Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is so surreal to see happen in the US. I’ve seen a lot of stuff like this in Guatemala but you kind of expect that here
Have we been watching the same country? I feel like this is exactly what I see when I look at the US. It's just usually a schoolchild clutching their neck rather than a right wing stochastic terrorism encourager
I mean this type of assassination towards a known figure. That kind of thing doesn’t happen often in the US as far as I’m aware. At least not as often as it does here.
It happens off camera to marginalized people in this country all the time. This time the victim wasnt marginalized.
We’d see much more of it in the US if our classrooms all had cameras in them
It's alllll bubbling over, I wonder if the president will go scorched earth because he loved Chorlie Kirk
Can't help but think the answer is a resounding yes. The right has been begging for this. Things about to get very bad
Right now some nazi fuck is probably gearing up to shoot up their local DSA office
Theres a ratio to the number of red hats in the audience that witnessed his death and the number of gun owners that's pretty frightening.
Hunker down, y'all
