    But, but, the main stream media and politicans said that Charlie “LIttle Face” Kirk approached politics the right way. Did the mainstream media and politicans lie to us?

    To point out even further how criminally wrong this question is, Camp Mystic is 130 miles west of Austin.

    Well, it was definitely the black people’s fault, not the state of Texas’ or the Federal Government for not having infrastructure to warn people of potential danger. Cheap, readily available technology. Those people were failed by their state, not the camp organizers.

      Is this not the same incident where the camp administrators had warning and did not attempt evacuation until it was far too late?

        In a county that received federal funds to construct warning systems, but refused to do so. In fact, as I recall they ended up taking the money and allocating it to the police budget instead.

    You don’t have to search long to discover that Charlie Kirk was a loathsome individual.

    Even when he died, his last words were an attempt to mislead people into thinking that trans people were more violent than they are.

      his last words were an attempt to mislead people into thinking that trans people were more violent than they are.

      they were actually “counting or not counting gang violence” which is a racist dogwhistle.

      Unless there’s been some new trans gangs

        He was pivoting to that after getting called out with data when he was lying about trans mass shooters. Instead of accepting that he was lying he tried to deflect with racism.

        Here is the context. It really was an attempt to paint trans people as violent.

        “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” an audience member asked.

        “Too many,” Kirk responded to applause from the crowd.

        The attendee informed him that the total was five and continued: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

        “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk replied before, just seconds later, he was struck by the bullet and fell from his chair, prompting the panicked crowd to disperse in terror.

        The reason he brought up that point was to support his proposition that trans people are violent.

        Liberal gun nut here. It’s useful to set gang violence aside to seperate it from gun violence that is random, which is what most people fear. IRL the term is almost always used to mean, “brown people killing each other doesn’t count”.

          Targeted violence does not bother people as much, same thing with the mob killing each other, or even a jilted lover. What really freaks people out is random violence.

          The meth head that knifes someone for their wallet in an alley, or indiscriminately spraying bullets and hitting innocent bystanders.

          The media feeds the fear, expressly to build the police state, and to give them unaccountable power.

        Somebody else on the fediverse here right after this happened was saying that he likes to think the shooter was sitting there listening to him wondering if he wants to pull the trigger and then heard that bullshit.

    Complete nazi scum. I’m glad he’s dead. I hope other people like him are no longer brainwashed by extremist terroristic religions. He helped spread religious hate and lies to too many people.

    If all legal efforts don’t stop people like this, illegal efforts will occur. Nobody wants christian nazis around except christian nazis.

      His religion will ensure that it will do everything possible to turn them into the exact same piece of trash that their parent was. Since it was religion that turned him into a racist nazi.

      There’s a common thread between all extremist religious nazis. It’s the religion part.

        Business is behind all of this. They wrote the game plan, and they are running the plays. They brought the religious in on it as allies. But big money is even more responsible for all of this than religion.

      If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you

      Conservative media aims to get the amygdala fired up to override the higher brain functions. Angry, afraid people don’t think, they feel.
