“was believed to have been shot.” But was he really? I mean, don’t carotid arteries just sort of spontaneously pop, now and then?

Shot in the neck. I guess the face, heart and brain all presented too small a target.

Face? Is two of them not enough?

Well deserved. This will absolutely terrify these guys, their entire careers are based on being safe in public and one of their own was offed in a crowd of people with three different security forces on site. Queer folks stay safe, they will not respond calmly.

I will never celebrate political violence, but want to leave this comment from Charlie Kirk

"I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe.” -Charlie Kirk

As such, i think he would be happy to put his mouth where his money is.

Videos show that Kirk was going back and forth with a student about mass shootings and transgender people when he was shot.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Kirk was asked.

“Too many,” Kirk responded as the crowd clapped.

“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” To which Kirk replied, “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

Very few nicer people it could have happened to

where?

I have seen it posted on several news posts, its a link to a mastodon post.

It is very graphic, though. I recommend not going to look for it.

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 344d (1 reply)

Oh no, I'm inclined to say he was right. It was totally worth it

HandsomePotatoe@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 344d
