Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.
Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.
Kirk gets shot and all the Republicrats: Political Assasination!1!1! 3 Dems get shot and one killed and the shooter has a hitlist: Meh…
Oh, so this is the school shooting that Conservatives suddenly give two shits about?
My water heater started leaking over the weekend. It was only seven years old, but I suppose since the warranty was six years, I shouldn't complain? Anyway, I installed my new water heater today, so I can shower again. This one has a 12-year warranty, it might out live me.
I just took a shower, I feel great. I'll be going for a walk around sunset. It's been a good day.
Natural gas, electric or heat pump?
InB4 the FBI finds a random trans person to blame/frame for his death.
He was sitting at what he calls the "prove me wrong" table, answering questions about gun violence.
I think someone managed it.
Former President Barack Obama stressed that "this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy."
With all due respect sir, if our democracy were functioning for all of the people instead of just for the rich, people wouldn’t feel the need to vote with the ammo box.
Former President Barack Obama stressed that “this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.”
Killing people who want to destroy your democracy has a place in every democracy.
He deserves the same empathy and compassion he gave to other victims of gun violence.
He is getting it too.
So wait, we don't lower the flag for school shootings but we'll lower it for this ... person?
Trump ally Charlie Kirk suggests children should watch public executions
He ended up being the one being executed publicly
Well, I have to give him credit for putting his money where his mouth is.
He spent his last moments ranting about critical race theory and George Floyd. He died doing what he loved
He was no angel.
And nothing of value was lost
Given his attitudes towards guns and empathy, I see no need to be nice -or even civil - about his death. He preached scorn and cruelty, so we should honor that by returning it (legally) with interest.
Trump ordered flags at half mast until Sunday. So this piece of shit got what he quite literally asked for and it’s a national tragedy, but innocent children killed in schools on a weekly basis get “nothing we can do about it, thoughts an prayers 🤷♂️.” Fucking clownshow.
Did Trump order flags half mast when that shooter targeted Democratic politicians in Minnesota?
Release the fucking Epstein files.
You got to admit if you didn't want to get shot, visiting a US school was a bad idea.
This is what the second amendment was for. Theofascism has no place here.
I expected a megathread when Israel bombed Qatar, not when some white-wing guy got shot.
People really like a personal story over geopolitics, eh.
