If it makes you feel any better they were already planning to do whatever awful shit they're about to do and would have found some other excuse to do it.
I understand that, but we can't pretend this isn't going to precipitate anything.
Yep. The right has been begging for something like this to happen. Might even have been a false flag
I really doubt it was a false flag. Kirk was pretty useful to them alive, too.
As much as I'm glad this piece of shit got some of what he deserved, I feel more worried than happy.
I fully believe this is going to lead to a wave of mass shootings in colleges right-wingers perceive as "liberal".
I thought that would happen after the failed Trump assassination. This one succeeded obviously, but Kirk is nowhere near as important to their movement as Trump is.
My Trump weirdo parents are freaking out and calling for blood, which didn't exactly happen when Trump got winged. Its feeling pretty ominous right now.
elaborate
I think it's worse because all of his audience members have a parasocial relationship with him. They'll be vying for blood
Yeah already saw a few of these deranged freaks in Hasan's comments saying he'll be next
Yeah, I'm scared about what it would be like to attend some of the talks I've been to on campus now. Kinda like Oct7, it seems like an event that is extremely likely to cause an echo and I don't like the direction that echo is gonna come from and how many more guns that side has.
CW: Doomerism
I think we will definitely see the murder of a pro-Palestine speaker, or similar, on a college campus before the year is out. The only question is where and how many times. Kirk had a large fan base of nazis who are now out for blood.You are overestimating how big left wing voices are in the country and also overestimating how big kirk is
The only pro Palestine voice that is big and seen as scary "Left" is Hasan and hasan isn't even that well known
I don’t think it will happen to somebody big, necessarily. Nazis prefer to go for targets such as children and students.
Right after October 7 the university near where I live had a small table set up by the local SJP chapter and the local media immediately went into a hysterical rage with the end result being them getting ganged up by zionists making death and bomb threats and vile sexual comments with impunity.
Kirk is getting front page obituaries on every national news outlet, fawning adoration from every politician including the UK Prime Minister, a state-mandated mourning period and maybe even a state funeral.
When his nazi fans hear on the local news that the woke leftists are hosting an event at the local university, that could very well send them over the edge. And these are the types that have been fantasizing about murdering protesters in general well before Kirk was fired from life. Now they are looking to avenge his death, and while the pro-Palestine “Kirk” might be Hasan, they will probably go after softer targets, like university students they suspect of being pro-Palestine. Trump & Co are already fanning the flames of stochastic terrorism in this instance.
In my opinion, if Trump getting pretend arrested is enough for one of his fanboys to try to shoot up FBI HQ, I think another one of their idols biting the dust is more than enough to get them to lash out at much more vulnerable targets.
I say the target will be pro-Palestinian student organizations not because I think they are powerful but because in the campus culture war context, they are seen as occupying the opposite space to the Charlie Kirk/TPUSA types
I agree with parts of this but to me the only way ,anyone would try to avenge this is to kill someone like Hasan since he is the only figure that could be classified as what kirk was for "the left"
if the people become full on nazis from this then I think most targets will end up being jews and immigrants
I do agree a lot of kids are gonna get killed tho
This is the only way to get these fucking worms to stop
Yeah that's been my most desired outcome. I really want this to make Shapiro, Bongino, Owens, Crowder, etc to shut the fuck up forever out of fear. I'm fucking sick of reactionary debate shitheads existing. It's so transparent. They're just dancing ghouls that the bourgeoisie use to make us chase our own tails. They're bullshit artists whose only talent is wasting everyone's time and being a bigot.
Hopefully they'll go out in public less often.
Yeah I'd be all for peaceful options if any of them worked
I think this is incorrect reporting. BBC reported that he's in critical condition at the hospital, 4 minutes ago.
edit// https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-turning-point-usa/#post-update-da9fb0de
TPUSA (his company) told CBS 1 minute ago that he's in the hospital. ''' "He was shot in the neck. He's at the hospital," Minas said. '''
edit 2// Charlie Kirk has died. https://archive.is/Y7bKc
They might be holding back for whatever reasons (notify the family first or something) but if you watch the video, and obviously I do not encourage anyone to do so, it's pretty clear he died instantly. He got shot in the carotid artery. I'll spare people further graphic details, but yeah. You do not survive that sort of wound. He'd need a surgeon literally next to him ready to go to even have a chance.
It looks like they've called it so I'm not worried about the lathe now, but I wouldn't have put it beyond the money backing him to do everything they could to keep him alive as vegetable to be carted out on demand.
Darth Kirk isn't real because he's fucking dead LMAO
I guess I'll check back in in an hour or so.
Confirmed on truth social by Trump 2 minutes ago
Yeah... We live in the shit timeline, he's going to survive I'm sure. :/
nah, he's dead
Was just confirmed
EDIT:
Thanks for the update!
I told a friend if he lives that would be proof God exists and is just a massive piece of shit. Looks like atheism is still on the menu!
