Great foreshadowing too.
Earlier this year, Utah passed House Bill 128 allowing people to conceal carry firearms on university campuses. One of the campuses where conceal carry was now permitted is, of course, Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was visiting today. He was sitting under a tent with the slogan "Prove Me Wrong".
Immediately before the shooting, he was taking questions from the audience:

It's unfortunate that he's ineligible for the Darwin Award because he leaves behind 2 very young children and a culture warrior wife, because otherwise he'd be a great nominee for the 2025 Darwin Awards. Normally to get a Darwin Award someone has to directly kill themselves. But, I think in this case we could have make an exception for someone who was a cheerleader for gun rights and was sitting directly under a banner saying "Prove Me Wrong" when he was killed with a gun.
If this is a movie plot, critic would say this is just too cliche.
This was apparently done by a sniper, so not really a concealed carry thing.
Surely the sniper was stopped by all the people conceal carrying though? I'm told that lots of guns makes everything ever so much safer.
Nah, they need students with snipers in good high locations to scout for the bad guys with guns
3000 people all shooting their handguns at the sound of the rifle.... might work!
honestly deserves a whole new award category a la Herman Cain Award
Do we have a Hermann Cain awards community here
We don't, but I think the old community on Reddit kind of died out with the vaccines becoming wildly available. I will admit, that was the highlight of many of my days during peak COVID. It was fucked up, but therapeutic in some weird way.
Sounds good to me.
