Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.
Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.
Also, uh, if you have any doubt in your fortitude whatsoever, do not watch them.
Seriously.
For anyone who is curious but might not want to watch the video, here’s a description I found that a friend of mine who watched it says is accurate:
Description
he got shot in the neck by a high powered rifle and instantly litres of blood spewed out as he slumped over. He likely won’t survive.
Dude could have fell off his seat and onto a trauma operating table and still died.
Yep yep yep this x100, if you have PTSD or just have never seen or cannot handle extreme gore, probably actually do not watch the clip.
This is an extremely legitimately trigger warning worthy video clip.
Ya, the video is grim. Seriously doubt he survived.
Agree. I watched it and really wish I hadn’t.
You may want this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Charlie_Kirk
There are already 23 references to news articles and social media posts on there last I checked
I like how every news outlet says “GRAPHIC WARNING”, then proceeds to blur it anyways. Like… wtf is the point? Can’t even find a link lol
You got to admit if you didn’t want to get shot, visiting a US school was a bad idea.
Trump ally Charlie Kirk suggests children should watch public executions
He ended up being the one being executed publicly
Reminder that this is Kirk’s stance on guns:

Unfettered 2A is worth the gun deaths according to Charlie Idiot here.
ETA: holy shit, saw a clip and damn, that dude is dead.
Statistics are always nice and vague until you become one of them.
One death is a tragedy, Charlie Kirk’s is a statistic
More like “hilarious”, especially since he was literally doing his “we must accept shootings for the 2A” shtick. Literally would be something written in a dark comedy.
Reminds me of a joke.
Back during the 1950s, a USSR elementary school is discussing the definition of different words. The teacher asks “who can say what catastrophe means?” Dmitri raises his hand, “if my mother dropped her groceries on the way home, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “not quite, that would be a misfortune, it wouldn’t be a catastrophe.” Svetlana raises her hand and says “if a plane were to crash, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “not exactly, that would certainly be a tragedy but not a catastrophe. Then Sasha raises his hand, “if our great comrade Stalin died, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “very good! That would indeed be a catastrophe. How did you know that was correct?” Sasha: “well, it wouldn’t be a misfortune, it wouldn’t be a tragedy…”
Haha, I’ve heard this same joke before but with Ian Paisley, the unionist leader in Northern Ireland.
“How did you know that that would be a tragedy, if my plane were to crash?”
“Well it wouldn’t be a great loss, and it definitely wouldn’t be an accident.”
It’s a good one.
Oh, I’d say it’s clearly more significant than a statistic. Definitely not a tragedy though.
A quote that hits like a purposeful steel toe boot obliterating unprotected genitals.
Ironically this is exactly what the 2A was built for. To off tyrants.
Unlimited AR-15s and Glocks to every minority.
Unlimited AR-15s and Glocks to every minority.
This is unironically the same idea that started the Black Panthers. People noticed that peaceful unarmed protests were violently busted by the cops… But peaceful heavily armed protests were politely watched from across the street. So they started arming the people who were protesting, and those people were largely minorities.
I wonder if his stance on that position changed at all in the 0.5 seconds between the hit and loss of consciousness.
Internet medical expert here.
Arteries spray, so must have hit a vein. That is survivable if you get fast medical attention to stop the bleeding. It’s dicey, but since it’s already been over an hour, he either has enough blood left at this point or he doesn’t.
Edit: nevermind
He’s dead. Trump confirmed it.
Odd place for a Babylon 5 reference, especially a Vorlon.
He lost consciousness instantly, indicating significant loss of blood pressure towards the brain, i.e., an artery was hit.
Secondly, not just hit but completely severed, explaining the massive non-spraying blood loss; similar to why a garden hose without the nozzle just flows. Only if it were a small enough puncture it would spray.
I’m not going to lose sleep over it.
“god given rights” haha. Fucking clownery.
It has now been officially confirmed that he is in fact dead.
I just saw the clip too. Kirk fully sucked but I don’t know how you can watch that video and not see a fellow human dying
It is absolutely something to meditate on, that’s for sure.
My non-mod opinion on this:
Trump is posting Kirk is dead.
Not going to celebrate, just noting:
“I can’t stand the word ‘empathy’, I think it’s a made up New Age term.” - Charlie Kirk
Trump ordered flags at half mast until Sunday. So this piece of shit got what he quite literally asked for and it’s a national tragedy, but innocent children killed in schools on a weekly basis get “nothing we can do about it, thoughts an prayers 🤷♂️.” Fucking clownshow.
He was sitting at what he calls the “prove me wrong” table, answering questions about gun violence.
I think someone managed it.

ngl i did a double take here.
especially if you use old.lemmy.world which mimics Reddit’s old format (which I love and use). Kinda hard to tell the difference without looking at the URL
why isn’t this a feature on .ml :'(
I’d recommend switching instances for a few other reasons than that
It’s so refreshing being able to say stuff that’s like mildly controversial and not have to worry if I’m gonna wake up to a big red “YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM YOUR FAVORITE WEBSITE, THE ENTIRE THING, FOREVER. NO ONE TO TALK TO. ALONE.”
I can say whatever I want here!
PENIS PENIS PENIS
Had my 12-year-old account banned without recourse or appeal because I quoted someone using a mild slur so they couldn’t edit it after I reported them, I got the ban from that subreddit instead, mod was a blithering child who just laughed and told me to fuck off, the next day reddit admins had perma-banned me and I don’t have the energy to do the whole IP-reset-cookie-clearing dance to make an account that isn’t automatically shadowbanned.
The people I knew there, the communities I modded, all gone. Fuck that site. It’s now like half bots anyway.
All new accounts are shadowbanned. Your first comment is visible, and then if you comment too much, they’re all invisible. They don’t become visible again for like a month.
oh I know, I was a mod of a large sub and know the rules, or at least how they used to be. They really didn’t like me, likely because I was antagonizing conservatives a lot harder than I antagonize leftists here.
I had a similar experience, except I posted facts as a refute on some conservative subreddits. I had 2 accounts at the time and upvoted it, and bam, everything of 10 years, gone.
It’s hard to create new accounts, but I don’t disagree.

For your point 6, they will ramp it up. That’s what they do.
Yeah, pretty much. Nazis aren’t going to care about any facts here, just going to be out for “revenge” for one of their own.
2A up responsible liberals and minorities, it ain’t going to be pretty.
and the response will need to be in kind
Charlie Kirk is not exactly a subtle small face in all of that.
🤣😂
Agreed though everyone, even the shitheads that promotes political violence, deserve life.
It’s long past time that the US needs to grapple with guns and repeal the 2nd amendment
Right, only Trump’s government should have guns. Fuck the minorities
Consistent gun laws is not a huge ask. It’s simple fucking common sense. And anyway what’s the worry? We built a society so slavishly devoted to guns that children are routinely mowed down by gunfire and nothing happens. Relax.
Yea! The US government would never be able to cope with armed minorities. It makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it.
It’s so frustrating when people on the Left buy into the red-neck 2A bullshit. Maybe y’all are trying to honor Charlie Kirk by promoting his views.
Looks more like a balding gray haired white guy.
Which means there’s a chance he’ll survive to trial
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they claimed the shooter is trans. They’ve done it before with absolutely no evidence.
Free conspiracy theory: It was the CIA as a distraction from the Epstein files.
Oh, so this is the school shooting that Conservatives suddenly give two shits about?
My water heater started leaking over the weekend. It was only seven years old, but I suppose since the warranty was six years, I shouldn’t complain? Anyway, I installed my new water heater today, so I can shower again. This one has a 12-year warranty, it might out live me.
I just took a shower, I feel great. I’ll be going for a walk around sunset. It’s been a good day.
Play Nazi games, win Nazi prizes.
Former President Barack Obama stressed that “this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.”
With all due respect sir, if our democracy were functioning for all of the people instead of just for the rich, people wouldn’t feel the need to vote with the ammo box.
