Imagine defying the universal odds and getting to be sentient for a blip of existence in a vast, ancient universe and you end up being this fucking loser.

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Guy is ugly AF he is peak gooback.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gooback? That's a new one to me. What's it mean exactly?

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

He tookerder!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funnily enough he knows exactly where all the gay bars are.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

He canvassed the area several times to really understand what went on. He couldn’t leave before tasting much of the menu…

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This guy represents the entire GOP and is one of their hero's. They are sad he was not able to complete his mission.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

American conservatism is a racist domestic terrorism movement.

I'd say "change my mind", but you won't. Because that's quite literally what it is.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They said it themselves at CPAC a few years back. I'm sure someone has the picture...

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

He told officers that he did not own a firearm but that he would buy one to shoot up the nightclub.

Okay... so dude calls crisis line to rant and rave and make threats. Cops get called on him. But then you go ahead and tell the cops you're going go buy a gun to shoot up the club?

You're in enough trouble as is, shut the fuck up, or actually don't so you spend more time in jail, but wow. So much fail.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

And they let him out on bail. Wtf isnt that at least a 72 hr psych hold?

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

Sweet. Someone kill Charlie Kirk again just to piss him off even more.

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 140 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I’m starting to think this Charlie Kirk guy kinda deserved what happened…

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 92 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Honestly, I question whether it is ever deserved. However, Charlie Kirk advocated for it, so I'm not exactly upset.

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

It's worth it to look in to the tolerance Paradoxon.

Basically, intolerance can not be tolerated.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Its the whole reason violence has become acceptable. Society's duty is to ostracize and make those who espouse hate and violence, feel unwelcome. Yet society rewards those people. When peaceful change becomes impossible. Violent change becomes inevitable.

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

I'm not sure who you're referencing now with the Paradoxon. But yeah, we (as in humans) tolerated too much hate and this is what we get.

And I was referring to whether it is ever deserved because regarding this, well, yes.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Just society and humans. We have failed basic due diligence to tolerance consistently and often.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 82 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Right, he may have not deserved it, but he actively campaigned on the idea that deaths like his were acceptable losses.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Exactly - he would have wanted it this way.

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

It's more he would be ok with it this way. I doubt he wanted to die. But he would have been entirely accepting of how he died.

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

I mean, sure, when he said that gun deaths were necessary, I'm sure in his swollen head he was imagining it would be brown people and children taking the bullets instead, but it's just plain nice that he got what he asked for.

My local gay bar posted on Facebook about a massive increase in harassment, as well as a physical assault on a patron.

Stochastic terrorism.

A trans woman was attacked in Washington last week. People on Facebook are mask off, saying it was deserved.

Is this going to explode into an orgy of violence and then finally die down? Will something bad enough happy than people will be shamed back into calling evil, evil?

There were two separate shootings at homeless camps last week. I barely saw coverage of it.

I feel so much pressure and fear that I can’t think. I don’t understand why people are filled with so much hate. It can’t feel good, can it?

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago (3 children)

We have our Pride in October because of the summer heat, the board of my organization isn't worried about booth setup or swag or elevator speeches. They primarily want a map showing every possible exit scenario depending on where a shooter might begin. We are going forward with the expectation that Prides will be more violent. And that breaks my heart.

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean the worst thing you can do is not do it, because that's what they want...

If you're in an area where open carry is allowed, it may be worth seeing if there is a JBGC nearby that might be open to helping provide security

These fucking slack jawed brainlets still haven't come to terms with the fact that Kirk's killer was one of their own.

It's not the point of the article, but this is absolutely not what a "martyr" is. I have the same reaction when ISIS members say they are becoming "martyrs" by suicide bombing groups of civilians. That's not what the word means, and you're just becoming a murderer.

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Guy looks like he has trouble spelling his own name OMFG

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

He can hide his own Easter eggs.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 66 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have you heard Alex Jones lately? Shouting ‘kill, kill, kill’ like a rabid baboon?

There will be more of this.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago (8 children)

WHAT THE FUCK!!! Why the fuck are we allowing that motherfucker to still have a platform? Doesn't he owe billion dollars to some families? Motherfucker needs to be drag off the air and beat to death.

Officers said that he also made transphobic comments, including “transgenderism should be eradicated from public society.”

Hey Charlie? Where have we heard that from ?

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bet this guys has so much gay porn on his laptop. They always do.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

either that or transporn.

Ya know, back in my Christian days I always thought it was pretty great that the bar for heaven was so low.... Now I crave the flame to avoid these fuckwits

He looks like the kind of asshole who yells at his children in public.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

[–] don@lemmy.ca 33 points 3 days ago

The right are stochastic terrorist murderers, and we are the infidels.
