I’ll await to hear about the suspect but it’s going to get pretty nasty.

BREAKING

There are reports that there has been a shooting at a Charlie Kirk/Turning Point USA event in Utah.

It appears that Kirk may have been shot in the neck.

Bye Charles.

To be clear: Violence is bad. Republicans and misgynist white nationalist Christians should stop fomenting it. Also, he was surrounded by ‘good’ white MEN with guns. Huh. How ‘bout that?

although he's going to have a long recovery ahead of him

Decerebrate is the one you don't want to see, although I've seen people who came in posturing recoverr from that, also.

It depends on how fast emergency care was given.

I never had much use for Kirk, he's like Jordan Peterson and a few others, all complaints and finger pointing, no solutions, no compassion. His following came from alienated people who hadn't learned to get off their diffs an do something about things they didn't like.

I take no pleasure in his FAFO about guns. If debate is going to be reduced to shooting an opponent, I"m glad I'm old and my time is limited.

I saw a second video much closer and it was clearly not survivable.

It looks like MAGA finally got its martyr.

Oh, and thought and prayers too, Mr. kirk. I hope your Prove Me Wrong tour gets better!


(yeah... sarcasm from top top bottom)

Also proves that a good guy with a gun can’t stop everyone.

We can't talk about the the fact that the right won't address the gun issue in the country, though even they can suffer because of it too?

Charlie Kirk spews lies like a swarm of flies. I do, however, hope he recovers without too much after damage. The world we live in , oh my.

Is that violence only begats violence.
Kirk has done his fair share of promoting hate and violence against others. I have zero doubt that his constant rhetoric against marginalized people is responsible for the deaths of innocent people. Therefore, I do not take any pleasure in this horrible incident, I am just not surprised by it.

That “God-given right” almost sent YOU to the undertaker. Still feel the same now?

think people quite understand just how far this is going to set us back.
The majority of people here are mocking a guy who was assassinated. The entire country can see this gruesome video and it is not going to end well for us, especially when the words written in places like this are read by outsiders. The look is disgusting, and that is a seriously sized understatement.

Nobody 'staged' a shot at trump, intending to miss so closely that it grazed him but killed someone behind him, just to make a publicity stunt.
Not credible.

Please leave the conspiracies to the Q nutters.

it's not all about you.

My thoughts are with everyone—Utah Valley University students/witnesses certainly included.

and I will not deviate even when the victim is despicable.

and said he was the only young politician that was really connecting with young people and then corrected herself that he wasn't a politician, but she is so tone deaf to my ears anyway. She comes across a gushing in the weirdest situations.

retaliation.

This will not end well for us.

We didn't do shit.

the very simple point I'm making, then I can't help you.

for this. We also don't know what the "motive" was here. Very easily could be warring factions of maga culminating in violence. There's a lot of conflict between them lately. All Dems will and should condemn the violence but it is in no way their fault.

The GOP is truly that fractured at the moment.

That's what I thought too, but I wasn't sure that was his position since I don't follow these RW "influencers" closely.

First he was all in in changing the subject and moving on. Then he got a lot of backlash from his MAGA supporters, especially the youth, and flipped back to released the files.

So, I definitely seems it could be an angry follower.

Or Gays, or DEI.

So. I suppose they could be any, all, some or none of those groups.

hero. The cult will love him even more, like when trump was the victim. This doesn’t help our side. Damn.

And no fucking way is this good. What a fucking shit show this country has become.

Coming on the heels of news of the NC knife attack … it’s all deeply disturbing. Take care of each other, friends.

Not just because it will likely play up a sense of victimhood among conservatives, but this sort of violence itself is bad. Kirk is allowed to say whatever hurtful stupid things he wants without someone trying to kill him.

I think Tim Walz should come out and say he and MN know exactly how this feels and the political rhetoric from the Pres and Republicans needs to be toned down. Declaring war on Chicago and the rest of the Democratic cities They brought this violence on, I'm not surprised they are reaping what they sow.

worth it to have/keep the 2nd Am.

They HAD ALL the guns, AND the 2nd amendment, and didn't do shit with EITHER when the dictator ended up being one of them.

Gun control via legislation is not tyranny it's the democratic process WORKING, and yes that means someone's gonna get out voted.

If the death of ONE of their own is what FINALLY gets this done, then so be it.

Also, there WILL be blowback. If the shooter was one ioata to the left of Hitler, trumps gonna use this to further putting armed troops in our cities cause librul crimz.

ALSO Also, dems UNIVERSAL RESPONSE to this needs to be 'well guys, do you want thoughts and prayers or do you want to fix the problem...which would you prefer, go ahead YOU TELL US.'

It’s what he wanted.

nt

Political violence is wrong though and it's what Trump wants, if this was that.

or elected Dems.
Meh!

The only one I have sympathy for is his daughter, who was apparently at the event. No child should have to see that, no matter how awful the parent.

That said - live by the sword, die by the sword. Charlie is on record as saying a few gun deaths are worth it to preserve the "freedom" of the Second Amendment. Ya think your own ass is worth it, Charlie?

And attaching yourself to one of the absolute worst human beings alive (Donald Trump), you can definitely expect to attract some of the worst people alive to your cause.

Anyway, homemade Margherita pizza tonight. Yummy. 😋

My wife makes the dough, I make the sauce. I am using store bought mozzarella though. Didn’t have time to make that. The basil is grown in my backyard.

So good.

I have a Weber that’s out of commission. Need to get it fixed.

Karma.

Remember, before you feel bad about someone shooting Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk wouldn’t care if it was you. If you were the one trump shot on Fifth Avenue, Charlie Kirk would defend trump.

to see how the coverage of this compares to the assassination of the Minnesota Democrats that was out of the news cycle just a few days after it happened.

Nobody deserves to die for advocating their position, whether we agree or not. This will only ad fuel to the fire and ultimately strengthen Kirk’s message and force it to be heard by more.

With such a huge crowd, I'm surprised they caught the guy.

He is being handcuffed on the ground. Old white male with glasses and balding. Doesn’t fit their usual narrative but I’ll be curious to hear more.

Not at all what I expected.

To a family member of the shooter because of Kirk’s words. Never know what motivates someone to go and take revenge.

You guess people gotta die. So be it!!

holy crap

It's the guns. It's the guns. It's the guns.

blood was gushing from the left side of his neck, it almost looked fake, no one deserves this

I fucking hate this.

He could still survive if someone with a towel was there a few seconds after this. But it's going to be a huge loss of blood unless he got medical attention almost immediately.

Clint Malarchuk who caught an errant skate to the jugular. Blood sprayed out onto the ice 10 feet as he collapsed, but a trainer was there with a towel immediately and he recovered.

It was Pizzutelli reaching into the wound and pinching the artery while kneeing on Malarchuk's shoulder blade to slow his heart and induce semi-consciousness.

Yeah. NO WAY to survive that.

I don’t pray, but I hope he survives. And if he dies, I just know every MAGA nut job is going to declare open season on people they don’t like.

Open season works both ways.

THAT's a whole lot of blood. I don't see how anyone could survive that.

Political violence in this country has got to stop.

In 5.. 4... 3... 2... 1....

He’s calling Democrats the “party of murder”.

Who eliminated USAID.

“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. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

I guess it came back to bite him in the neck.

That's called karma.

I am neither rejoicing nor pointing fingers. It is merely an observation.

But frankly, in this time and place, it is to be expected. As are many more. We're living in a behavioral sink, with an extra large helping of guns thrown in for good measure.

nt.

Eom

The corporation that I was working for very briefly tried to use surgical glue as an alternative to staples/sutures for carotid endarterectomies. It lead to really horrifying scenes when the glue failed.

Edit: The only way that I would like Charlie Kirk less is if he was a martyr.

The whole state is unsafe.

Gun violence does not solve shit no matter who is pulling the trigger. This is not acceptable and should not be how political discourse is handled. It appears sadly, that Kirk did not have much concern for the lives of children lost from guns though. I do not wish this upon anyone but it was his belief that gun deaths are unfortunately necessary in the preservation of our God Given Rights. Irony is dead.

tRump announced his death on unTruth Social

Very sad.

and suspect not in custody. I expect this to dominate the news.

LOL

This thread was too long to read. My brain won't handle it. I won't even see this post and any replies, so don't feel bad. I'm just being a shit asking like this, because I hate MAGA.

Very close to Trump and he had a lot of influence with his podcasts and his organization Turning Point USA.

He peddled plenty of racism, homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, anti semitism, etc

I have a feeling the media will sanitize much of what he said, while they fawn over him. Not thrilled about what happened, but I’m not shedding any tears here. I’m worried where we’re going as a country. This makes it that much worse.
