I’m starting to think this Charlie Kirk guy kinda deserved what happened…
Honestly, I question whether it is ever deserved. However, Charlie Kirk advocated for it, so I'm not exactly upset.
Right, he may have not deserved it, but he actively campaigned on the idea that deaths like his were acceptable losses.

My local gay bar posted on Facebook about a massive increase in harassment, as well as a physical assault on a patron.
Stochastic terrorism.
A trans woman was attacked in Washington last week. People on Facebook are mask off, saying it was deserved.
Is this going to explode into an orgy of violence and then finally die down? Will something bad enough happy than people will be shamed back into calling evil, evil?
There were two separate shootings at homeless camps last week. I barely saw coverage of it.
I feel so much pressure and fear that I can’t think. I don’t understand why people are filled with so much hate. It can’t feel good, can it?
We have our Pride in October because of the summer heat, the board of my organization isn't worried about booth setup or swag or elevator speeches. They primarily want a map showing every possible exit scenario depending on where a shooter might begin. We are going forward with the expectation that Prides will be more violent. And that breaks my heart.
I mean the worst thing you can do is not do it, because that's what they want...
Exactly, we're steeling ourselves but we're gonna be there come hell or high water. I'm reminding my guys that the first Pride was a riot and the next 20 were protests.

It'll take multiple occurrences of a cisgender person being misgendered and shot to death over it for anything to happen and even then it'll be on the "thoughts and prayers" level of effort as it is with every other shooting that happens near daily here
When I’ve shared articles about cis women being accused of being trans in bathrooms/harassed, the response is always “this wouldn’t have happened if trans women stayed out of women’s bathrooms to begin with.”
They just seem to want to hate.
They are told to hate, so they do... and if you're looking for something your going to find it
It's sad to say, but if you are trans or even gay, you need to start executing your escape plan if you have one. If you dont have a plan, you need to start making one, fast. This isn't going to blow over any time soon. Help each other out where you can - there are plenty that will struggle to find a way out.

It breaks my heart to read a sane, reasonable person being in the US right now. Hold tight, I hope you survive this
I mean, most of the people being attacked are the sane ones... so there's that

These fucking slack jawed brainlets still haven't come to terms with the fact that Kirk's killer was one of their own.

Have you heard Alex Jones lately? Shouting ‘kill, kill, kill’ like a rabid baboon?
There will be more of this.
Imagine defying the universal odds and getting to be sentient for a blip of existence in a vast, ancient universe and you end up being this fucking loser.

It's not the point of the article, but this is absolutely not what a "martyr" is. I have the same reaction when ISIS members say they are becoming "martyrs" by suicide bombing groups of civilians. That's not what the word means, and you're just becoming a murderer.
The right are stochastic terrorist murderers, and we are the infidels.
Funnily enough he knows exactly where all the gay bars are.
He canvassed the area several times to really understand what went on. He couldn’t leave before tasting much of the menu…
Ya know, back in my Christian days I always thought it was pretty great that the bar for heaven was so low.... Now I crave the flame to avoid these fuckwits
Edit: typo
Don't give them that much credit. If heaven and hell are real, and God is just, these people won't be invited to the BBQ.

Officers said that he also made transphobic comments, including “transgenderism should be eradicated from public society.”
Hey Charlie? Where have we heard that from ? Charlie?
This guy represents the entire GOP and is one of their hero's. They are sad he was not able to complete his mission.
American conservatism is a racist domestic terrorism movement.
I'd say "change my mind", but you won't. Because that's quite literally what it is.

Surely the only tried and tested way to become a martyr for Chralie Kirk is to assassinate another right-wing talking head. This guy was just plotting plain old domestic terrorism. Mediocre.
Look guys. They caught another Antifa, about to commit political violence against the right. Oh, wait.
He told officers that he did not own a firearm but that he would buy one to shoot up the nightclub.
Okay... so dude calls crisis line to rant and rave and make threats. Cops get called on him. But then you go ahead and tell the cops you're going go buy a gun to shoot up the club?
You're in enough trouble as is, shut the fuck up, or actually don't so you spend more time in jail, but wow. So much fail.

Shame someone didn't "martyr" him on the spot.
A tragic waste of functioning organs.
