He was shot in the neck and is presumably dead, as a staggering loss of blood was reportedly observed.
So many things I want to say, but won't because it'll probably get me banned....
So...
Thoughts and prayers!
They say you should only say good things about the dead.
Charlie Kirk is dead. Good.
I got perm banned from Reddit for saying that the only good Nazi...
Reddit is a shit country anyway.
You took the thoughts and prayers right out of my mouth
Sir this is Wendy not Reddit
nah, the mods over at /news are going ban happy if anybody says anything resembling approval of the outcome of this event
pretty pathetic considering the community and instance rules weren't broken
He was shot in the neck and is presumably dead, as a staggering loss of blood was reportedly observed.
At least he died doing what he loved
Spewing horrific quantities of shit better left inside, traumatizing and radicalizing all young people that witness it?
Yeah sounds right
I think he's going to live... He's in critical condition and the absolute worst scum on this earth never die, especially not young.
Now that’s an obituary I can read with great satisfaction.
Another former president, Democrat Bill Clinton, wrote on X that he was saddened and angered by the killing, adding he hoped “we all go through some serious introspection” and “redouble our efforts to engage in debate passionately, yet peacefully.”
Apparently Clinton can go fuck himself.
I'm not calling for violence, but I would be so very pleased if we have nazi hunters again.
I am. It's a reality of humanity. Most of us would like peace myself included. But to have peace, you have to be able to defend it. You can't be passive. It's kind of the idea of why you would have military, people ready and willing to fight to preserve the peace from those that end peace.
My great-grandfather wasn't exactly sad when he helped take down the Nazis. And I'm not going to be particularly sad when taking down a neo-Nazi. Sorry, they like to be called maga now.

My coworker showed me the video. Then proceeded to tell me that he's been watching Kirk since last year and that it was probably a "transgender" that shot him. My coworker is Mexican. Also several other coworkers stated that they enjoy the things that he used to say.
Yea this made the closet conservatives come out from under the woodwork. Instagram was awash with people posting his family photos that are otherwise outwardly apolitical.
Jezebel posted a story about paying an Etsy witch to hex Kirk just 2 days ago
Well damn. That's some effective magic lol
I have a couple people for whom Id like to hire her services
Saw the video and ya... he won't be walking that one off. Medical science has come a long way but that's testing the limits.
I can't find video since everything is flooded with news people talking about it and won't show the actual footage. Got a link?
Edit: found one on mastodon. It's extremely NSFL. Do not watch if even remotely squeamish. I fucking hate that motherfucker and it was still pretty tough to watch. Very lights-out.
I feel like it’s cruel but this should be posterized and waved around his funeral. Maybe the people dressed in black will understand the concept of empathy then, violence really does seem to be the only language a fascist understands.
These ass hats tried to make empathy a bad word to give license for them to be evil. But they will lash out and cry when other ppl don't show them empathy. Fuck 'em.
Warms the heart.
Warms the ground, briefly.
I’m all for gun ownership but you can do better than just accepting mass numbers of deaths.
Make gun education a serious part of gun ownership. Guns shouldn’t be easily accessible to anyone regardless of training.
Also American society needs serious unfucking at all levels. Conservatives are bonkers but the "gun deaths are due to mental health issues" argument has merit; healthy and well-adjusted people don't grab the closest murder weapon and kill random people. Guns are a scapegoat so that politicians can avoid addressing the real issues.
This is what the first img that popped up when I searched "charlie kirk meme"
Is it odd that I am kinda stuck on the fact he was not shot in the head? Like all those years of people making his head huge and face small when they missed out on the guys neck.
Seems like he probably deserved it. Probably more than those kids killed in schools yesterday and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the days before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and
Correction: I just remembered it was summer vacation recently so there was a brief hiatus of children getting murdered in schools. Sorry for the misinformation.
Possibly through the spinal cord. I've watched it a few times and its hard to tell. This whole thing has made me emotionless when these horrible people get their karma. I still feel for people that are clearly victims but find it impossible to see someone like him as a victim.
Aged better than Charlie Kirk.

Get wrecked white supremacist fascist, advocate for gun violence and against empathy means you shouldn't be surprised when someone takes you up on that bet.
"I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." - G M Gilbert
