Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

Stop calling it an assassination. It was just another school shooting. (infosec.pub)

The fascist media is pushing the martyr narrative HARD.

I have to use all my strength not to scream at brainwashed family members at how horrid this person was. Mentioning the school shooting that happened on the same day or the MURDER of 2 Minnesotam democrats (and their spouses) usually shuts them up though. I just hate seeing everyone i know getting sucked into this shit. They weren't a good person, they were not improving the world, they were dividing us. I will feel zero empathy for them. As they would have wanted

I'm in the same boat. Nothing is worse than losing loved ones and an entire country to this cult. I wish that we could come together and take down the Cults and propaganda in the same way that we took action against Disney+.

Yeah it really sucks.

Unfortunately there is no way I can un brainwash them. The Russian bots on Facebook and fox news have them completely convinced Trans people are coming for their guns and turning all their kids gay. And dump is their savior.

Did a surgeon call it a "miracle" the bullet stopped in Kirk's body, somehow making him Bullet Jesus?

Yes, Charlie had superman-like bullet stopping strength. Sadly for him, the bullet stopping layer was just behind his carotid artery.

Turns out the bullet stopping power was the friends we made along the way

That's why it's important to always make sure you're at the centre of the group. An attack can come from any angle.

Candace Owens is already hard at work proving it's all a lie anyway.

The dumbest part of that take is there was fucking nobody behind him. Who would it have hit if it did go through?

It's a Holy Miracle! Bullet Jeebus was right there and took one for the USA! The Pope will canonize the bullet soon.

Of course, the miracle could just as easily be attributed to the skill of the shooter.
