Link to tweet

Btw thanks to the DUer who 1st posted this tweet. Sorry I forgot his name.

[leftstreet]

1. Holy Shit n/t

[Irish_Dem]

2. Of course he meant OTHER people's deaths. Especially children.

[Farmer-Rick]

58. No one is safe when stochastic terrorism is let loose

The right wing just never thinks someone might accept their call to terrorize and aim it at them. They think they can control and direct where the violence erupts. They certainly never think it will erupt all over them.

[yardwork]

63. If only they read some history...

They would learn that many of Hitler's early supporters were assassinated or jailed by him. Or they could read about what Stalin did to so many of his close allies - even erased them from photos after they were executed.

Hell, read about Queen Elizabeth I and so many of her friends and lovers, look how they ended up.

[mtngirl47]

76. My first thought....Trump did this to take the Epstein heat off of him

What was Kirk's position on the Epstein files? Was he calling for them to be made public? If so, Trump should be a suspect.

[Attilatheblond]

81. Maybe sales of trump merch are down and Turning Point sales were going up?

Trump doesn't like competition and all the trophies are belong to him and him alone!

[SoFlaBro]

3. Every time a stupid MAGA motherfucker opens their stupid fucking mouths, stupid shit tumbles and falls the fuck out.

[Montauk6]

9. And when it falls the f**k out...

Best believe that it's gonna splash EVERYONE within distance.

[Traildogbob]

4. Fuck! Never saw this

Did see a male college groupie shout out at one of his rallies, “When does the shooting start”? Referencing killings libs.

[wolfie001]

45. That's all his incel base thinks about

Not enough validation from living with mommy and working fast-food jobs.

[Martin Eden]

5. Charlie Kirk would be an acceptable casualty

Schoolchildren, notsomuch.

[calimary]

6. He just got shot. Did he die?

[MissB]

7. well, I would recommend *not* watching the video where he is shot.

But if you did see it, you'd be asking how anyone could possibly survive. He was shot in the neck and blood was pouring out. His body stiffened up immediately as he fell of the chair in a motion that was not intentional. (other commenters suggest that means it also hit his spine)

[popsdenver]

12. In all fairness

if the Media shows a lot of video of him getting shot, and immediately afterwards to solicit sympathy, then we should ask the Parents of Uvalde? for permission to show the crime scene photos of their children.........especially the children shot who couldn't be identified any other way, except using their DNA.........

Yet another example for the Republican Creeps to FAFO.........and just like the two who went after Trump, this shooter was probably also a Republican?????????

[Exp]

17. Assuming he has a spine. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

64. His posturing indicated decorticate brain damage and yes the quantity

of blood loss was pretty obviously NOT survivable. I’m not sure he could have been saved if he was prepped and then shot directly on an OR table in a level 1 trauma center.

[PatSeg]

8. No

Though I haven't seen any reports as to his condition. I wonder if this will change his stand on 2nd Amendment rights. I doubt it, but it is possible.

[calimary]

10. Sometimes that actually does happen when the victim survives.

Not making any predictions here, though.

[PatSeg]

34. Now they're reporting that Kirk has died

I don't like the guy, but I don't wish that on anyone.

[James48]

11. I saw the video.

There is no way he can survive that shot. It was very well placed. I give him 30 seconds survival max.

[NJCher]

13. just announced on msnbc he's alive 4:29 p.m.

However, based on posts upthread, it sounds like it's dubious that he will survive.

[Exp]

20. So, first the bad news, then the good news?

[PatSeg]

36. Now the NYT and Washington Post are reporting

that Kirk has died.

[James48]

49. Again, I saw the video.

I give him :05 seconds to MAYBE :30 seconds before he bled out. It was a massive hit in an artery, blood sprayed, and he also moved as if his spine was severed in the process. It was clearly not a survivable wound.

[democratsruletheday]

75. Absofuckinglutely.....

I just saw it as well. He didn't live for a minute after that.

[yliza]

21. That's what I'm reading, that he's dead

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/breaking-charlie-kirk-has-died-after-being-shot-in-the-neck-in-utah/

[calimary]

24. Age 31 - holy cow...

I thought he was older.

[PatSeg]

37. Same here

I was surprised to hear how young he was.

[wolfie001]

48. He dropped out of college to do his hate-grift

He was very successful unfortunately. Now we have to deal with the consequences of his hate-spreading that's infected the brains of so many young, white males.

[PatSeg]

57. A sad end to a truly sad life

[Martin Eden]

74. Yes

On the news now.

[IbogaProject]

14. Thoughts & Pears

Guess he ran right into a "second admendment solution".

[Sogo]

15. That'll be on his tombstone....or SHOULD be....

nt

[maxsolomon]

16. Apparently he's not dead. Yet.

Made it to a hospital and into surgery.

On Edit: confirmed dead.

[kimbutgar]

18. I feel bad that I want to laugh at his statement now!

Maybe he will change after this shooting if he survives.

[dflprincess]

19. I'm conflicted

I'm fed up with gun violence and feel bad for Kirk's family & friends...maybe even a bit for him

But, darn, I do enjoy seeing Karma in action.

[BaronChocula]

22. I'll wait to hear he died

before I decide if it’s worth it or not.

[BidenRocks]

27. He died!

[BaronChocula]

41. Read it while sitting in the Dr's office

While waiting for my physical. Dr asked how I was doing. I said “better than Charlie Kirk.” I laughed anyway.

And I still think I’ll go with gun control. Sorry Charlie.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. Your wait is over.

[Johnny2X2X]

23. He was a legitimately evil person

Who advocate for horrible deaths for millions of Americans he disagrees with.

That’s all I got.

[Botany]

25. Him dying or even worse winding up as a quadriplegic from a bullet is kind of like Rush dying of lung cancer.

One less hate talker for money.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. He got what he asked for. It's obviously what he wanted.

Maybe guns don’t make America great though. Just, maybe.

[mzmolly]

29. "Guns, don't kill people..."

You know the rest.

I hate to be so callous, but these people are part of the reason our school children are being slaughtered. I’m having trouble mustering up sympathy.

That said, I do feel for his wife and children.

[tonekat]

30. WaPo and NYT front pages say hes dead.

Yep.

[Botany]

33. I feel bad for his wife and kids and wish them well but as far Charlie is concerned his grave needs watered.

A hate talker for money. The world is better off without him.

[erronis]

38. Which "him" in that photo?

[pansypoo53219]

31. thoughts + prayers of course.

[erronis]

42. tots and taters.

[wolfie001]

44. Yep! Seconded! nt

[pansypoo53219]

47. 2nd amendment irony. thanks wayne.

[Volaris]

70. The real irony is gonna be tomorrow when they dont say a damn thing about their Precious Amendment

NOT A FUCKING WORD. It'll be 'oh, this is about librul crimz in big siteez, so we better let the tyrant use the federal military to occupy our own cities.'
THAT ACTION IS WHAT THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT WAS WRITTEN FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE, (by the ORIGINAL MAGAs, mind you---the ones in the anti-reconstructionist South)

THAT is a problem that may require a 2nd amendment solution, NOT 'Charlie Kirk got shot by probably one of our own lunatics, so NOW we need more than Thoughts and Prayers, yeah too bad about those 2 decades of dead gradeschoolers.'

Dems, DO NOT let them off the hook with this. Yes, it's politics, and yes, it's dirty and ruthless.
So bone up and get your fucking hands dirty on this one. When asked how you feel about this, go ahead and smash that LIKE button that says SECOND AMENDMENT.

LIKE THEYVE BEEN DOING SINCE COLUMBINE.

[dlk]

32. Kirk gave his life on an altar of his own making

I’m wondering if his other colleagues are considering they could be next?

America is desperate for rational gun control and they refuse to see it.

[hueymahl]

35. This is really disgusting and disappointing

[wolfie001]

43. CK sure was

Repulsive right up to his early demise. No tears from me.

[Torchlight]

71. And yet is has no more nor less effect than "thoughts and prayers" does.

He's remains dead, regardless of parades and pandering to it or mockery and trivialzing it.

[liberalla]

39. I appreciate your thinking and caring for the wildlife...

Beautiful leopards...

[Botany]

46. Time to send ICE and military into Utah to arrest while people with guns.

You are right the poor leopards might eat too much.

[wolfie001]

40. tRUMP will have him in the Capitol for a ceremony

Fatso and his slovakian model gold-digger in her wide-brimmed hat. 2 stupid clowns. Just for the attention.

[SunSeeker]

50. Well, at this point the best tRUMP can do is give it to Kirk posthumously.

https://apnews.com/live/utah-valley-university-charlie-kirk-shooting-updates

[wolfie001]

55. Oh yes! I knew that

I was, of course, referring to the bier in the Capitol rotunda that's reserved for heroic Americans. Not hate-filled racists like this mf'er was.

[SheltieLover]

51. Poetic justice

[58Sunliner]

52. Oh my.

I'll drink a toast to him tonight.

[JohnQFunk]

53. That's just a damn shame. Hey - anyone else in the mood for pizza?

🍕

[Javaman]

54. the want to "own the libs" so hard that it boomerangs back at them. nt

[Queso Delicioso]

56. LOL

Quoth the leopard: om nom nom

[Hassler]

59. And some high school students in Evergreen CO also shot today

It's all about the guns.

[lanlady]

60. Sorry not sorry about one less rightwing gasbag on this Earth

I wonder what his death will do to TPUSA.

[yardwork]

61. Welp.

[Beacool]

62. His rhetoric was used against him.

RIP

[Clouds Passing]

65. How's that second amendment doing for you now?

[Blue Owl]

67. Let's have a 21 gum salute in his honor

[wiggs]

68. TSF and his kind have debased our country and lowered the standard for empathy, legality, moral behavior,

healthy public discussion, courtesy, and very much so violence.

I/we do not condone this lowering of expectations nor the violence. But for sure there are people and political entities that are due some blame. I am reminded of the republican Georgia election official who warned against this kind of diminishment. Back in 2020.

In a prescient and heartfelt warning against GOP silence re violence and rhetoric, his summary was that '...All of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this.' There are very clearly people and organizations that deserve an outsized share of the blame for their rhetoric and their silence. I will also place blame on MSM outlets which do not remind us of these differences and of the many warnings such as the one below.

[PJMcK]

72. So sad.

Too bad.

[diane in sf]

77. Kirk wasn't killed by a well-regulated militia. The Republican interpretation of the 2nd amendment and refusal to

sensibly regulate gun ownership has turned this country into a killing field. I feel bad for his children.

[3rdGenAntifa]

78. "Live by the sword, die by the sword"

Thoughts and prayers mother fucker.

All that are offended by this, wake the fuck up. These fuckers are already responsible for killing millions.

[dsharp88]

79. A horrible act, but he chose to live by the proverbial sword. nt

[EthanBlue]

80. I don't advocate violence.

I will take Kirk at his mantra. No empathy.

When you generate hatred, but especially for profit. It will find you.
