    God given rights?

    Didn’t the British leave Britain for America to get away from the church and give themselves their own rights?

    You don’t have to like him, but jeez people in here are messed up. I’m a little surprised that so many people are celebrating an ideological assassination. Democracy literally cannot survive if opinions are punishable by death, and that alone should be soundly condemned.

    I’m getting pretty fucking sick of seeing this ‘no one should be killed for their political beliefs’ take going around.

    He wasn’t killed for his beliefs. He was killed because he dedicated his life to terrorizing everyone who isn’t a conservative white man, and was materially supporting state violence in the pursuit of white supremacy.

    That is 100% something we have firmly established that people should be shot for, in multiple wars throughout the last few centuries.

    This is a TRAGEDY! WHY couldn’t they MURDER A BUNCH OF KINDERGARTNERS Instead? This SUCKS! It’s TIME for Trump to send the Military into the Shithole Blue state of Utah!

        Yeah, that’s not a good place to get shot. AP news said he, “grabbed up with his right hand to his left shoulder” or some shit but that dude is unconscious immediately. Just that old “fencer’s response” Prolly gonna die.

          There are several liters of blood in a full sized adult. I don’t understand how people are so shocked by a cup or two’s worth.

            Yes i know, but it’s not something you see everyday in HD and close up.

            Most of the gore videos I saw as a teen didn’t even come close to how clear this was and i saw a cartel beheading video.

        I was eating lunch when I watched it. I’m fine. I have empathy when I step on a bug. Not for hateful people like that though.

          yeah that was…very not gruesome? i’ve seen people hype it up but, like, that was nothing? unless you’re afraid of blood i guess. most death i’ve seen in my life was way worse.

          I was just thinking about that. Someone will whine about empathy sooner or later and I’ve come up with what I think is a pretty good response, feel free to use it if you agree.

          I’ve been putting up with their hateful shit for most of my life, exactly how many years of that are required before I’m allowed to have an empty empathy tank for them?

        Fuck, glad I waited to smoke a joint on that one. That doesn’t really seem survivable. Especially with the way the body moved. Though I want confirmation.

        I unfortunately looked at it. The guy saying, “Yeah, gang violence” right before, is some weird shit.

        Also, why would anyone kill him? He’s been irrelevant for awhile now, yeah?

              Yea, all that gang violence in all those schools, Chuck.

              What a perfect time for him to be shot. It’s poetry, truly.

                It’s my personal belief with absolutely no evidence that the person asking the questions and the shooter were working together. Those questions and the timing of the shot are just too fucking perfect.

                  Life is stranger than fiction. Yes, the timing worked out, that doesn’t mean fuck all. This isn’t a movie, and sometimes timing can be unintentionally poetic. The shooter could hear them, too, and may have decided that was the moment they wished to fire the shot on their own accord. Those types of questions are asked all the time at these shitty debates, it’s not even remotely special and it’s even a topic that is one of the core things Kirk pushed pretty heavily.

                  Everyone’s making up all kinds of conspiracies when the highly likely, nearly guaranteed, reality is that it was someone who came to the conclusion that the systems present in the US would not only do nothing to punish Kirk for his hate but in fact reward him for it. The same thing happened to a certain health insurance CEO for the same reason. They took the law into their own hands because the law does exist to serve victims, only oppressors.

                  Yes, this means the violence all too present in the US has finally come to white conservatives. Deal with it.

          eh. that was a good bit of blood, but if you’ve seen someone die outside of a hospital you’ve probably seen worse.

      Don’t worry. This is the casus belli that the Guardians Of Pedophiles have been trying to force for months. As much as I love California, I think it’s time to head back to BC. Things are about to get much worse in the US.

      My advice to anyone else that isn’t prepared to fight for survival is to find a way out now. You don’t have long.

        I don’t know. It’s not quite right. Utah is God’s Country. They’re looking for something in Los Angeles, Chicago, DC. The liberal hellholes.

          “The shooter visited California once, where they were radicalized by the violent left.”
          “The shooter owned an iPhone, which is designed by Apple in California. The violent leftists are responsible.”
          “Liberals, who constantly demonize conservative speech, are responsible!”

          There need not be any actual ties to Los Angeles, Chicago, or DC. They can cut any narrative they like from whole cloth. Denying reality and substituting their own is the rightist way.

            They can try. But declaring martial law nationally over one shooting is a huge escalation. The idea is to ramp up slowly. One city, one state. And trying to start that process in Utah isn’t going to work well. Utah has their own cult, which isn’t fully behind Trump. There’s a risk of a schism. The Mormons are heavily armed, historically militant, and have a desire to form their own nation.

        For a lot of us we can’t simply leave. And if we can, it could still take years for visas. If we are lucky it will be short, but I’m not too optimistic.
