Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.
Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.
“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights” - Charlie Kirk, 2023
Play Nazi games, win Nazi prizes.
Finally a good guy with a gun
I get the attempt at dark humor but honestly, damn, for me, that’s a no.
I just have to ask, is it because another human being was shot or were you one of the people celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden?

I’ve now heard these things in reference to Americans from non-americans:
- Why aren’t you doing something about the rising fascist republicans?
And now:
- Americans are fucked up for doing something against a prominent fascist government supporter
I’m not sure which you want anymore.
“are you not entertained?!?”
There’s more than one person outside of America.
I’m 90% sure I’ve seen the commenter in question make point 1.
Right, and it being too violent to some and not violent enough to others is evidence that, in this regard, it is on neither extreme.
I have mercy for those that aren’t actively trying to harm and take advantage of those worse off than themselves.
The fascist and their enablers can eat a bullet so we can have a better tomorrow.

I’m not trying to impress you. Relax.
This is just my perspective, and I never wish harm or suffering on another living being, but if what/who you are and advocate for causes these things and you’re too stupid or bribed to see it and continue being you… Then, for the greater good, good riddance
what/who you are and advocate for causes these things
“If someone tries to assassinate you, it’s because you deserve it”, in other words.
Seems like a pretty dangerous stance to take.
We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk made his whole career doing. That’s the context that every discussion of Kirk’s death should begin with.
I don’t know. This is only going to cause MAGA to ramp up their fascism, and give them a better excuse to enact further violence on us, the citizens.

They didn’t need this. They were going to do it regardless. They might use this as an excuse, sure, but it wont’ be the reason.
Fascist do not “need” a reason to remove rights from people.
The ramp up was always going to happen anyway. Everyone knows that appeasement doesn’t work on Nazis.
I can even see an argument in which he was killed by his own as a sacrificial lamb as there is no bottom in the depths of their depravity.
They need exactly zero excuse other than brown people existing to ramp up their fascism and enact violence on Americans.
Don’t get me wrong, he got what he advocated for, I’m certainly not crying or really feeling anything about his death but huh, I guess dude FAFO’ed. I just don’t find the “good guy with a gun” comment appropriate here that’s all even if a small sliver of me goes “yeah, kinda, yeah” because more than likely that guy is very much not a good guy, probably very mentally ill.
Just my thoughts.
I haven’t read about, and am not interested in the shooter.
My opinion is only that the world is better off without Charlie Kirk, nothing else at this point.
I completely understand, and I actually wish that I could share your perspective. Unfortunately for my “empathy for all” perspective, I couldn’t help but smile when I read that he got shot. Because my mind directly went to the “oh, this is gonna alleviate so much suffering” POV

My reaction:
“Wait, who got shot? Really? Wow. So, what’s for dinner?”
From the bits I saw of the alleged shooter getting arrested, to me it looks like the guy was planning on getting caught. Balding old white men who can shoot like that don’t strike me as the type who run away.
EDIT: Waiting for confirmation on whether the actual suspect is caught or not.
Last I saw the shooter is still free, the person originally arrested is not involved and has been released.
Hmm. I guess we’ll wait and see.
per AP:
Person taken into custody after Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah is not believed to be shooting suspect, AP source says

A statement released by the university said a “single shot was fired on campus toward a visiting speaker. Police are investigating now, suspect in custody.” A university spokeswoman later told the New York Times that police had determined the person detained earlier was not the shooter, and that no suspect was currently in custody.
Looks like the guy initially arrested turned out to not be involved (maybe just another guy with a high powered rifle? Don’t know, must make things hard in the US). Or have they since arrested someone else?
Probably one of those “open carry” dipshits, hanging around to show off his gun, and when someone gets shot, he’s the first guy they focus on, giving the real shooter a head start on his escape. Nice job being a witless accomplice.
I’m adding FAFOed to my lexicon
Any politician that completely supports Trump is fair game at this point. Things will not return to normal by talking. If you dont wanna live in a dictatorship wake the fuck up. If you live in the US (i luckily dont) then learn how to use a gun, because its gonna get much much worse than the way it is right now.
Yes, as long as people are willing to resort to murder in support of their ideology.
Humor?

It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas. Just glad this happened in Utah and not Illinois or California. Blue states will likely bear the brunt of the repercussions if there are any.

Just for the chance that this snowballs and we get more good guys with guns making moves like this, I’m buying a bag of popcorn kernels and cheap “champagne” (because I can’t afford anything else).
So you people are saying it was OK to kill this guy but Luigi killing that CEO or whatever he was, was OK. Something is wrong here and it’s kind of scary.
The GOP is going to rule from so far away now. They already were doing fewer and fewer town halls. Now that they think they’ll be in the crosshair, we may never see them in person again.
Advocated for guns on campus and 2A and died for his cause, so props for that.
So what you doing this weekend?
University officials said the shot appeared to come from a nearby campus building roughly 200 yards (180 m) from the event area; local media identified the location as the Losee Center rooftop.
Helluva shot then
Anyone have a video link that isnt on mastodon? Those don’t work
act stupid win stupid prizes, right?
