Yeah, news hasn't said he's dead yet, but the video is very gruesome. I don't see anyway he'd survive.

Very very not safe for work / lunch - click at your own risk. https://mastodon.social/@Ulfh3dnar/115181548207581457

of course trump needed a big distraction, and now media is only focused on it right now. im pretty sure melania is a reaper, waiting til you pass so she can have your will.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was eating lunch when I watched it. I'm fine. I have empathy when I step on a bug. Not for hateful people like that though.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I was just thinking about that. Someone will whine about empathy sooner or later and I've come up with what I think is a pretty good response, feel free to use it if you agree.

I've been putting up with their hateful shit for most of my life, exactly how many years of that are required before I'm allowed to have an empty empathy tank for them?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

You can do even better. Charlie Kirk said  "I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage"

Just tell them Kirk wouldn't want you to feel empathy.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Here is the correct response to people asking for empathy for Charlie Kirk.

“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage" -Charlie Kirk-

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

A friend is aghast at how I can react the way I do. My response is "do you think these 'just opinions' exist in a void?"

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yeah that was...very not gruesome? i've seen people hype it up but, like, that was nothing? unless you're afraid of blood i guess. most death i've seen in my life was way worse.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

You shouldn't be so proud of being unbothered by watching a person bleeding out.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

Damn couldn’t happen to a nicer guy

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Clicked on it. Yeah that’s some NSFL stuff.

[–] shani66@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

eh. that was a good bit of blood, but if you've seen someone die outside of a hospital you've probably seen worse.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah. Modern medicine is amazing, but that looks pretty much un-surviveable.

You'd be surprised. Trump would definitely have blabbed about it by now though

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, that's not a good place to get shot. AP news said he, "grabbed up with his right hand to his left shoulder" or some shit but that dude is unconscious immediately. Just that old "fencer's response" Prolly gonna die.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I unfortunately looked at it. The guy saying, "Yeah, gang violence" right before, is some weird shit.

Also, why would anyone kill him? He's been irrelevant for awhile now, yeah?

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

“Violence “ was the last word that shitstain said in this world. 🤷🤷🤷🐆🐆🐆

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Not just “violence”, but actively trying to downplay mass shootings by blaming them on “gang violence”. He’s a goon, but at least he’s the best kind of goon(a dead one).

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Oh the irony. A fatuous right-wing fuckwhit who loves guns (but who hates trans people and abortions - freedom for me but not for theeee!) gets shot and killed on a campus that Republicans recently allowed concealed carry on campuses. https://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/new-rules-for-concealed-weapons-on-campus/

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Where were the good guys with guns??

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd love to know the context for maximum irony.

My thot sand prayers go to him, and I agree with OP.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

From NYT (cw: gift link to live report with details of shooting):

“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yea, all that gang violence in all those schools, Chuck.

What a perfect time for him to be shot. It’s poetry, truly.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's my personal belief with absolutely no evidence that the person asking the questions and the shooter were working together. Those questions and the timing of the shot are just too fucking perfect.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Life is stranger than fiction. Yes, the timing worked out, that doesn’t mean fuck all. This isn’t a movie, and sometimes timing can be unintentionally poetic. The shooter could hear them, too, and may have decided that was the moment they wished to fire the shot on their own accord. Those types of questions are asked all the time at these shitty debates, it’s not even remotely special and it’s even a topic that is one of the core things Kirk pushed pretty heavily.

Everyone’s making up all kinds of conspiracies when the highly likely, nearly guaranteed, reality is that it was someone who came to the conclusion that the systems present in the US would not only do nothing to punish Kirk for his hate but in fact reward him for it. The same thing happened to a certain health insurance CEO for the same reason. They took the law into their own hands because the law does exist to serve victims, only oppressors.

Yes, this means the violence all too present in the US has finally come to white conservatives. Deal with it.

By your tone, it sounds to me like you think i don't wholeheartedly agree. Which is incorrect.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

If you take only that part of my comment, sure. Try reading the rest of it.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They’re trying to make him big again. So much for that, I guess

[–] db2@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He really stuck his neck out for it, worked himself bloody. He took his shot.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

and the guns stuck ~~to~~ him.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck, glad I waited to smoke a joint on that one. That doesn't really seem survivable. Especially with the way the body moved. Though I want confirmation.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

My mom is watching cable news and just texted me they said he died. I'll see if I can find a print version.

edit: He's dead. https://www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-blog/rcna230437?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll wait for another source this dude is always lying.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 9 points 1 day ago

AP has reported it now

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

He’s a narcissist. He only lies to make himself look better.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Loved and admired by all!? Good with the youth!? I know we are not supposed to talk ill of the dead, but do we have to literally make up lies about him?
