The Charlie Kirk Thread

[Rock]

Yikes.

The below video is zoomed in so it is not very graphic but warning that it shows Kirk recoiling from being hit and then zooms out to show panic.

 

[HeelInTheOzarks]

He was also shot.

Pic at right does not look good.

 

[Milk and Cookies]

Damn video games

 

[Carolina Fever]

Shot in the neck.

 

[altmin]

open and concealed firearms without a permit in Utah with no purchase time limits and no registration needed.

I can only assume Utah State University should install better doors in this outside venue, besides that I can't think what else can be done.

Maybe Utah State should arm their public speakers?

he was there with his young daughter apparently though, which I will not mock. My heart genuinely goes out to her.

 

[nrsair]

Holy shit. I try not to watch stuff like that generally but it happened before I closed the video on another site. I don’t see how he survives.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Have they caught a suspect?

Have they caught a suspect?

Supposedly.

 

[Carolina Fever]

Listening to the police scanner and they just said something about sending out a photo of the possible suspect, so doesn't sound like they have one in custody.

Charlie Kirk has very little of my respect, but I do not wish this on him. I hope that the shooter is caught as soon as possible, and faces serious consequences. All murder is wrong, but political assassination is right up there with hate crimes for me as the worst of the worst.

Have they caught a suspect?

MSNBC is reporting one is in custody.

 

[duluoz]

Which one is this guy again? What are his controversies? The trad wife guy?

 

[HeelYeah2012]

Holy shit. Absolutely disgusting.

Charlie Kirk is a grade-A tool who profits off of dividing Americans and making them hate each other but this is not the path forward to anything good, IMO. Shooting someone is never the answer, even to offensive speech. Hope he's OK.

So pretty much like all of MAGA and the majority of Pubs.

 

[Carolina Fever]

Sounds like the police are still looking for a suspect based on what I just heard on the scanner feed.

 

[Carolina Fever]

But mass shootings are okay for those same enemies. They will scream and cry about a far right person getting shot but don't do anything about kids getting shot in schools.
