Be an adult about it or report him if it’s such a shame. It’s not like you complain when you’re breaking the same three while you follow Fuzz around.

  • Ban sale of automatic weapons
  • No personal sales (you must be able to prove the gun was purchased at a registered dealer)

I think these simple common sense measures would have saved Kirks life. Republicans need to start protecting their own.

Well said by Seth. He’s right that it can’t continue on like this. Continually dividing populations will never end well. Along with the new assassination trend.

Or, you know, declare war on those practising their own free speech, but that's not what Charlie would have wanted, and not what he died for. "We need to have a good spirit about being made fun of," he felt(in response to being lampooned on South Park). Your empathy for him and his family disgusts him. Show a little respect. Be better.
I don't give a #### about Charlie Kirks memory. The guy was kind of an a hole.

I also don't really revel in dancing on his grave. I kind of pity the people who loved him. I think they deserve pity for living they type of life that leads them to identify with the crap Kirk spewed. Something did not go well for them.

I pity the person who felt the only voice they had was violence. I don't know the situation, maybe they were right and this was the only chance they had to express the message they wanted to deliver in an effective way. But I really pity that we live in a world where many people are being pushed down and marginalized to the point where they don't have a voice.

I pity Kirk for being such an awful person that many choose to reciprocate his lack of empathy.

I pity the people who will suffer the consequences of this event, and worry they might reach all the way up to me a middle aged white man in Canada.

I pity the people who are dancing on his grave, becoming that which they claim to hate.

This is such a pitiable situation, the best we can hope for is to ask those who are truly sad about this to help us stop it from happening again.

Spoiler!

Crack FBI on the case! Except… they’ve been deeply diminished by Trumpistan.

Quote:
Mr. Patel’s critics have also expressed concern that a wave of firings and forced retirements, which started before Mr. Patel was confirmed in February and continued after he took over, could hamper the bureau’s ability to manage complex investigations like the Kirk case.

The departure of Mr. Driscoll, who served as interim director until Mr. Patel was confirmed, has been a particularly significant blow. Mr. Driscoll was not only one of the F.B.I.’s most experienced career agents, he has been a morale booster and source of organizational stability, often defending rank-and-file agents targeted for firings or demotions by Trump appointees.

Another departure had an even more direct bearing on the Kirk investigation. Over the summer, Mr. Patel’s team forced the retirement of Mehtab Syed, a highly regarded former counterterrorism agent appointed in February to run the Salt Lake City field office, for reasons that remain unclear, according to former officials. (The move was earlier reported by MSNBC.)

One dictator brought to justice . . .

Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Plotting Coup in Brazil

Brazil’s Supreme Court convicted the former president of trying to cling to power after losing the 2022 election, including a plan to assassinate his opponent.

That’s Trump’s good buddy right there. At least Brazil’s system works, unlike broken America.

Are they still permitted to work in government if they are confirmed non-binary, as per executive order # 500023?

Quote it and post it over there and we’ll decide.

Without editing it until it means what you want it to mean, if possible this time.

The Onion Headlines subreddit has been absolutely killing it the last 24 hours.

It’s a subreddit where people try and write their own clever Onion headlines.

Snowflake warning.

NSFW!

I was unaware calling people out on faux outrage was breaking the rules. My bad.

Just kidding. And much like their fake outrage about Kirk, your manufactured pearl clutching about how I am choosing to call it out is wholly transparent to everyone, including the mods. You're a hypocrite and a fascist-adjacent online windbag
