There’s a unique response to Lucas’ murder – none of the local media outlets covering the crime have used Lucas’ name or any identity. Their focus has been on the murderers. I’ve been doing this for over 13 years and I’ve not encountered this before. Typically, outlets will say “the victim” or “the male victim” or “a local man was killed yesterday.” I’ve certainly encountered a lot of deadnaming and misgendering.
But if you read through the coverage, you’ll see almost no reference to Lucas at all. The outlets mention the suspects first on the run, then captured. No mention of the crime or the victim, not even in broad strokes.
You laugh when Charlie Kirk was killed and expect me to have any empathy for this guy? I want you to imagine half of the unites states laughing and celebrating this guys murder. This is the world YOU have created.
Kirk was a propagandist toadie who spent his time promoting guns, and therefore gunviolence, and he died in the funniest way possible, given the circumstances
This other guy is just some guy livin his life.
You haven’t cared about a single unnecessary death from a school shooting, a power-tripping cop or a Middle Eastern bombing over the past couple decades but now that Charlie Kirk has been shot your apathy is actually a stance. Glad he died for something
Nobody who matters gives a FUCK about Charlie Kirk.
