A single shot was fired at Kirk during one of his rants at Utah Valley University, striking him in the neck.
Apparently, he’s still alive.
No automatic or semi-automatic fire? No bump stock? No large magazine? Violent liberals really need to learn more about the gear the Right embraces so readily.
Thoughts and prayers! Nothing more!
You guys didn’t pray hard enough. He’s dead.
This is bad news. Not only does no one deserve to be murdered, but this is going to be used to blame everyone the Right hates.
Dammit! I thought this was going to be a “good news” story.
Oh, dear. A fascist, Christian nationalist is shot. Perhaps it’s time for Trump to send his national police force to Utah. It’s past time to clean up that Mormon hellhole.
As much as I want to, I can’t avoid the “thoughts”, but…I don’t have any prayers for any one and even less for a shithole like Kirk.
I’m not in favor of violence or political assassinations.
I wish he hadn’t been shot.
Then again, I’m trying hard to care about this guy getting shot and it isn’t working.
Thoughts and prayers.
If you die, say hello to the demons in hell.
My thoughts exactly. The biggest problem of our time is that the left can’t shot.
This isn’t a good day for a lot of people and it is only 1:00 PDT.
School shooting in Colorado.
More from Bluesky FWIW.
Reports are that it was a serious wound to the neck and he is in critical condition.
He isn’t going anywhere for a while.
I’ve seen the clip of Kirk getting shot and it is quite hard to imagine surviving that wound. He was hit right in a major neck blood vessel, instantly began gushing blood, and seemingly lost consciousness within 2-3 seconds. If he survives, it would be nothing short of astounding.
If he survives, he’ll become the ultimate Xtian martyr. It will be a testament to their “god’s power to heal”. He and others will believe he has a divine purpose and will probably end up elected president. Although I seriously doubt there will ever be another free and fair election in the U.S..
I watched the video. Kind of wish I hadn’t. If he was shot through the neck, which it certainly looks like he was, he’s 100% going to die.
I don’t wish that kind of death on anyone. Then again, he’s the one who said that occasional gun murders are a worthwhile price to pay for the Second Amendment. This is the world he wanted to live in.
So, it looks like Charlie Kirk has entered the 2028 presidential race…
That was my first thought when reading the headline.
apparently kirk has died. just read on CNN
He died.
As Clarence Darrow said: I have never killed anyone, but I have read many obituaries with pleasure.
Ironically, he was apparently giving a speech where he was trying to downplay mass shootings, on a campus that just voted to allow firearms last year.
Personally, my money is on the shooter being a Qanon conspiracy nut who’s mad at the Trump Administration over their continued refusal to release the Epstein Files.
2028 presidential frontrunner withdraws from race…
CNN: live news
I don’t trust anything Trump says without confirmation but considering the wound it would be amazing if Kirk survived.
Kyle Kulinski is often over the top or sometimes hard to take IMO. Not now. This kinda has him perturbed:
I’m with raven@4 and Adam Lee @10 on this. I despise the guy, but him getting shot solves nothing. I hope he survives. No tots or pears though.
Ughh! Raven @6 adds another item even more concerning.
He is dead according to several sources.
” A suspect remains at large.”
I stand corrected.
He’s confirmed dead.
Raw Story reports Charlie Kirk is now officially dead.
Dead as per ABC News.
Cheetolini is apparently all broken up about it. Or as upset as he ever gets about harm to someone who isn’t him.
Also, the person initially taken into custody is apparently no longer considered the suspect.
