He was no angel.

Some people I know are taking a dangerous amount of glee in this. Not dangerous in a "Oh he wasn't that bad of a guy how dare you be happy about it" kind of way, but in a "You know people can see what you're writing, right?" kind of way. The sort of stuff that would get you banned from sites or fired from your jobs.
By all means, be happy about it if you want to be, I know there are some specific minority groups out there that are cheering the house down at Kirk's death, but be smart about it. Then again I probably don't need to tell anyone on Lemmy this since privacy and anonymity are pretty key elements of the community.
Looks like the person they detained was released. The shooter got away and is still at large.
May Luigi protect our brave hero

They detained this man in connection to the crime, however he has since been released. ~~Which is incredibly peculiar considering he and I were watching the sopranos together at the time of the incident.~~ I can’t remember who my sopranos buddy was at the time.

If you don’t have anything good to say about Charlie Kirk, don’t say anything at all.
Charlie Kirk is dead.
Good.
Who wants to take bets that the guy who shot him is a right-wing guy?

Somehow I think the reaction to this will be totally different than it was when a gunman killed Melissa Hortman and wounded John Hoffman.
