Funny how no flags are ever lowered at half-staff for any school shootings.

Cuz you know, children aren’t nearly as important as one MAGA pundit…

    Like the new “metals of honor”, lowering the flag is now meaningless. Remember the orange rapist/felon ordered the flags at full mast after President Carter’s death for his inauguration.

      Carter is 100x the President that Taco is. I sure hope that when Taco kicks the bucket, lots of people refuse to lower their flags…he is a total dirtbag and petty AF.

    Minnesota democrats murdered in their homes: nothing done or said. POS grifter shot while talking about violence: lower the flags, President gives a speech and tweet. America 2025 🫡

      There were like 80 school shootings in the states last year. The thing should be at half mast until that problem is solved by this logic.

        it should be upside down as a symbol of distress until the ‘regime’ changes.

          The meaningless do nothing shit seems to affect a lot more people than it should. Hopefully that’s just bots on the internet making it seem that way.

          Oh yeah, they’ll lower the flags for literally any reason, because the flag has been meaningless for some time.

          See also: military cemeteries, and by extension, the military.

          Did you know anyone who was honorably discharged can be buried in a military cemetery? Doesn’t matter who. Whether you were a “war hero” (like my grandfathers), you died in war, or if you just partied and fixed trucks in Germany in the sixties (like my stepdad), you can be buried there.

          Keep that in mind when someone tries to make them into sacred places. They’re just graveyards, they have no further meaning just because the stones are all the same.

          The entire military’s been a scam since the same time period. It’s nice that more people are figuring it out.

    Once children leave the womb, they are target practice and slave laborers. Republicans have never valued life. They are part of a violent hateful cult which is based in a naive & non-scientific culture that is 2000 years old.

    Honestly, I’m glad this happened. Of course I can’t be sure if it’s a good thing - for all we know it could speed up the birth of a tyranny, or WW3 - but something beyond waiting for the next election needs to happen. Kinda typical USA that that something involves guns though.

    At some point the constant abuse needs to be met with - well, something.

      Perfect timing if your aim is to get America to talk about guns and distract from the Republicans voting against the release of the Epstein files. So weird how the Donvict was the first to report on the new martyr’s death.

      Yeah, I just saw a headline from The Economist that made me want to gag: “Charlie Kirk challenged liberals until the day he was murdered”

      I mean, what kind of bullshit hagiography is that announcing? I started to read it, and it gets even worse right from the very jump.

      Charlie Kirk was an awful douchebag and these paeans being said/written about him already are nauseating and he only just was killed. I suspect it’s only going to get worse.

    I don’t understand how Kirk qualifies for this? He was just a modern version of Rush Limbaugh, going even edgier and on other platforms than radio…oh, right, Limbaugh got the fucking Presidential Medal of Freedom, so of course we should lower flags for a fucking Reich wing trolling edgelord.

    Air Force 2 went and picked up his body. They already had a response ready immediately after his death. A long range sniper shot with no one found immediately. At this point it is looking like this was an assassination by the current administration.

    It’s just rhetoric and grandstanding designed to feed his army of anal leeches that mindlessly feed on his bloated science-defying animated carcass.
