    There’s so many layers of irony to this event. You can’t make this shit up.

    A man, who made a career downplaying gun violence and advocating against empathy for its victims, was shot while giving a talk about his favorite topic under a tent that said “Prove me wrong”, on a college campus in a state that just lifted its ban on weapons on college campuses. His own quotes can be endlessly used to shut down any outrage at his ironic demise.

    Charlie Kirk’s final moments were spent being definitively and completely proven wrong.

    If this wasn’t going to used as an excuse to ban Trans people from owning firearms and for further violence against the opposition, it would be hilarious.

    The most interesting thing about people like him getting killed is that the it exposes just how morally bankrupt this country is at its core. There’s no morals, no values, no principles, no accountability, no self awareness, and no consistency among the populace. Social media has really fried everybody’s brain.

    Wtf is killing him gonna prove? It’ll just make a martyr of him to the right and prove to them the left is insane.

    The way that shirt moves looked like it was pretty serious.

    He was sitting at what he calls the “prove me wrong” table, answering questions about gun violence.

    I think someone managed it.

    Republican Senate Leader John Thune of South Dakota: “There is no place in our country for political violence. Period, full stop.”

    Says the asshole who’s party advocate for political violence every fucking day.
