It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.

-Charlie Kirk, 2023

Looked up more of that quote

So we need to be very clear that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. You could significantly reduce them through having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools.

True fact, one more dad at home and the shooter would have missed

So a gay couple is better than 1 man and 1 woman? I guess he was more progressive than I thought

There's footage from the front row with blood pumping out of his neck, like a lot. I'm not linking it but Kirk is probably dead.

LMAO! Rot in piss Charlie. Thought and prayers out for the old white dude who shot him. Can’t wait to see who the next rung on the ladder is.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Apparently the old white dude wasn't the shooter according to live feed news.

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Well then I hope they never catch the shooter!

“The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form,” Gavin Newsom wrote.

Wait, tell me again which regime performs and supports the most political violence in the world today?

disgusting take by Newsom

ah, yes, just let the Nazis do what they want, don't accidentally hurt them while trying to stop them from killing you

I was not expecting a Butthole Surfers reference, but it's a welcome one.

Some will die in hot pursuit

Fiery auto crashes

Some will die in hot pursuit

While sifting through my ashes

[–] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Why did they Photoshop his face to be so big?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It ~~is~~ was standard practice to Photoshop his head smaller so it fit in-frame, that's why the proportions look off.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

[–] Statick@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If someone is going to say they are willing to allow a number of deaths a year to keep our second amendment rights and then that person gives their life for that cause. I'll be happy for them.

He gave his life for the cause.

The wise man bowed his head and said, 'There's no difference between good and bad things. You imbecile. You fucking moron.'
