Was the price worth it, Mr. Kirk?

1. What a karmic payback for such an asinine comment!

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. That isn't how karma works

Most Westerners seem to think of it as "What goes aroud comes around" or "As ye sow, so shall you reap." But that isn't karma. It's about what you'll be in your next life based on what you were in your current and/or past ones.

[Mtnmama]

24. Yes, because I certainly don't understand Karma

Working in this life, where there are so many evil people with money, fame, evading justice and so many good people suffering greatly.

[SamuelTheThird]

29. That's incorrect

Both Buddhism and Hinduism teach karma 'acquired' in this life can flower in this same life.

Of course, karma developed as a mechanism to control the behavior of the mass. So maybe putting stock in it is foolish.

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. No. It isn't.

And your first argument doesn't prove it wrong. Your second is sensible, though. People should just stop using it altogether.

[Jack Valentino]

52. How about something called "poetic justice" ?

[Oeditpus Rex]

54. That fits.

But it isn't karma.

[Xipe Totec]

37. Epic FAFO. There. Better? nt

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. FA with what?

And FO what?

[Butterflylady]

46. Not always......

It's the principle of cause and effect, where a person's actions, thoughts, and intentions determine their future experiences and destiny.

It can happen in this lifetime or it can happen in the future.

That's why I follow the eightfold path.

2. The Second Amendment wins again.

[Justice Brandeis]

3. I condemn this assassination

The assassin should be jailed for life with no parole. We cannot ever condone this.

That said, Kirk made a lot of people very angry with his hateful rhetoric and it is not a surprise that those chickens came home to roost for him.

41. 16th Rec

Violence tends to escalate into a vicious cycle.

Though I won't shed a tear for Charlie Kirk, I fear reprisals will take innocent lives.

[Irish_Dem]

4. He meant OTHER people are just collateral damage in American's gun worship.

6. Soon too: He's dead

The MAGAts are sad.

[Autumn]

7. Well what a fucking hero. He died for his cause.

Hooray!!! Party time.

[Wednesdays]

20. Don't laugh too hard

We can just imagine what TSF has in store for him now.


And the corporate media.

[Autumn]

22. Doesn't matter what Trump has in store. Kirk is still dead and he's not gonna rise

in 3 days.

[mdbl]

33. Even though half the magats probably believe he will.

15. Well there ya go. Stupid.

Live by the gun and in this case Die By the gun.

[canetoad]

12. I only learned

Who Charlie Kirk was at this time yesterday morning, looking him up after reading a DU post. This morning - 24 hours later he's dead. Bizarro world.

[BigmanPigman]

30. That happens to me a lot.

I've learned to pay attention when synchronicity happens. Messages are sent and you are able to notice them.

"A coincidence is a striking but random convergence of events without inherent meaning, whereas synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence where an individual perceives a deeper significance or a connection to the inner state of their psyche."

[OverBurn]

32. Have you heard of this crazy ass orange dude that lives in a big white house. Please, please say no.

Crosses fingers, waiting 24 hours.

14. Oh man.. Talk about Reaping what you SOW!

That could be called Karma.

21. Yeah, I wrote that earler.. only it was

Live by the gun Die by the gun.

It's Surreal but here we are.

16. Unfortunately, irony is totally lost on republiscum.

17. his great idea to reduce gun deaths was to have more fathers in the home.

[Blue Full Moon]

19. Take this to heart

“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage” - Charlie Kirk
He literally was asked about mass shootings before being shot. Trying not to answer the question.

[lastlib]

38. No, Charlie, it was an idea thought up a couple thousand years ago.....

... by a Middle Eastern guy you probably never read about who said "Love thy neighbor as thyself." I bet that's new to ya, and you probably aren't going to hear it where you are now.

[QueerDuck]

23. This quote should be on his headstone.

You do not stop gun deaths with more guns

[TNNurse]

35. I do not want people gunned downed in this country

but I will no grieve or feel badly for someone who thought loss of life was acceptable.

42. Now he gets his very own coffin to contribute to his cause.

“some gun deaths every single year.”

His type is nothing but a grifter. Anyone who can argue that 6-year-olds can get their heads shot off in their classrooms so his buddies can play guns is not a serious person. He’s a social media grifter.

[EnergizedLib]

45. MAGA might try to canonize him

Just remember, if what happened to him today instead happened to you, he wouldn’t have cared less.

[Escape]

47. DELICIOUS IRONY?

That's what I would call today's news..

I sincerely hope that all of Mr Kirk's supporters and fans are celebrating the 2nd Amendment tonight.

[Puppyjive]

48. Chiming in here....

I did not know who this guy was. Another que that our electronic devices feed us with our political views. We are so divided and we need to understand both sides to be a civil society. I get a lot of info that clearly has a liberal slant. I try to watch FOX, but it is just absolute crap. I don't know if or how to change anything with the current internet companies that have figured out how to program their algorithms to fit our views. They are spoon feeding us division.
