Well, Grok is right about one thing: Charlie Kirk getting shot is a meme video. A NSFL meme video, but a meme video none the less.

The very last word out of his mouth was "violence". You couldn't dream of a more ironic twist. If it was fiction, the writers would be sacked for being too on the nose.

Precision aim and precision timing.

And it was turning around the question about the number of mass shootings in the US to focus on gang violence

And "gang violence" in that context is a racist dogwhistle.

My dad has been saying that ck was never impolite, never insulting, never sarcastic, but tell me his last words weren’t sarcastic and racist.

Too on the neck.

I'm waiting for someone to take the gunshot sound and make an EDM track with it

I already found a Death Grips "Beware" edit over on reddit and it's so fucking funny

Does anyone have a link for the video? A coworker showed me but I'm not about to go out of my way to find it for myself, cause it kind of creeps me out to do such a thing.

It's creepy to look for a video but not to watch it?

I said "fuck it" and looked anyway, to no avail. Nothing but news articles talking about it, but none with the balls to actually post the raw footage. Thankfully another Lemming was able to help me out.

(PM me if anyone wants to see it.)
