After you said kids should be forced to watch public executions live and on tv and then you are publicly executed in front of your kids live on tv.

People need to stop celebrating the shooter! I'm absolutely disgusted and ashamed by their actions. Charlie Kirk was doing nothing but sitting there giving a speech. This was in the middle of the day, there were clear sky's and the sun was shining directly on Charlie, as if he was chosen to deliver an important message. Than the shooter shot at him. I'll say it as it is, nothing was between Charlie and the shooter that warranted this.

So how could the shooter miss the shot at Charlie Kirk's large ass head and hit him in neck instead! Embarrassing, do better on the next fascist.

I dunno, seemed pretty grim and gory to me? Head explosion wouldn't make much of a difference outside of memeworthyness. Fountain of blood was fully acceptable. Sniped an artery.

Imagine if it was a few inches to the left instead.

Oh, we don't need to

Not gonna lie, you had us in the first half.

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously though, nice shot.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

Goddammit you got me. I was mad at you for two sentences ... then laughed. Noice.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

One could also complain about the fascists "level". The shooter could have gone for a higher ranking fascist to gain more points/credibility.

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Indeed, it's a target rich environment. They just need to get out more enjoy the nice weather.

In cannot be disputed that he did indeed get proven wrong.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

But I am not concerned about him being shot, I don't care.

Last tweet "play certain games, win certain prizes"

Honesly an editor would reject this copy as hackneyed shash

I personally know (knew?) someone with a Wikipedia article about dying in the street after doing a ton of blow, naked, covered in Vaseline, running away from prostitutes... And even this might top that in terms of most hilarious death.

Also, please extrapolate, if it's not too painful to recall more details. Vaseline Crime Scene is the name of my upcoming podcast.

To be fair, his death was way after me and my family knew him, but he did have a cocaine problem. Look up Herb Abrams; also I misspoke, it was baby oil.

Mr. Electric has an interesting wiki. Thank you for sharing.

I once met a man who fell through a roof of a restaurant & then covered himself in ketchup and mustard. He awoke to the police finding him swaddled in a blanket of insulation.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Also a good story, lol. And no worries, this was ages ago!

It's got nothing on clown slaughter, but yes it is very funny

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Just for curiosity, is there a video of this? Everyone describes it as sooooo funny. I'm feeling left out.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Duckduckgo, search "theync charlie kirk" and you will probably find it easily enough. To everyone else don't be surprised at what you see given that you are searching for it.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

If the elementary school children need to deal with it, we should be able to stomach it too.

I feel like're getting so detached from one of the most basic and true parts of human life, thanks to algorithms and advertisers: death.

Most of us don't have a real sense of what it means to actually get shot, bombed, starved, or whatever else. Pictures and videos have been scrubbed from the "mainstream" internet, and if you're reading this you're most likely privileged enough to be living in a "civilised country" and not see it on a regular basis, especially the gory kind. In my opinion /r/watchpeopledie was a great service to the internet. It was a very real memento mori, a sobering moment of breaking out of the everyday numbness that really burned into your brain - shit does happen. In boring, unexpected, quick, violent ways. It really gave a new meaning to "live your life like every day could be your last" for me.

Maybe, if people actually imagined what their child could see looking at their dead best friend laying on the ground next to them, they would take gun control more seriously. Instead they're getting terror drills, armed drones and a school ready to be turned into a battlefield.

More people should see the results of Israeli actions. I don't care if you support Palestine or not, but how the fuck could you support Israel?

If God saved Trump in Butler, what does that say about Charlie Kirk?

Oh right, the same old tired answer: God's Plan. The unfortunate cop-out that explains why God is capable of being responsible for everything good while absolving him of responsibility for everything negative.
