Too many people pearl clutching today over worries of retributive violence, as if the fascists aren't already going to be committing that violence on us in the near future regardless. It's not too early to say that this scumbag deserved much worse and I'm glad he got rocked so publicly. Mods I'll understand if you delete this and I'm truly sorry for the trouble if you do, I just need a personal break today from the media cacophony of liberals collectively reconciling with the realization that we live in an abnormally and horrifically violent society.
mass shootings committed by trans people, specifically
The order of events as I've been seeing online:
His last act on earth was cracking a joke about how only queers and poors are involved in gun violence, at which point he was shot.
Also while sitting in a tent plastered in "prove me wrong"
Thanks for extra context. These people really don't seem to care about others suffering. Also I don't normally hear gang violence and mass shooters together. Gang violence is generally targeted and not focused on the most amount of bodies.
Regardless I'm getting tired of this all, and it's likely only beginning.
It's a regularly used debate tactic of the right. He was going to imply that whatever number the student came up with for mass shootings was inflated because the criteria was too vague and erroneously counts gang violence. He would then have used this to simultaneously downplay the seriousness of mass shootings and suggest that trans people represent a larger proportion of mass shooters than they actually do. It was his way of discrediting the argument that the student was making; that trans people are actually underrepresented in the population of mass shooters. The reason for the student making this argument - if you don't know - is that Charlie Kirk has blamed trans people for mass shootings in the past, jumping on the conservative bandwagon that always transvestigates mass shooters because they believe they are a trans conspiracy.
Thank you because I know a bit, but I don't know enough about him and his shtick to understand the greater context. I'm also not familiar enough with those dog whistles to catch them all out in the wild
Edit: spelling
You know how in certain types of antihero drama where the protagonist is an assassin, they're always careful to make the target as cartoonishly obnoxious as possible at a kind of cue to let the audience know that they're not supposed to feel bad for them?
They could use this verbatim as the script.
I think it was the asker who also said "great." sarcastically when gang violence was mentioned (just before the shot), adding to the timing.
