(12,078 posts)The right wing just never thinks someone might accept their call to terrorize and aim it at them. They think they can control and direct where the violence erupts. They certainly never think it will erupt all over them.

(68,067 posts)They would learn that many of Hitler's early supporters were assassinated or jailed by him. Or they could read about what Stalin did to so many of his close allies - even erased them from photos after they were executed.
Hell, read about Queen Elizabeth I and so many of her friends and lovers, look how they ended up.

(1,185 posts)What was Kirk's position on the Epstein files? Was he calling for them to be made public? If so, Trump should be a suspect.

(16,337 posts)But if you did see it, you'd be asking how anyone could possibly survive. He was shot in the neck and blood was pouring out. His body stiffened up immediately as he fell of the chair in a motion that was not intentional. (other commenters suggest that means it also hit his spine)
popsdenver
(488 posts)if the Media shows a lot of video of him getting shot, and immediately afterwards to solicit sympathy, then we should ask the Parents of Uvalde? for permission to show the crime scene photos of their children.........especially the children shot who couldn't be identified any other way, except using their DNA.........
Yet another example for the Republican Creeps to FAFO.........and just like the two who went after Trump, this shooter was probably also a Republican?????????

(30,657 posts)of blood loss was pretty obviously NOT survivable. Im not sure he could have been saved if he was prepped and then shot directly on an OR table in a level 1 trauma center.
Though I haven't seen any reports as to his condition. I wonder if this will change his stand on 2nd Amendment rights. I doubt it, but it is possible.

(4,946 posts)There is no way he can survive that shot. It was very well placed. I give him 30 seconds survival max.

(41,465 posts)However, based on posts upthread, it sounds like it's dubious that he will survive.

James48
(4,946 posts)I give him :05 seconds to MAYBE :30 seconds before he bled out. It was a massive hit in an artery, blood sprayed, and he also moved as if his spine was severed in the process. It was clearly not a survivable wound.

You know the rest.
I hate to be so callous, but these people are part of the reason our school children are being slaughtered. Im having trouble mustering up sympathy.
That said, I do feel for his wife and children.

(11,046 posts)NOT A FUCKING WORD. It'll be 'oh, this is about librul crimz in big siteez, so we better let the tyrant use the federal military to occupy our own cities.'
THAT ACTION IS WHAT THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT WAS WRITTEN FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE, (by the ORIGINAL MAGAs, mind you---the ones in the anti-reconstructionist South)
THAT is a problem that may require a 2nd amendment solution, NOT 'Charlie Kirk got shot by probably one of our own lunatics, so NOW we need more than Thoughts and Prayers, yeah too bad about those 2 decades of dead gradeschoolers.'
Dems, DO NOT let them off the hook with this. Yes, it's politics, and yes, it's dirty and ruthless.
So bone up and get your fucking hands dirty on this one. When asked how you feel about this, go ahead and smash that LIKE button that says SECOND AMENDMENT.
LIKE THEYVE BEEN DOING SINCE COLUMBINE.

(8,429 posts)healthy public discussion, courtesy, and very much so violence.
I/we do not condone this lowering of expectations nor the violence. But for sure there are people and political entities that are due some blame. I am reminded of the republican Georgia election official who warned against this kind of diminishment. Back in 2020.
In a prescient and heartfelt warning against GOP silence re violence and rhetoric, his summary was that '...All of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this.' There are very clearly people and organizations that deserve an outsized share of the blame for their rhetoric and their silence. I will also place blame on MSM outlets which do not remind us of these differences and of the many warnings such as the one below.

When you generate hatred, but especially for profit. It will find you.
