I mean, the guy was basically just asking for it.

Anyone who promotes gun ownership, dismisses gun violence, and justifies it all with the defense of "freedom" that's been steadily eroded away by government for as long as I can remember until we're all basically wage slaves working for scraps while the modern aristocrats (1%ers) sell and rape young children for fun and profit then have a royal dinner to stroke eachothers ego at the house that's supposed to represent democracy and freedom, but is almost always occupied by authoritarian assholes.... Then gets shot for the effort?

Well, I'm not going to be sad that it happened.

We need to turn these childfuckers into fertilizer.

Not too soon. Perfectly timed. He didn't give a shit saying it when others got shot, so why should he be extended the courtesy they didn't get?

Nope. Absolutely no sympathy for Charlie Kirk. Fuck em'.

He makes a convincing argument...

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

I'll admit seeing the blood rush out of his neck was pretty convincing, but it just doesn't put me over the edge.

Sometimes relevant information is "distasteful." Relevance beats distastefulness.

Chaffetz: "Now I happened to be watching Charlie. I can't say I saw blood. I can't say I saw him get shot, but as soon as that shot went out, he fell back."

His brain must be blocking the sight of the blood to protect him, no joke.

Yeah I saw a video and there was BLOOD. Movie like really.

I used to browse r/watchpeopledie and out of all the deaths I've seen charlie had a pretty bloody one. A shot to the neck'll do that I guess.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

That amount of blood, in that very short period of time shown in the video - ain't nobody gonna stop that with a shirt and a hand. I can't begin to imagine how much more blood there was after the video cut.

…out there.

I just find it crazy that someone is willing to do time for getting Charlie removed. Wouldn't be me.

Oh well. Not going to dwell on this too long.

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

It's really not that crazy, imagine if this asshole was demonizing you and you had to put up with shit from his supporters, too.

Not soon enough

Thank you for that reminder. This is leopardic and beautiful.
