I'd never heard of this guy until yesterday. He is some social media influencer that believed in the 2nd amendment. Apparently MAGA people are losing their shit, Fox News commentator claims this is an act of war.
Social media bubbles are wild.
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

And they want a moment of silence for him in europe, the other side of the ocean to them. Go suck your dusty mums, how about that? Moment of silence for your political crony barely any1 even knows? You've got a cheek.
"He had a wife and kids" - so do 30% of the civilian gazan casualties, the other 70% are the wives and kids themselves in Gaza, all deaths he condoned, so do I care about his death? No. Live by it die by it π€·ββοΈ
How many Ukrainians die per day?
I am pretty sure sure europe is tap out on empathy...
Don't get me started on Gaza
Us right are clowns
Reddit is going to ban a lot of people today. Some of them might end up signing up for Lemmy.
I don't condone violence, but I do celebrate his death as the world is now a little less hateful
The problem is that you have two sides who are against each other
One side just wants to live freely and happily
The other side wants to be allowed to hate, discriminate, lock up, and even murder those that they don't like, which is always people with darker skin, women, religions other than evangelical christianity, and of course people who sexually like to do different than them. They also want to be allowed to lie about everyone they hate to be able to stir up even more hate.
Now that somebody shot a guy from that second group, I have to feel bad? Fuck that shit, I'm happy. There is one less hateful person on this world.
He was a racist piece of propagandist shit. One less ~~mouf~~ head to feed on this lonely rock, I say.
Due to political figures like him, tens of thousands of Americans are shot and killed each year
I feel sorry for the innocents killed, not the people that helped promote gun violence
I condone it.
Nazis killing other Nazis is ALWAYS a good thing, something to be celebrated joyfully by all rational people. And with zero collateral damage it is a huge bonus.
While you are busy signaling how honorable you are, not only are they condoning it, but they are carrying it out on anything remotely hispanic or that just suits their political intentions at the moment. 11 dead on a boat, torture by ICE and deaths hidden by deportations to "shit-hole countries", financing and enabling a modern day genocide. While you are busy white knighting your ideals, they will be busy coming up with real or fake reasons to condone it against you.
Zero tolerance of intolerance. Revolutions are led by people like Luigi, not people justifying fractional improvements in a system decaying by strides. The guy should not have died, but society should not be in the state they have rushed it into. There are no perfect solutions in imperfect systems. I did not give a shit about the guy, but I certainly won't begin to give a shit about him now.
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the second amendment to protect our other god-given rights."
"We cannot allow them [the shooting victim/s] to emotionally hijack the narrative."
He died by a shot that could only have been made by a high powered rifle. Words to live for, words to die for. While not respected, they are poetic.
It was a .30-06 bolt action rifle from about 200 yards away, I thought?
Good thing high-powered bolt action rifles, like cars, have an identifying license plate equivalent serial number and registered bullet "fingerprint" imprints which can be traced because of adequate gun laws. /s
You don't have to. You have nothing to prove to them.
Kirk said gun deaths were worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment. I'm sure he'd include his own in that opinion.
I like to judge people by their own standards, making sure to apply their own ideology to them. This is why I'm perfectly fine with fascists getting shot, or conservatives going hungry or without medical care, or bullies being beat up, or bigots being ostracized. It's all tragic... But it's what they wish for, so I'll celebrate for them.
This is a good approach, genuinely.
Dude literally said some collateral damage is a-ok in defense of the second amendment. Remember him for who he was and knowing he was perfectly fine with other people going out this way, so why is he any different? He reaped what he sowed.
And I'm seeing a bit of "well we shouldnt celebrate this" type bs. No. Fuck that, full stop. If you're such a miserable sack of shit that people celebrate your death, then be a better person when you're alive if you don't want that. You don't get to ignore human decency your entire life and then cower behind it in death.
"Live by it die by it" he wasn't killed for his opinions, they weren't his he was a puppet and a good little bitch for his daddy trump. 300k USD of taxpayer money was spent on this man per annum, the shooter js did what Elon started and cut public spending π€·ββοΈ
i'll save my sympathy for the victims of evergreen high school who also had a school shooting but who won't get covered because the media will be swooning over this ghoul.
I had no idea until you mentioned it.
https://www.denverpost.com/2025/09/10/evergreen-high-school-shooting/
In a statement, Gov. Jared Polis said he was carefully monitoring the situation at Evergreen High and Colorado State Patrol troopers were on scene to support local law enforcement.
"Students should be able to attend school safely and without fear across our state and nation. We are all praying for the victims and the entire community," Polis said.
U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, whose district includes Evergreen, said in a statement she was "shocked and heartbroken" to learn about the shooting.
Wow. These statements really make it seem like American politicians are motivated to put a stop to gun violence.
The shooting at Evergreen High is at least the seventh school shooting in Colorado since the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School that killed 13 students and one teacher.
Well not that motivated
Do not let those with a monopoly on violence tell you that violence is wrong.
I got no sympathy for Nazis, the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi
So Kirk is now a good Nazi.
I will not celebrate violence. I will not celebrate murder. It's wrong.
I'm sure he loved his wife. He loved his church. He loved his kids.
But this very same man had no issue with throwing men with no criminal records in horrific south american prisons. Men who simply wanted a better life.
He had no issue with spreading lies about election results, even if the result was violence.
He had no issue with lying about legal Haitian migrants eating dogs and cats, even if they received countless death threats.
He believed Canadian gun laws were silly, any angry man should be able to easily purchase guns. He didn't respect Canadians. He laughed at them.
I don't want to sound like a horrible monster, but it's hard for me to feel empathy.
I celebrate because he tried to erase me and i outlived him.
free Luigi
We're not supposed to cheer the death of those that cheer on the death of tens of thousands of children? The guy was a zionist through and through and the world is better off with one less. Himmler had a family too you know...
Kirk was more a Goebbels than a Himmler, though.
Still, the point doesn't change. Goebbels had a family too.
You can absolutely be against violence and murder and still celebrate that someone awful is dead.
You certainly have no obligation to feel any amount of sympathy.
2 comments from a yt clip of London radio LBC in which James O'brien discusses this with viewers, which I'd say summarise this well:
βI canβt stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that β it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics,β - Charlie Kirk
I will in fact celebrate his death. We got here because we allowed tolerance to go WAY too far. Shame needs to make a comeback and if you actively advocate against other people being treated with basic decency, then your death deserves no decency itself. Respect is a two way street - a social contract. You break that and no one owes you shit.
I do condone murder and violence and will celebrate his death. Eat shit, Kirk.
I told my buddy. That Iβm respecting Charlieβs wishes and provide no empathy to the situation. It would be weak to care about his death. Thanks Charlie. And my buddy had a meltdown.
Don't feel bad for Charlie! He's graduated! He's now a good Nazi.
