TIL guns don't work inside.
Nah, I bet they do.
If you've made it your job to spew hateful, divisive shit, then I feel like this is a occupational hazard. Get a real job.
💯
Or maybe they should just stop being hateful assholes
"Political Commentator" being anyone with a fucking opinion? Why treat this guy like he was special?
Wasn't there a school shooting in Colorado on the same day? But wait, these deaths are a price worth paying, right Charlie?
there was. but also, I mean Kirk getting shot was a school shooting in itself. he was shot on a college campus while students were there.
He ran an influential Republican media company.
Sitting state representatives and their families were shot and killed in their homes by someone impersonating a police officer...
If you make a career of heinously shitposting, you shouldn’t be shocked when at some point someone shitposts back with a bullet.
Honestly, the timing was jaw-dropping. He finishes a racist dog whistle sentence about gun violence, and less than a second later got his carotid artery ventilated. Just… goddamn.
Don't forget he was sitting in a tent surrounded by posters promoting his tour called "Prove me Wrong."
I mean. He did lose the gun debate the hard way.
If you haven't seen this season of south park...
Episode 2... It's about charlie kirk (the master debater) and it is brutal.
Poetry, really.
Don't do it MAGA! They're secret liberals trying to keep your audience count low so you look unpopular! Go to the biggest, hardest to cover areas you can find! Don't let them win! Do it without security to show how alpha you are!
Thank you Lord and Jesus, no one asked for them to do that shit out in public spaces so finally we can have a small return to normality.
weren't there like 3000 people? someone's asking them to do that shit.
When I was in school conservative events were always packed but only because they gave out tons of free food and other random crap broke college kids needed because they had the infinite money cheat code turned on
Hateful, divisive people who preach hate and divisiveness should probably avoid speaking in public. For everyone's safety.
..and if you're shot, the Kash Patel clown show can do fuck all to find your killer.
And they should avoid indoor closed events, and streams, closed circuit TV, recordings digital or analog.
Unless it's comedy or sarcasm, we should probably just dispense with the propaganda and do real news and fact-checking.
political commentators should stick to commenting and not preaching division, biggotry and hate
Charlie Kirk was political the same way the Ku Klux Klan is political.
Why are we allowing this to hijack the emotional narrative?
Fake news. It's a conspiracy to stop your message from getting out. They should go outside way, way more, preferably in hilly terrain or in courtyards surrounded by tell buildings.
Just don’t play stupid games
Wow galaxy brain expert!
No fuckin shit. Been saying this for years.
No shit?
