He's right. Could be human decency, could be that Kirk wasn't evil enough, could be that the Andromedans made some good points

I hope the second part of this tweet is: "because there were so many different reasons to hate him."

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 9 hours ago

Still a coward, huh?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 29 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Could've been someone so far right that Kirk wasn't good enough

Kirk was one of the only people defending Trump's pedophilia outside of the White House.

Or someone so far down the rabbit hole that they believe the only way to get to "the next step" is to get it done themselves.

I'm fairly certain whoever shot Charlie will be left leaning.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

It's certainly possible, but so far the seemingly likely left motivated violence turns out to be right wing or just completely unhinged insanity.

Before they concretely held actual power, the far right might have glossed over their differences, but now that they have actual power, the unhinged people they were tapping into are turning on them for various reasons. Turns out extremism is not conducive to a long term stable movement.

The guy who shot trump wasn't. We have no idea.

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

This is true, so who knows.

He took out a chunk of ear, that's getting shot in my book.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

His ear is fine.

[–] Pulsar@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Perhaps was hate.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair charlie kirk has absolutely the most punchable face. If the sniper was just picking a person at random to shoot there's like a 90% chance it would be kirk

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

It could be that the shooter was aiming at someone else entirely, but the bullet just got trapped by the gravitational field of Charlie Kirk's head. Not only was it huge, but it was incredibly dense.

They can't say it if they do. Orange baby might have them targeted

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This has been a great, unifying distraction from the Epstein files

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Only if you believe the People are that singleminded
