Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Doesn't look good!!

Edit: Saw a closeup, he's πŸ’― dead. Jugular shot and it gushes like the Cool-Aid man shattered.

Edit 2: Fox is apparently reporting that he's admitted to the hospital, maybe he's a snowball that survived hell?

Edit 3: Mixed reporting on if the shooter has been arrested or not. A video showed an old bald white dude in custody.

Edit 4: Trump just had to be the one to announce it... He's dead. Apparently the old white dude was not the shooter. You can see from the distant video that people did not react to a close shooter, it was at distance.

If I didn't want to get assassinated in public, I would simply not spend my entire professional career stoaking an atmosphere of political violence and making it widely know that I'm a vicious and evil asshole who wants the worst for everyone.

APnews already has a list of democrats saying "no place for political violence".

There, however, is a place for violence when it comes to the American government murdering members of my family, other workers, those abroad, anyone who sneezes wrong, etc, etc, etc.

Social murder is too big a concept for liberals I guess.

admitted to the hospital

JFK was admitted to the hospital too and he was missing the entire back of his head

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 76 points 3 weeks ago (13 children)

Hopefully it's one of those cases where they take him to the hospital so he didn't technically die on the school's premises.

Charlie Kirk β€œYou will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. … 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.” 2023 TPUSA event.

With the size of this guy's head it's completely possible the gunman was aiming at someone else.

I really felt like these ghouls were invincible. I was waiting on the old fucks like Kissinger to die, but Kirk and his fellow fascists have gotten away with it for so long that I felt like I would never see them assassinated.

There will be a right wing backlash to this but whatever backlash occurs will be far smaller than the harm he would've caused in the many decades of his life he would've had.

This has given rise to a thought. The anti-adventurism reasoning I often hear is "think of the many decades of your life you could be contributing to the revolution that you're throwing away". But what everyone misses in that argument is that it should also be weighed against the forces of fascism that are taken off the board as well. Would this shooter have contributed to the left in the next 40 years what the late Charlie would've contributed to the right in the next 40 years? I can't answer that because I do not know who this shooter was, but I can say Charlie would've done a lot.
