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

Someone said “he died as he lived: talkin’ out the side of his neck.”
Perfection.
He had a lot to say.
He had a lot of nothing to say, we'll miss him.
The Republicans are only going to talk about violence against them. They have a victim mentality and Charlie boy is now a martyr.
He is now their Horst Wessel.
No louder is that other conservative talking head
Hang on, are you accusing the FBI of killing Charlie Kirk, too?
Not really. His death put a cap on his ability to say new things or respond to current happenings and cultural events. He was neither timeless nor profound and 5 years from now this is the only thing most people will remember vs him yapping in their feeds about current events this diminished him.
His voice couldn't become louder than it already was. A mouth that big can't get any bigger.
Also, he's dead.
Kirk promoted gun violence to justify the 2nd amendment. It would be poetic justice if the killer was someone whose loved one died from gun violence and chose to give him a taste of his own opinion.
Trump ordered flags to half staff. For a fucking shitposter. 2 congresspeople in MN get gunned down and nothing.
Not gushing anymore https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c206zm81z4gt?post=asset%3A7e2f698a-fcc0-41b0-84ac-b7e01c1d6d56#post
It was while he was being asked about gun violence that he was shot, the student says.
Unbelievable.
Specifically, he was in the middle of spinning a question about mass shootings into a dog whistle about "gang violence".
mass shootings committed by trans people, specifically
The order of events as I've been seeing online:
Videos circulating on social media showed an attender at the student event on Wednesday asking Charlie Kirk: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”
In response, Kirk said: “Too many,” as the crowd clapped.
In a follow-up question, the attender asked: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
Kirk replied: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
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.
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.
I think it was the asker who also said "great." sarcastically when gang violence was mentioned (just before the shot), adding to the timing.
Some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to hhh-uh-kkuggg...
You'd need a case of dynamite and some matches to cut through that irony.
Those chicks seemed like smug ass Karen’s. It’s scary how well composed and dedicated to the narrative they were after witnessing someone they liked being shot but then again they were fans. Nazis
Sorry, we couldn’t find that page

I have to say the shooter made sure his kill didn't suffer for long; i think a hunter would have been proud and it looks like it was over instantly.
I saw the picture of the just before part, not sure I want to watch the actual thing. However I know he (gleefully) damaged many, many lives and I know that some of them will be happy to watch this.
People are very focused on the blood gushing part. And I get that. But I can't say I haven't had that normalized by movies. It's not that different.
The shocking thing about it to me is not the blood but his reaction. Movies do not capture the subtlety of watching the life leave from someone's body so quickly. I think that's what makes the blood so much more shocking.
I don't watch this kind of stuff ever. I saw it on twitter by mistake. It was hard not to.
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.
Sauce? I need to watch this plsss
I need this but longer
Resident Evil 4 Original, just intentionally lose to the Chainsaw dude. That shit actualy scared me as a kid, this is nothing.
I think they censored the decapitation in the remake (but they still kept in the decapitation for non-chainsaw deaths, so idk what's the point)
Not as bad a way to go as people described to me. He loses consciousness immediately from blood loss, I bet he didn't even have time to feel anything, pain or fear wise.
Yeah... All the people asking if he managed to survive either didn't see the vid, or don't understand bodies, cause he was unconscious within a second and dead seconds later.
The bullet ripped open some juicy neck tunnels and based on his contortion probably fucked with his spine too.
Most people have no idea how destructive bullets actually are to bodies, or how much you bleed. Most people have never seen, or have never seen many, actual shootings, and think that it is something in the neighborhood of an action movie on the bloodier side of things.
Yeah they're saying it was a high powered, bolt action rifle not just ya normal 5.56 AR. The crack of the shot was very distinctive, most likely something like .308 which will fuck up unarmored personnel.
The only movie I have seen that had realistic war or otherwise gun action was Saving Private Ryan.
Interestingly his head seemed to rock in the same direction that the bullet hit, you would think it would be away.
I think the bullet tore up much of the supporting structure on that side, that's why he slumped that way.
Fuck this vid is bad.
The onion had a good headline, 'Charlie Kirk loses gun control debate by a longshot'
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!
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.
And your average kid in elementary school. Our society has successfully normalized violence literally against children. I feel like we're not far away from "pedophiles really aren't that bad actually" being said by our politicians.
And they want me to care about a fucking piece of shit like Charlie Kirk turning into a fountain of blood while no one else was hurt? Literally top 10 clean kills in history.
The only sympathy I feel is for people that had to feel the trauma of that event. No one there knew they were not also targets. The panic and fear they must have felt in that moment. That is my only sympathy for this situation.
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.
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.
People with influence or status need to de-escalate with their words and actions, not by choice.
dude had a big face or small face depending on how you define face, i see why the shooter didn't want to overcomplicate and went for the neck
If they were shooting at the face, they would have misjudged the distance.
He was likely aiming for the face and didn't calculate for the bullet drop. Good. Enough.
Bro, somebody who did a shot this good has to be experienced with weapons. They fucking took into account bullet drop. Maybe they didn't take enough into account, but they had to have taken into account
Honestly, super curious about who the person is if they ever do end up catching a real suspect.
