Department of Homeland Security said, “Byron and I are lifting up Charlie, Erika, and their family in our prayers right now.”

Pete Hegseth: “An incredible Christian, American, and human being. May the healing hand of Jesus Christ be upon him,” the secretary of the Department of Defense said in a post on X.

Mike Johnson: The House Speaker asked to pray “for our good friend, Charlie Kirk,” in a post on social media.

Dan Bongino: The deputy FBI director said, “I don’t have the words. God help Charlie and his family.”

Nazis are so goddamn weird.

Audience member: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”

Kirk: “Too many.”

The same audience member went on say the number is five, and proceeded to ask if Kirk knows how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years.

Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

Seconds later, the sound of a pop is heard and the crowd screams as Kirk gets shot and recoils in his seat.

Remember: The vast majority of mass attacks in the US have no connection to transgender people. From January 2013 to the present, of the more than 5,700 mass shootings in America (defined as four or more victims shot and killed), five shooters were confirmed as transgender, said Mark Bryant, founding executive director of the Gun Violence Archive.
