Why didn't he just edit out his death, like he did with all the debates he lost? Is he stupid?

Shhh, do you hear that? That's the bullet headed to my neck.

If America, and the taxes we pay for them to kill, kills innocent civilians, and most of us go along everyday not giving a fuck then why should we give a single fuck about this?

Shit my paid taxes paid less for this than more monstrous murders. There's less blood on my hands from this murder than the Israel Gaza war or any other war. Basically my tax payments have paid for more heartless shit than this. Yet that's all cool and this is supposed to not be okay?

I feel bad that his children had to witness that, and even if they hadn't been there (which they were) they'd undoubtedly have the video clip shoved in their faces eventually. That's a hell of a way to lose a parent.

The fact that he died while in the middle of talking about trans mass shooters being a huge problem certainly makes it feel like cosmic karma at work. I struggle to give a shit about the man himself being shot dead. But I do worry about political violence... it's a very rare occasion when murdering someone sitting in a chair talking is a good idea. Not a single person in his right-wing sphere of repugnance is going to do any self-reflection and change their ways, they'll just become even more rabidly anti-everything left of Hitler. Shit like this doesn't go unanswered too often. Violence is a contagion with no cure except time, and the clock gets set back another decade every time someone retaliates. I'm sure we could chain all of these assassinations together into a causal sequence. But even if they're all independent events, the narrative-makers will be hard at work making it sound like a grand battle of the ages, so the result is the same either way.

P.S. Any bets that the shooter was a MAGA nut? Seems to be the trend πŸ‘€

It's what he wanted. Quick, too.

It is fucked for those kids though. Not their fault.

This is a TRAGEDY! WHY couldn't they MURDER A BUNCH OF KINDERGARTNERS Instead? This SUCKS! It's TIME for Trump to send the Military into the Shithole Blue state of Utah!

I guess that is living up his beliefs; have to respect a man that does that.

He was literally lying about mass shootings when he was shot:

Immediately before the shooting, Kirk was taking questions for an audience member about mass shootings and gun violence.

β€œDo you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” an audience member asked. Kirk responded, β€œToo many.”

The questioner followed up: β€œDo you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

β€œCounting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked

Then a single shot rang out.

Advocating for the removal of others rights is violence. This seems like self defense.
