All these people celebrating Charlie Kirk . Why ? It changes nothing if the shooter wanted to make some political statement take a flight to Russia and pay Vladimir Putin a visit
What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

They should know that Time pushes back though.....
After speaking with my friend who is a trained sniper, he also confirmed that with the right equipment, this isn't a particularly difficult shot to a trained party.
With that said, I still wouldn't put it past Trump, but this is something that doesn't require military training. My own crappy shooting ability did bias me towards the difficulty of this shot.
Saw this posted on FB. Maybe if folks see it, they will start to form some of that new emotion, Empathy.
High-powered rifle recovered from Utah campus where Kirk's killer was able to blend in
Investigators obtained clues including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing.

Dude left his rifle behind and it's now been found. That's...interesting.
Ironbite-wonder if he also grabbed some Italian pastries.
They’re pushing exactly the same narrative in our media. Even though gun ownership isn’t a thing here, and the last victim of political violence in Britain wasn’t a right-winger.
Yeah. I'm not at all interested in the tears and cries to 'tone down' the rhetoric after years of hearing it from their side. One person, one ******* person that they agree with hits the 'find out' stage and now it's a problem. hug off with that. Where's the outrage, where's the condemnation, where is anything other than smirks and bullshit when the democratic senator and her family were assassinated in their homes?
An emotion that Charlie Kirk said he hated, which means he shouldn't get any.
"Political violence is never acceptable" is not a principle I disagree with, but if "some gun deaths are just the price to pay for letting weapons be easy to get" counts as political speedh, then those gun deaths were political violence.
So I reject any notion that Charlie Kirk did not perpetrate more political violence than what happened to him.
Also I cannot think of any "religious" view which would be easier to justify than calling this karma.
I'd like to remind the world that Kirk was in the middle of giving a smarmy, smart assed answer to questions about gun violence. He died with a smirk on his lips, thinking he was 'owning the libs' by dismissing their concerns about shootings when he got his.
The manner of his death is such an amazing moment of karmic comeuppance that if this was a fictional book the author would be told to write something more realistic because this is beyond the pale.

So, here's a list of things Charlie Kirk said, on public record.
I don't condone assassination. But I will not mourn the death of this hate-mongering waste of flesh.

Speaking as someone who literally did a comic in the school paper along those lines, you'll have to explain to me how it was anywhere close to this. Most of us were fresh out of high school and had never witnessed widespread backlash against a President's actions before, and were now living in liberal echo chambers that made Bush seem a lot more widely and deeply despised than he actually was. Trump was at least as widely and deeply despised as that before he even won the 2016 election, and has done nothing to improve that public image since. And meanwhile, he and his fellow Republicans have been mask-off for just as long about wanting their opposition wiped off the map.
Yeah, I'm struggling to understand how 2004 is even in the conversation. Did I slide into another reality in which something significant by today's standards actually happened back then?
