I’m not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don’t always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

    My only disappointment is a shot to the carotid artery means he likely had no time to process the karmic irony of his death.

      Based on his body posture right after it looks like he got reset to factory default settings. I think his brain stem got damanged. It was probably lights out immediately

      I feel like whoever the shooter was they were imported from another country where they are trained for shooting like this, real marksmanship, and went back right after they are done, somewhere without an extradition treaty maybe.

          On a target that can’t move when you’re relaxed at a range and not wondering if you’re doing the right thing, but otherwise sure.

            He wasn’t moving either. I do respect the spot though. That was a narrow field of view with that tent above him. Trust me, I’ve been in a position with guns trained on people wondering whether I was doing the right thing (hint: I wasn’t, but I’ve grown a hell of a lot since then). But still, that’s not a tough shot even with iron sights, especially with a bolt-action. If there was a well zeroed scope, it’d be hard to miss.

              He moved immediately before the shot happened. He was leaning back in his chair and then jumped forwards rapidly to pick up a microphone to respond to a question. He was shot less than a second after doing this.

                So what’s your point? Realistically that doesn’t change the marksmanship aim. I’m really trying to figure out your point. He really barely moved. Like the distance between the carotid artery and the throat. That’s an inch and a half at best.

                  He moved over a foot. Your point was that he didnt move, that it wasnt a tough shot. Now its that he did move but as long as it was about an inch then it was still an easy shot.

                  He moved more than a foot. Did you watch the video?
