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.

The onion had a good headline, 'Charlie Kirk loses gun control debate by a longshot'

Where? I want to share it.

All I can find is "Trump: ‘Political Violence Has No Place In My Inner Circle’"

yeah you shouldn't advocate for gun violence when you have a massive critbox yourself.

I don't know a lot about him, I'm not US American.

I condemn violence in general but a person like him who helps polarize society, pours oil in the fire etc. may just reap what he sowed.

That's what you get, with culture war nonsense and playing sides of the political spectrum against each other. Strange to assume this would just stay rhetoric.

Main difference between him and someone else fueling the fire is the irony.

He specifically supported people bringing guns to schools wiith quotes that essentially boil down to "Gun violence happens but we just have to live with it to protect our god given rights."

He was the reason he could get shot.

[–] OnlineWizard@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

He sayd things like few gun related deaths each year is acceptable sacrifice if they can keep their god given right to bear arms. Also he said he does not understand empathy and it's just a made up new age term.

So he most definetly got what he sowed, what he deserved.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

He was saying that trans people shouldn't have guns because they commit lots of gun violence when he was shot (a lie as usual).

How many people have been snatched off the street and disappeared to secret prisons recently? Those people I am concerned about, this bigoted asshole eating lead while spewing bullshit…not at all. There is violence going on already and while I don’t wish for more deaths, there is no rehabilitation for a Nazi

I'm totally stealing this. Sorry, not sorry

I totally promise not to use this for evil

i switched over from reddit recently and this post makes me here to stay. Got a loud laugh out of me after reading all the undeserved sympathy this guy was getting.

I've been wondering for awhile now - at what point do ppl just start killing these fucking ppl. I guess that's today. Hopefully this a lesson/reminder in why you don't treat your fellow man like fucking dogshit, cause they just might tear your fucking throat out!

Yuh got permabanned from Reddit for telling alt right dude they only bitch when one of their own FO in the FAFO and that Nazis deserve sunflower seeds. Lmao that site is a joke.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago

Bruh... We are in for an explosion of political violence... Only difference between now and the past is white wealthy men are the targets. Watching them freak out when they are gunned down on a random Wednesday is laughable. Welcome to your average black Americans reality. Police killings are political violence but no one with actual power ever gave a shit.

Fountain of blood is an understatement. It looked like special effects. The guy went out like a DOOM villain. He died gargling on his own blood.

Imagine leading a life where millions are giddy over your death.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 15 hours ago

The craziest thing about that is that being a halfway decent human is the default position. You have to actively try to be a peice of shit at the scale he was

I feel like THIS is retributive violence. Democratic politicians were earlier shot dead in their homes, so I'd say that republicans (who are themselves endorsing political violence) shouldn't be able to feel safe either.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

Trump ordered flags to half staff. For a fucking shitposter. 2 congresspeople in MN get gunned down and nothing.
