    Please note that NSFW/NSFL videos must be labeled as such or they will be deleted

    Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.

    Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.

        For anyone who is curious but might not want to watch the video, here’s a description I found that a friend of mine who watched it says is accurate:

        Description

        he got shot in the neck by a high powered rifle and instantly litres of blood spewed out as he slumped over. He likely won’t survive.

        This is just my perspective, and I never wish harm or suffering on another living being, but if what/who you are and advocate for causes these things and you’re too stupid or bribed to see it and continue being you… Then, for the greater good, good riddance

          what/who you are and advocate for causes these things

          “If someone tries to assassinate you, it’s because you deserve it”, in other words.

          Seems like a pretty dangerous stance to take.

            We hanged people at Nuremberg for doing exactly what Kirk made his whole career doing. That’s the context that every discussion of Kirk’s death should begin with.

    Calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi while celebrating his death. The irony. This whole thread should be locked.
