Based on reports of what the 2nd video shows (up-close) I'd be surprised if he isn't dead, but I have not watched that video, nor do I really want to seek it out, it would feel a bit weird to do so. Anyways, I'm not going to celebrate his death, but I'm not going to cry about it either, I don't care if he lives or dies, I hate the man, he has filled the world with so much poison. Having said that, I don't condone the violence and I feel sorry for the people there that witnessed a mans neck being blown out, it will scar them for life, also the shooter could have hurt someone else. I am also concerned about the blowback this will receive, it will embolden certain far-right members who will use this as an excuse to attack XYZ, without even first knowing all of the facts, it will embolden Trump to do even more fascist shit like send the military into another city, it's not a win. But Thoughts and Prayers to Kirk. Just hope it's not a trans-person or a non-white person, because the right would really go nuts with that, they still will, and they will use this as an example of how all Democrats are violent murderers (without first waiting for the facts) whilst sticking their heads in the sand for all the recent Republican shooters. There are reports of an old white guy being arrested there but not fully confirmed. |
I am not a psychic, so I'm not going to pretend I can predict whether this will have a positive or negative effect overall.Â
But, I will always celebrate the death of fascists. |
Tbh in regards to all my fears, they're already doing all those things anyway.
Agreed with the Cooler Heads here. This act of political violence may one day soon serve as pretext to justify federal occupation of progressive cities or even unaccountable militias imprisoning people of color without due process at impenetrable, inhumane black sites. Well, I sure hope not!

So...Yeah...Hmm.
Anyway, I won't condemn you for that either, I don't care about defending as someone as disgusting as Kirk.
