- Republicans warn against mocking Kirk’s death, threaten dire consequences
- At least 15 people fired or suspended for allegedly disrespecting Kirk’s memory
- Online campaigns directed by Republicans continue to target Kirk’s critics online
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - After the fatal shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, U.S. Republicans have a warning for Americans: Mourn him respectfully or suffer the consequences.
Over the past several days, Democratic and Republican leaders have widely condemned the murder of Kirk, a 31-year-old activist and Trump world celebrity known for his hard-right views and pugnacious debating style.
That’s not a “warning,” that’s a threat.
It is just and righteous to threaten them in kind and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
Facts. This “they go low, we go high” stuff got us stuck with fascism. It’s time to start swinging.
Yeah, why doesn’t that moron Obama come out and update us on her feelings of how going high has worked out? Just a little update. Only silence.
I get the sarcasm, I just don’t… get it.
Mourn him properly or else
Who do these people think they are?
Our lords and masters, literally.
They think they are everyone’s betters. They have God on their side y’know.
Or else fuckin what?
Whenever I see pictures of Charlie Kirk I sincerely can’t tell if his face really is that small or if it’s shopped for the memes.
-
Publish every single business that fires employees over this.
-
Create a centralized repository of those businesses
-
???
-
Destroy profit
Pretty good idea ngl, could even be the precursor to a sorely needed general strike for better working conditions and political representation of non-corporations.
Looks like we’re really gonna have two Americas soon
God, I wish. It would be so nice not to be weighed down by all the baggage. All they do is steal my tax money without representation then piss it all away.
I’d love to move to a saner country.
I fully support an independent union of western states.
Becoming the Canadian province of Pacifica or Cascadia would also be acceptable. Let Gilead fend for itself.

Cancel culture run amok /s
Hypocrites gonna hypocrite.
Don’t need the /s. The Confederates looooove (the real) cancel culture and always very much have. The shit they were bitching about didn’t even exist.
I’m sorry, I just don’t have the empathy to mourn Charlie Kirk. It would sully his memory.
I’ll say this about Charlie Kirk: while inconsistent, at some point he wanted the Epstein files released. Let’s mourn him properly. Let’s get those files. Do it for Charlie™.
He wanted them released until the admin told him not to. No brownie points for that.
Yes, “mourning”, that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Me too. He went so fast he didn’t know what was happening.
Those frames immediately after impact keep replaying in my head and it makes me feel uncomfortable in public spaces. It’s so difficult to hide my erection.
My dick is tiny so I don’t have that problem.
I do not condone murder. I don’t even support a death penalty. But I do not and will not mourn terrorists, nor will I tolerate the whitewashing, sanewashing, or saintwashing of that hateful, monstrous person. Who dedicated their life to spreading fear and suffering and damnation among his fellow man.
I am a staunch atheist, but since Kirk frequently masqueraded as a Christian, I’ll leave you all with this:
Matthew 23:13-15
Tap for spoiler
You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! Because you have shut people out from the kingdom of heaven you will never enter, just as you have stopped others from entering.
You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! You would rob a widow of everything she has left, while verbosely pretending to pray; therefore, your punishment will be unimaginable.
You will suffer, you politicians and preachers. Hypocrites! You would travel any distance over land or sea to win one convert; and when you have one, you make them twice the child of damnation that you are.
Kirk did not deserve to be killed.
I won’t mourn him and no one else should because Kirk and many others like him on the right have been pouring gas on the fire that is violence in the US.
Had Hasan Piker or any other left wing commentator been shot, Charlie Kirk would have been crowd funding to get the shooter out on bail.
Well that’s absolute nonsense and you know it. Empathy is for the weak remember? These are blatant lies
"Don’t speak ill of the dead "
Well then, don’t be a piece of shit while you’re alive.
I think they are right. Everyone should mourn him properly.
And there is no way more proper than respecting his own wishes and acting like he encouraged to do.
So let’s gladly accept his death as the neccessary and justified cost for free gun ownership, don’t politicize his death, don’t show any empathy for him who preached violence and reaped exactly what he sowed, and start collecting money for the legal representation of the guy who shot him.
Did I miss anything?
Every time I go to the range now, I’ll thank Charlie for dying so that I can own this rifle that I bought long before he was relevant or caught one in the neck.
May he rest in piss.
