Holy shit, we don't know what happened yet. We know nothing about the shooter. But this is absolute madness.

Yes, I've said some shit about Charlie Kirk and my feelings about him and his wretched organization are well known. But this is neither the time nor the place to make such wild accusations without knowing the facts first. Browsing my social media feed the last hour, you can see the worst in humanity has been brought out.
