God made sure only Charlie Kirk was killed. It's as if God smote Charlie in the middle of a crowd, in the middle of saying hate, and spared the onlookers.
Yeah, I don't think that's a good thing for fans of Charlie.

Except any time you point out inconsistencies in their beliefs they'll just wave it off with "goD wOrkS In mYsTerIoUs wAyS"
They have belief without evidence. And a Sky Daddy. They don't need logic or reason
It was gods will. Clearly.
He was dense
Is this why his face was so small? The density?
It was a visual indicator of the thickness of his skull.
they are going to try and make him a fuckin Saint? I wonder which white nationalist religious wacko will try to have him canonized ....
I saw some Republicans in Congress were calling him the 13th disciple of Jesus. There's definitely an attempt to infuse religion into the mythology being constructed around him.
If I was a Christian I'd be pissed at that
I believe this is called "heresy" if evangelicals and NARs and the rest actually cared about that.
Was he Catholic? Or do protestants even have saints?
no and yes. I think the Christians that do it use the same rules for recognition but don't require the Pope's declaration
I can't imagine most protestant denominations have the organizational and bureaucratic capacity for catholic sanctification. It looks like Anglicans kept the pre split saints and then created a new category of heroes and they seem to do their own thing for it. That's the most similar protestant denomination to catholicism.
It's really hard to imagine a scenario where the baptists are organizing enough to do a trial where evidence for and against sainthood are presented. Also the concept of saints is entirely Tradition so it violates sola scriptura
The doctor added that Kirkβs "bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that heβs like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too."
Do people really believe these fairy tales? It's the same absurd rhetoric they use regarding Trump. Reminds me of the rhetoric North Korea uses about Kim Jong Un
There was no one behind him and the shooter took one shot, how would someone else have been killed?
Bro have you not seen how the shot moved around the car in the JFK assassination? Quantum bullets are out of control.
Holy shit these people are insane
Like actually insane and unreasonable
A guy who knows him said a doctor said he had a bulletproof neck? And this is national-level news to publish?
anything goes when you are in a cult
as someone on twitter said: "atheist teenagers wish they could be half as blasphemous as american believers"
Maybe more fascists can perform the same miracle. We should absolutely try all of them.
What does this say about the Trump assassination attempt where that firefighter was killed?
Bullet fired WITH the shell casing. Impressive.
It's 65% more bullet!
Wow that's actually a real tweet. That is fuckin crazy.
uhh...I have the video. That thing absolutely came out the other side...explosively.
Maybe if his supporter sucked each others dicks this hard while he was alive, maybe they wouldn't have been so miserable now he is gone.
Obviously the guy was so full of hardened shit that the bullet just couldn't find its way out.
They are just salty about the Saint Luigi memes
It's like super man because like a comic book, this narrative is likely fiction.
It's worth looking into at least at a superficial level what 30.06 cartridge does to humanoid test dummies. It's practically impossible that Kirk was hit by a 30.06 round without complete painting that entire tent red.
.30-06 round weighing 180 grains leaves a 24" barrel at about 2,700 feet per second, which gives it a kinetic energy of around 2,900 ft-lbf. With this much energy, that round, if full metal jacketed, will reliably penatrate 20+ inches of ballistic gelatin, a common substitute for animal muscle tissue, and if that round is a hollow point it will reliably penatrate 16+ inches of ballistic gelatin. My neck is about 7 inches thick as an average size person. Unless a person has a cervical spine made of titanium and Kevlar, and/or are just about 4 times as dense as your average Joe, an impact by a typical hollow point .30-06 round with that speed and energy in the human neck region would most often decapitate, or nearly so, and a full metal jacketed round would easily pass clean through. In contrast, the handguns carried by many police officers, the Glock .40 S&W, firing a 180 grain round out of a 4" barrel scoots along at about 1,000 feet per second, having a muzzle energy of about 400 ft-lbf, this being the defacto gold standard for killing human beings. .30-06 is quite literally a round made for war, and is typically used to hunt large game, as it has a tendency to completely and thoroughly rapidly disassemble smaller game into unusable sized chunks.
Nothing is impossible, but not all things are likely.
I encourage every Republican to get a .22 and try this on their head. I have faith in their ability to stop the bullet from exiting their skull.
The body has ways of shutting this down.
Calling a person that literally got a hole shot through them a "man of steel" has to be the most perfect microcosm of Fox's entire reporting style, lmao.
"Compelling evidence of XYZ actually PROOF of Not-XYZ upon closer inspection"
of course his neck was super thick, how else could it support that massive dome?
Well, he literally died for their sins after all
I bet the bullet hit his spine. Hence the immediately floppy dead. As opposed to being due to the blood loss.
Yeah to me it looked like he had a fencing response, which can accompany head/spine injuries. Wouldn't be surprised if the bullet hit his upper spine or ricocheted into the base of his skull or something.
Well, I guess it's a good thing the bullet hit him first, then?
Seriously. What is the appropriate take-away here?
If only they could tell us which other conservative chuds are bullet sponges so we can put them in schools to stop shootings there.
There wasn't even anyone standing behind him he was on a stage, standing between two other people but there was no one behind him.
I think it's much more likely that the governmnet lied about the caliber of the bullet than this guy's neck stopped a 30-06.
...contrary to JFK who couldn't stop the bullet from hitting that guy in the front seat. Take that, democrats!
Evangelicals are gonna declare him the only saint lol
