I may have not agreed with some of his beliefs, but he didn't need to die. Fuck anyone celebrating his death.
I feel bad for his friends and loved ones.
I pay my respects.

No offense intended, but it's odd to me that we feel the need to mention whether we agreed with someone's beliefs or not in scenarios like this. It should go without saying that as a society, we don't ever think it's acceptable when assassins murder people in public when they have a different position on things than us. It reminds me of when when people promote prison rape as some tool of justice to those deserving enough. It still involves a rapist, just like assassinations involve murderers. I know you weren't justifying and your post was respectful. It's just a general comment, nothing personal.

Anyway, this is horrific. America is not in a great place. I'm wondering whether it's a troon or an accelerationist group or both. The journalist scum who constantly demonize white consversative Christians should be happy.

The video is really hard to watch, I don't think I'd be able to sleep properly if I was in the crowd. Awful.

 

[SuperShibuyaFighter]

who let that pajeet be in charge of the fbi

Orange Man himself

 

[los pepes]

I’d be really surprised if he wasn’t caught. Colleges are camera central. They definitely have a solid head start though

The counter to that is that if the FBI were hot on his trail Kash would not have announced the arrest of the wrong man. Clearly their cameras etc didn't lead them right back to the killer or even his abandoned house/car or they would not have spent all afternoon thinking some other guy was the guy, and at the very least would have released a bolo for the real suspect if he was on run with them in close pursuit.

He may have seemed suspicious for some reason that, in hindsight, would seem wholly innocuous. The fact that he was detained would be enough in itself to convince onlookers that he was the shooter, which would be sufficient to explain the mob yelling at him.


A child-killing manlet?

If it escalates this all to the point the left can be purged from western civilization then yes.

 

[The Saltening]

The video is really hard to watch, I don't think I'd be able to sleep properly if I was in the crowd. Awful.

i still havent watched it. i cant believe its real

 

[Tepoztecatl]

The shooter is not the demented boomer, not Zachary Qurashi, so who is it then?

 

[Cool Dog Returns]

Ment that in reference to left omitting all the reasons why he have gotten killed, the faggot was supporting armed communists that were committing rapes on civilians yet leftists will act as if he got overthrown for no reason and that people loved him.

Ok my bad

youd think theyd realize that doesnt work when the right went from having to hide their opinions to controlling a major social media platform. i think the only other group this tactic is less effective with are islamists.

I didnt say they were being smart.....

 

[linchan]

I think the upcoming cope is that this is a conspiracy to bury the Epstein letter.

It never ceases to amaze me that libshits cant understand the simple concept of deterrence. Even if the government out guns it's populace they still think twice before trying to go tyrannical mask off if their populace is armed. 2nd amendment is your enshrined right to protect yourself and your property from anyone, including the government from taking it.

I don't like Kirk, but whoever reads his context here as celebrating the sacrifice of innocents for the sake of a constitutional right is a disingenuous retard nigger faggot.

Jesus fucking christ can we go for a few days without another HAPPENING

I see all these shitposters chiming in with the article about how he said that gun violence a necessary consequence for the sake of gun control, as if it's some kind of gotcha.

These people don't seem to realize that one's opinion on something doesn't instantly change just because that thing happens to them. Quite the contrary, I think it's a bit of a self-report, because if you think someone (IE you) should change your opinion on something only because it's now inconvenient for you, that's just a sign that you have no integrity.

It's entirely possible that, had he survived, he would maintain his perspective. I don't understand how these people consider this to be some kind of rhetorical victory or hypocrisy.

Those types of retards are willfully misrepresenting the idea. It's not that shootings, killings or violence are a good thing, it's that they are a sign that we are still free, to actually own guns.. mistakes, accidents and dark shit included. Not an excuse to restrict and oppress!

And yeah, the idea that he was some kind of weak willed sheep (prog, lefist, democrat) who would instantly abandon his beliefs, principles and our rights is... ghoulish

If ever America needed a ‘he will not divide us’ thing, it’s now (‘he’ being whichever boogeyman you choose). Unfortunately, way too many people are gleefully rushing to extremes and using ‘well, the other side are full of HATE!!!1!’ as an excuse.

Powerlevel, but I spent half my life studying this shit happening in Europe last century. Seeing it replaying in the US is frightening.

No-one should face violence for their political beliefs, come on man. You don’t go around shooting or physically attacking people. I especially don’t have patience for the types who claim someone’s words or beliefs are ‘actual violence’ or even ‘genocide’, especially when they see fit to use that as an excuse for violence. Just fucking stop it.

The whole thing is horrifying. Political violence is a disaster.

His only sin was debating college kids and making shitty youtube ads. That's it.

you forgot about his most important sin. a sin so egregious that it’s built into every opinion a liberal has

he was a conservative white man

 

[KingLiberty76]

Thinking about it the footage of Zarutska's murder and Charlie Kirk being murdered a couple days later makes me feel like we just entered a point of no-return.

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Ironically, many prominent leftist SJW influencers actually hold Neo Nazi-adjacent views.

In Nazi Germany, there was a phenomena of communists who became nazis, and were nick-named "beefstake nazis." It is a more common than you think. Stalin famously funded West Germany's successor to the Nazi party because he found communists there to be ineffective. At one point, the Soviets were even spreading around the Protocols of Elders of Zion as propaganda.

Maybe it's a bit homosexual to say, but if you have loved ones near you, please remind them that you love them. Tomorrow is never promised.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

It should go without saying that as a society, we don't ever think it's acceptable when assassins murder people in public when they have a different position on things than us

Well, that depends on their position e.g. anyone whose position is that it's Good to have sex with children deserves be smoked in public.

 

[Soapmore]

That's kinda underselling him. Kirk was by far the most influential spreader of right wing ideology in the country for the last decade.

And now they made him a martyr.
