    Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.

    Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.

    Trump ordered flags at half mast until Sunday. So this piece of shit got what he quite literally asked for and it’s a national tragedy, but innocent children killed in schools on a weekly basis get “nothing we can do about it, thoughts an prayers 🤷‍♂️.” Fucking clownshow.

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

    I think someone managed it.

    Okay. Let me try to make a comment here that won’t get obliterated as it’s going to be real, REAL hard to dance within the lines on this.

    1. Hokay… I obviously do not condone violence of any kind. But… literally no one can be surprised by this happening. Certainly not them. They’ve been pushing extremely violent rhetoric for years and Charlie Kirk is not exactly a subtle small face in all of that.

    2. Astounding accuracy. I mean it wasn’t like Kirk was moving around a whole lot in the situation but still.

    3. Huge crowd, or at least for what I would expect, but I’m surprised no one saw something.

    4. Angle of attack is kind of surprising as well. Kirk was sat fairly low down with a covering over the top. Relatively shallow angle from what I could see in order to be able to hit him. Shot seems to have come from his right.

    5. His right is exposed overall but does anyone know what’s actually to the left there?

    6. And lastly, I am wondering how this is going to impact Nazis like Kirk in general. Are they going to ramp it up or step it down? Also wonder how long before people start saying it was done by some trans antifa palestinian who came to Utah from NYC via LA.

    My water heater started leaking over the weekend. It was only seven years old, but I suppose since the warranty was six years, I shouldn’t complain? Anyway, I installed my new water heater today, so I can shower again. This one has a 12-year warranty, it might out live me.

    I just took a shower, I feel great. I’ll be going for a walk around sunset. It’s been a good day.

    Former President Barack Obama stressed that “this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.”

    With all due respect sir, if our democracy were functioning for all of the people instead of just for the rich, people wouldn’t feel the need to vote with the ammo box.
